From introduction: "These “Design Guidelines in Key West’s Historic District” are intended to preserve and protect the architectural environment and unique character of the historic neighborhoods of the Key West Historic District, Key West has one of the most significant of Florida’s historic districts to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service. The guidelines are intended to assist property owners, architects, developers and the Historic Architecture Review Commission (also known as HARC) in making appropriate decisions concerning renovation methods and materials in Key West’s historic districts. Signs, kiosks, outbuildings, streetscapes, Street furniture, murals, additions, and other new construction planned within these historic planning zones are a primary concern of the guidelines. Understanding the guidelines and the architectural review will assure that projects affecting historic structures will contribute to the sense of place and time, as well as, the visual beauty of the historic district of Key West." Funding was provided in part by a 2000 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Key West (project number FL-00-03) administered by the Florida State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
