25. Cooper-Molera Preservation Principles: Cooper-Molera’s inherent warmth, beauty, and authenticity will be maintained, and it will remain a part of the Monterey State Historic Park. To preserve Cooper-Molera’s organically-developed character and support a range of shared uses, all new interventions and finishes throughout the site—in historic structures, new construction, and the landscape—will be minimal and compatible. Commercial operations will be carefully designed and actively controlled by the National Trust—now and into the future—to ensure that they will not diminish the historic character and integrity of the property, and allow successful integration with public interpretation and educational programming. All changes to the property must be approved by the National Trust and must be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Preservation. 25
