        "text": "Preserving historical integrity involves using appropriate materials and techniques that match the original construction as closely as possible. This often means sourcing period-correct lumber, matching existing trim profiles, or repairing rather than replacing original features like windows or doors. A key consideration is the balance between maintaining historic character and ensuring modern functionality, which might involve integrating discreet updates for energy efficiency or structural stability while minimizing visual impact.",
