FRST 240745 - Rehabilitate Historic Sheriff's House - First State National Historical Park, New Castle, Delaware. The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the Sheriff¿s House for occupancy and provide appropriate allocation of the building¿s interior spaces for park operations, visitor services, and potentially compatible non-National Park Service (NPS) uses, or a combination thereof. Rehabilitation will consider park and visitor needs, accessibility, resource preservation, and visitor experience. Potential impacts on historic structures and districts are evaluated based on changes to character-defining features of the resources, which are the characteristics of a historic property that qualify the property for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. There are no functional code compliant building systems currently in this structure. Adaptive re-use and occupancy of this building for multiple uses will require the introduction of non-historic elements including but not limited to: structural reinforcement, heating and ventilation systems, electrical systems, potable water and sanitary sewer, communications/IT systems, physical security hardware and monitoring systems, and fire protection and life safety systems in compliance with ICC building codes for public occupancy buildings. Interior and Exterior historic fabric and elements would be repaired and restored as appropriate. Adaptation for future uses will also include providing universal access into the building, while maintaining and preserving the historic character for the future. Additional details about exterior, interior, and interpretive requirements are outlined in the attachment.
