RE: 172 Circular Street—Roof Replacement
Dear Tamie:
•
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation has reviewed the application for roof
replacement at 172 Circular Street.
Board of Directors The Craftsman style house, built e. 1923, is a contributing building to the East Side
Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This property displays
Adam N.Favro the characteristics of the Craftsman architectural style including a low-pitched gabled

roof,unenclosed eave overhangs, exposed roof rafters,tapered square stone columns,
James Gold full-width front porch, and wood shingle wall cladding. This house was built in 1914 by
Vice President Robert Clark, Vice President of Clark Textiles, a year after his brother, Alfred Clark,
Linda Harvey-Opiteck Treasurer of Clark Textiles,built his house at 29 Fifth Avenue.
Secretary
Dmitriy Yermolayev Photographs shows that the house historically had a combination grey slate and red
Treasurer standing seam metal roof(see enclosed photos). The standing seam roof was above the
porch roof/below the dormer. Due to the similar age and architectural style of 29 Fifth
Jaime Butler-Birley
Caroline Cardone Avenue as well as the family connection, most likely the color of the slate of 172 Circular
Giovanna D'Orazio Street was similar.

Lizrh Foundation is disappointed that the owner is no longer proposing to restore the slate roof.
