Section 10-C702. CONTRIBUTING BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES, AND SITES

 

702.1The following considerations apply when determining whether a property meets the definition of a contributing building, structure, or site:

 

(a)A building or structure adds to a district's sense of time and place and historical development by virtue of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association;

 

(b)A building or structure adds to the historic associations or historic architectural qualities for which a district is significant because it dates from the period of significance, relates to the documented significance of the district, and possesses historic integrity; and

 

(c)An archaeological site adds to the archaeological values for which a property is significant because it was present during the period of significance and is capable of yielding information about the period.

 

702.2A building, structure, or site may also be determined contributing if it independently meets the criteria for listing in the D.C. Inventory or National Register.

 

702.3For some historic districts, contributing buildings have been specifically identified at the time of designation. However, the district may include buildings, structures, or sites that have achieved significance since the time of the district's designation. A building constructed in accordance with an approval under the Act may be compatible with a district, but is not a contributing building unless the Board has determined that it meets the criteria in this section.

 

702.4The same criteria may be applied to historic landmarks.
