126 N Main Street (Historic District) Alteration (Window Replacement) Submitted by Heather Davies a) The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation state that deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. b) Staff notes that the Board may request a site visit to verify the condition of the existing windows. c) Question the appropriateness of the proposed window material. Staff notes 6 vinyl windows are proposed. Vinyl has not been an approved material within the Historic District. Revise proposed vinyl windows to wood or aluminum-clad wood windows to be more compatible within the historic district. d) The Secretary of Interior Standards state “the historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.” Question how the window header will be constructed for proposed window replacements 7,8, and 9.
