RE: 139 Grand Avenue—Exterior Modificallons anr! Garage Constructian
- Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the application for the exterior
alterations and accessory builda�a�canstruction at 139 Grand Avenue.
Board of Directors This Greek Revival style residenee, constructed in 1853, is a contributing building to the
West Side Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Ada�n N.Favro
Presidcnt
The Foundation is pleased that the design for the proposed addition is in-keeping with the
3�m���o�d architectural style of the house. The Foundation also does not have any concerns with the
Vice Presidcnt proposed in-kind replacement of the asphalt roaf. The origina! wir�dows were replaced
Linda Harvey-Opiteck with vinyl one-aver-one windows prior to the current awners purchasing the house.
SecrcCary
Dmicriy Yennoiaye�- The Foundation a�sa appr�ciates that Ehe owners want to rep7ace ti�e inappropriate front
Treasurer door. However, the proposed front door is not in-keepin�with the archit�ctural style of
�tactt�ew ve�c�t, the house. The Foundation recommends a simple four or six panel solid wood door. The
Past Presid�n[ original sidelights and transom should remain. In addition, the porch flc�oring should be
replaced in-kind, matching the existing in design, dimension,texture, detailing, and
Caraline Cardone
Steve�t�odds exterior appearance.

]ulia Dunn The Foundation had difficulty reviewing the proposed garage because no site plan was
Sandra Fox p�Qvided to see t�e placement of the garage in relation to the residence. The Foundation
John Haller
�t�tsr�e� does not object to the construction of a garage, but has concerns about tl�e lack of
°"°��as�e'�` fenestration an the north(left} fa�ade and recommends full-size windows.
