Is work visible from Public Way?:Yes
Applicant's Description of Work:The below encompasses the Proposed Work for Hamilton Hall broken out
by section and location (some of which is visible from the public way, while
other items are not visible from the public way):
1. We are proposing to scrape, repair, and repaint (color match) exterior trim
and fascia. The current gutter system is undersized and causes rain runoff to
overrun the gutter, rotting the fascia beneath. We are planning to remove the
gutter, repair the fascia and consider gutter replacement (pending cost). If
replacing gutter - material will be copper, to match existing material. The only
alteration would be increasing the size of the gutter to match the size and pitch
of the roof.
- Location: Chestnut Street elevation (North facing). This is in the public
view.
2. We are proposing to scrape, repair, reglaze, and repaint (color match)
window sills, window muntins/ mullions on exterior windows. Where
replacement materials are necessary - we will use mahogany. This includes
(3) palladian windows and (4) double hung windows.
