Every historic building has its own character and relates to its surrounding neighborhood in a different way. Because of this, the Huntsville Historic Preservation Commission uses a set of design review guidelines to guide them in making reasonable and consistent decisions regarding how proposed changes will affect the overall historic character of a building and its neighborhood.
