RE: 184 Phila Street— Exterior Alterations - Revised
Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the revised construction plans for the
addition to 184 Phila Street.
The Foundation feels these revisions are an improvement to the previous design. It
Board of Directors appreciates that the proposed garage addition was moved farther south on the lot, allowing the
one-story bay window to remain visible.

However, the Foundation continues to have concerns about the scale, mass, and architectural
James Gold details of the proposed garage. The Foundation still recommends that the structure be
Vice President separate from the primary structure and that the garage bays face south. The driveway should

Secretary
In regard to the design, the Foundation recommends that the 9' cupola be eliminated or

Gothic architecture of the primary structure.
