that may be contained herein. Individuals are urged to contact the
Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission for complete guidelines
as may apply to your project.
The Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission
utilizes design standards as a guide in determining the appropriateness
of projects within the Herron-Morton Place Historic Conservation
Area. These standards were created in order to preserve and protect
the area's historic resources and unique characteristics while allowing
for growth and new development.
The design standards are to be used as a guide
by property owners and others interested in developing a project
or in making simple improvements within the Herron-Morton Place
Area. The staff of the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission
is available to help interpret the criteria established by the standards
and assist in finding appropriate approaches for the development
of projects.
These standards are guidelines and should not
be read as absolute rules. Every project will have its own differing
set of goals, constraints, problems and impacts, all of which may
suggest a somewhat different utilization of the standards.
The information contained throughout these pages
has been obtained from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission's
Herron-Morton Place Historic Area Plan. All restoration, rehabilitation,
and new construction projects must conform to the design guidelines
set forth in this plan. The IHPC has design review only over exterior
changes. However, building interiors, as well as exteriors, may
have historical and architectural significance. Therefore, the retention
and restoration of interior features - woodwork, plaster work, fire
places, stairways, etc. - is encouraged.
