B. Reconstruction of all or part of a historic property shall be appropriate when the reconsU'uction is essential for understanding and interpreting the value of a historic district, or when no other building, s~'ucture, object, or landscape feature with the same associative value has survived and sufficient historical documentation exists to insure an accurate reproduction of the original. C. The reproduction of missing elements accomplished with new materials shall duplicate the composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities of the missing element. Reconstruction of missing architectural features shall be based upon accurate duplication of original features substantiated by historical, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than upon conjectural designs or the availability of different Architectural features from other buildings, D. Reconstruction of a building or su'ucture on an original site shall be preceded by a thorough archeological investigation to locate and identify all subsurface features and artifacts. E.
