A project is planned to repair and reconstruct parts of a historic property located at 31 S 5th St. The work includes replacing the exterior fabric with 1" x 6" shiplap siding to match existing structures. The foundation for a garage or shed will be CMU block with brick, and the porch will use pressure-treated pine. The original sign will be reinstalled. The site plan and building scale and height will not change. The porch will be updated from a brick wall to a more traditional railing, and the porch posts will be reconstructed for longevity. This project is currently under review by the Historic District Council for final approval. The work will involve demolition of existing porch elements, foundation rebuilding with spread footing and stem wall, reconstruction of porch posts, and installation of new siding and railings. Contractors specializing in site preparation, concrete, carpentry, painting, and potentially specialized historic restoration could find opportunities. Reaching out early before final bids and permits are issued may offer a business advantage.
