annex might serve just as well as a new building. On the other hand, an expensive
retrofit may not be worthwhile if no amount of retrofitting would permit it to serve the
desired function. Moreover, retrofitting might undermine the historic value of the old
building by altering its aesthetic or architectural integrity.
In sum, neither modernization for its own sake nor indiscriminate preservation of
old buildings should guide decisions in the controversies at issue. Instead, decisions
should be made on a case-by-case basis, considering historic value, community need,
and the comparative costs and benefits of each alternative.
