Trim
Wood trim and
ornament are character-defining features that help identify its style.
Retain
original trim when possible, and replace in kind to match original when
necessary. Composite
materials when used
in custom design might be considered on a case by case basis. Medium-density
fiberboard (MDF) is
an approved material for the construction of architectural panels.
Recommendation:
When
proposing an addition or new construction, pay attention to neighboring
historic structures and
period styles to
determine the appropriate application, scale, and proportions of trim.
