RE: 186 Circular Street – Two-Story Addition
Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the application for the two-story
addition of the southeast elevation at 186 Circular Street.
This Second Empire style house is a contributing building to the East Side Historic District
listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Foundation appreciates the significant investment the owners have made to restore the
slate roof, cornice, and decorative brackets. The Foundation does not object to the proposed
addition.
The Foundation is pleased that the existing dormer will be salvaged and reinstalled on the
addition. It is also pleased to learn after speaking with the owner that the vertical pitch of
the roof of the proposed addition will be clad with slate that will match the existing roof of
the historic residence.
Typically, the Foundation advocates for the use of wood siding. However, since at some
point the existing historic residence was unfortunately reclad in fiber cement, the
Foundation does not object to its use on the proposed addition.
Sincerely,
Michele Funiciello Samantha Bosshart
President Executive Director
