ROBERT PURVIS 5591 1 R STREET IN THE HEIGHTS held in trust for the public by their owners. 501-666-1294 LITTLE ROCK. AR 72207 However, as many home owners, builders and contractors have discovered, restoring or building in historic districts poses a unique and in some cases intimidating set of challenges. The guidelines developed by historical- commissions in an effort to preserve the architectural integrity of historic buildings are often . restrictive and complex. Over the years, Wolverine sidings have been used ' by a number of builders, architects and home owners involved in historic restoration projects. As a result, we have learned how to work productively and cooper_a- -tively %vith historical commissions. We have also developed the Restoration Collection® of sidings and e accessories that reproduce some of the most popular American sidings, which have been approved for use in historic districts throughout the country. By sharing what we've learned, we hope to help make your restoration project simple, straightforward and successful. he purpose of historical commissions istorical commissions were formed in communities [roughout the United States in order to insure the -enervation of historically and culturally significant ,ighborhoods — those areas designated by cities, ates, and the federal government as historic districts. -eserving architecturally significant buildings in these •eas is extremely important, primarily because of the Eltural and aesthetic importance of the structures. iese buildings —treasures of our national past— are .erally irreplaceable. Also, renovation often makes ►od economic sense. is the responsibility of historical commissions to rersee the building application review process and to my or approve each project based on the appropriate- ;ss of the proposed work.

This is ie largely to the fact that all materials used on the 'oject must be -presented to the historical commission, id approved by them, before permits are issued. hat historical commissions look for siding materials though commission remodeling and construction sidelines vary from place to place throughout the iited States, we have found that there are many nilarities based on national guidelines. Here are me of the criteria typically applied by historical ,mmissions to the choice of siding materials: ['he siding should match or at least approximate the 1pearance of the original building material in size, ape, color and linear direction.
