19. New Entrances: New entrances should be located on the side or rear façades in locations

April 29, 2026 Historic Preservation Board · 2026-04-29 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed new entrances for a historic property. The entrances should be placed on the side or rear of the building to protect historic materials. New entrances must match the size, scale, and materials of the existing building. This is currently under review by the Historic Preservation Board. The project would involve careful demolition of existing materials, installation of new structural elements, and finishing work to create the new entrances. Contractors specializing in historic preservation, carpentry, masonry, and general construction could be involved. Reaching out to the property owner or project manager early, before final plans and permits are set, could provide an advantage in securing future work.
