HomeMy WebLinkAbout20220346 15 Franklin Carriage House Exterior Modifications Narrative April 28, 2022
To whom it may concern,
I am submitting additional information to our DRC application for the Carriage House at 15 Franklin
Street.
I have included a rendering of what the new Carriage house door will be built to look like. It will be
made from wood and painted historic dark green. I have also included several photos of sample doors
for the entry door that will be installed in the recessed entry off Washington Street. The door will be
wood with divided glass on top. It will either be a salvaged historic door(if we can find an appropriate
one or will be a new door). My photos are samples of the direction we would like to go with that door
since we have yet to find the actual door.
We are repairing and replacing in kind the brick exterior. Replacement bricks will be the same texture
and dimension as the existing brick. We will also be repairing and replacing in kind the slate roof. Slate
pieces that need to be replaced will be replaced with slate of the same dimension and material.
Im working on getting a detailed spec sheet for the windows but we are working with Harbrook
windows to purchase 2 over 2 aluminum clad exterior, pine interior. The windows we would use as
replacement windows for the windows we cannot salvaged will be have to meet the approval of NYS
department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Thank you and please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Liz Israel
