Historic Disctrict Council Regular Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

The Historic District Council is reviewing a conceptual Certificate of Approval for properties at 102 and 106 S 7th Street. The applicant, 1st Impressions Contractors Inc. for BLUE HERON BNB, LLC, proposes to replace the existing exterior vinyl siding with Hardie Board, a material designed to look historic. These buildings, built in 1904 and 1880, are currently operating as a hotel and motel and are considered contributing structures within the historic district. The review is at the conceptual stage, meaning plans are still being formed. This project would involve exterior renovation work, potentially including the removal of vinyl siding and the installation of new Hardie Board siding. Contractors specializing in exterior renovations, siding installation, and potentially historic material restoration could find opportunities. Reaching out to the applicant or agent early could provide an advantage before final plans and permits are secured.
