RE: 19 George Street – Garage Demolition & New Construction
Dear Tamie:
The Saratoga Springs Preservation Foundation reviewed the revised plans for the
proposed garage at 19 George Street.
The 1893 Queen Anne style residence associated with the existing accessory
structure is a “contributing building” to the East Side Historic District listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
The Foundation appreciates that the applicants addressed the feedback provided
from the Design Review Board and the Foundation regarding the size and
orientation of the garage. However, it remains concerned about the proposed
placement of the new structure. Accessory structures should be sited in a manner
consistent with the location of secondary structures in the surrounding
neighborhood, it should be placed in the northeast corner, close to the property line.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration.
Sincerely,
Michele Funiciello Samantha Bosshart
President Executive Director
