Abstract
The dramatic transformations that have taken place in Delaware's rural and urban landscapes over the past decade have exacted
a tremendous and irreversible toll on the built environment. Abandonment, vandalism,
demolition, and uninformed renovations have
contributed to the overall loss of material even in New Castle County and the City of Wilmington, where preservation planners have gained some measure of cooperation from responsive property owners in terms of partial funding for historic structures documentation. The following guidelines will act as standards that will provide for the documentation of threatened structures throughout the state at a level appropriate to their individual significance and integrity.
