This section is included in your selections.

The purpose of this Section is to recognize Home's architectural significance that is derived from the scale, character and open space relationships between relatively small buildings and a diversity of building stock. Sustaining the character of Home depends on the maintenance of existing buildings and care in altering the building stock and conscientious placement and design of new buildings. Home's diverse building stock gives Home vitality. Through care with respect to site planning, scale and proportion, and material selection, this vitality can be preserved as existing buildings in Home are rehabilitated, restored and altered and as new buildings are added. Suggested guidelines were developed on the basis of research conducted for the Home, Washington Historic District Survey and Inventory. These guidelines should serve as a basic resource of design recommendations for anyone who is constructing or remodeling residential and commercial structures. The details can be found in the Home Historic District Design Manual available at Pierce County Planning and Public Works, Key Peninsula Library, or on the Pierce County website.
