Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation has reviewed the application for the roof
modifications at 157 Circular Street.

Side Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The project proposes to replace the roof in-kind and remove the rear west chimney. The
James Gold steeply pitched irregular roof with decorative slate color and pattern are identifying features
Vice President of the Queen Anne architectural style and character-defining features of this house. The

Dmitriy Yermolayev decorative pattern will be retained.
