2. CONTINUE the application to allow time

Historic Architectural Review Board Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns a proposed project at 142 Washington Street. The applicant seeks approval for the partial demolition of two windows over the front door and to ensure all muntins on the entire house have a proper profile. The Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) recommended the applicant consider a more appropriate applied muntin or window design. The board confirmed that flat strip muntins on secondary elevations were inappropriate for a historic house and would need to be replaced with rigid muntins that have the proper profile. This item is currently under review, with a motion to approve the application having carried unanimously. The project would involve work related to window replacement and restoration, potentially including demolition, framing, and installation of new window components. Contractors specializing in historic window restoration, carpentry, and potentially specialized glass or metalwork could find opportunities as the project moves forward. Early engagement is advised before final plans and permits are settled.
