I Margaret McGarvey, on behalf of “The Commons”, seeking
Certificate of Appropriateness for the west façade of their
Building located at 49 Water Street. (Hayscale Building) which
is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building
IS in the local Historic District.
Ms. McGarvey had previously appeared before the Board on
October 16 and November 6, 2003 for a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the East and North façade.
After beginning restoration work on the West façade, it was
determined that in fact the First Floor Façade would need to
be re-built. At this time, the applicants needed to submit an
amendment to their application.
In reviewing the current, rebuilt façade, the following changes
To the original were noted:
Additional supports were added on either side of the
existing structural columns, below the beam carrying the
second floor masonry, causing the doorways to narrow.
The metal cornice was removed and replaced with a
small awning/roof.
The wood storefront windows were replaced with vinyl
Composition assemblies.
The detailed trim was replaced with Hardi-board flat trim.
Ms McGarvey requested that the Board approve the changes
and issue a modified Certificate of Appropriateness for the
project.
Dispostion: Ellen Angel moved/Wayne Wilcox 2nd. To table
the discussion until an on-site meeting to determine revisions
to the current façade to be required by the Board. Motion passed 5:0
