Final Elev Front Rev 4-29-26.pdf;
Hi Julia –
Thank you for reaching out.
The color rendering is correct in that there will be horizontal siding on the entire lower floor.
The entry way and the upper gables will now be LP Smart Side Board & Batten.
The Owner has also requested to use Andersen A Series windows (which the DRB approved for the
adjacent property at 77 South Franklin).
The Owner has also requested a single mullion in the top sash of the DH windows.
I will follow up with the material specs.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or if the DRB has any issues that arise during their
workshop.
Thanks so much.

Hey Tonya,
I'm reviewing this and do have a quick question - the latest elevation shows vertical siding on
the front - on the second-floor gable and on the first floor, horizontal siding between the gables
and on the garage. Horizontal siding on all of the other elevations. But the rendering has
horizontal siding on part of the first floor of the front.
Please confirm which is correct so I can let the Board know during the workshop.
Thank you,
