HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
|
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said said the back and front are substantially the same. This is the third time MPS has come to HPC for windows on this building. MPS would like to replace every window as they all are in bad shape and the windows are non-operable (and the building does not have air conditioning). He would like more information on whether the larger windows could be repaired and covered with double-pane storms. A number of the doors are also in very bad shape.
Staff recommends approval with conditions detailed in the staff report.
Michelle Linski - MPS - they would like to use the Graham window which will reduce maintenance costs and will make the building shine. They are seeking approval so they can move quickly when they get a funding source.
Christopher Kidd - architect - they will do the additional investigation requested by staff; there are 2 concerns (energy savings and the existing windows may not even be able to be saved). The windows they want to use wouldn't need storms. The windows will match the profiles of the original 1928 windows, but will be aluminum.
Staff would support encapsulating some windows, but should investigate if some can be saved.
Hold to next month. | | |
