I am unable to attend the 9/7/2016 meeting, but as a private citizen, I want to comment on the
application to remove the siding and restore the clapboards on this building. I aasume the corner
boards and other trim elements will be restored.
I enthusiastically support this application for the following reasons:
The building is a fine example of the Italianate Style and after removal of the siding (in place
since at least 1974) ir should reveal its marvelous early appearance.
It now has its early fine slate roof and perhaps its original windows.
See attached photos for 2/17/2010 and 8/28/2016 appearance.
