From introduction: "This handbook provides many helpful tips for homeowners who plan improvements to their properties. It includes suggestions for many types of work that may occur, to assure that projects will be respectful of the historic character of the West Boulevard Historic District. The information appears as a series of 'design guidelines,' which offer a range of solutions for each design topic that is addressed. These include descriptions of preferred design approaches, and also indicates alternative solutions. The handbook is organized into sections that relate to different types of construction. One chapter, for example, provides tips for work on Contributing properties. Another chapter provides guidance for designing new, compatible infill. Another includes a variety of guidelines for site design. Diagrams also help users determine a general approach to an improvement project that will meet preservation objectives while also considering the unique circumstances of each property. Illustrations appear throughout that show appropriate and inappropriate designs to help interpret the guideline text." These guidelines were funded in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the South Dakota State Historical Society (grant number 46-11-31948) and a subgrant to the City of Rapid City, South Dakota (project number SD-11-012). Rapid City, South Dakota is a Certified Local Government.
