Reconstruction

Reconstruction is a form of treatment that re-creates vanished or non-surviving portions of a property for interpretive purposes.

The Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (codified in 36 CFR 67 for use in the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program) define reconstruction as "the act or process of depicting, by means of new construction, the form, features, and detailing of a non-surviving site, landscape, building, structure, or object for the purpose of replicating its appearance at a specific period of time and in its historic location."

Other forms of treatment include preservation, rehabilitation, and Restoration.
