Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

A request for a Certificate of Appropriateness is under review for exterior maintenance improvements and additions at 417 Kirby Street. The proposed work includes the installation of storage sheds, ADA ramps, tile work, exterior painting, and resurfacing of walkways and stairs. The applicant aims to maintain the historic character of the property, with sheds to be painted to match the existing garage and placed to minimize visibility. ADA ramps will be constructed to preserve existing stairs and historic materials. This project is currently under review by the Historic Preservation Board. The scope of work involves site preparation for sheds, concrete repair and resurfacing for walkways and stairs, painting, and the installation of ADA ramps. Contractors specializing in site prep, concrete, painting, and specialized accessibility installations could find opportunities. Reaching out early before final plans and permits are issued may provide a competitive advantage.
