Siding replacement & paint scheme up for review — NE Corner East St and East State St

Reviewed Jun 8 · outcome not yet confirmed

Every project links to the city packet it came from.

The Architectural Review Board approved the replacement of wooden siding with in-kind materials and a paint color change from red to white trim for the Old Blacksmith Barn. The work on the north elevation is already completed, following earlier work on the west side.

What happened

The Architectural Review Board approved the siding replacement and exterior paint color change for the Old Blacksmith Barn, with work having been substantially completed prior to the approval. This was an after-the-fact approval for the paint scheme.

Why it matters

While the work is largely completed, this signals that the owner, James Hess, is undertaking property improvements. Future projects may arise, or there could be a need for maintenance from contractors who understand historic district requirements.

Timing

The project was completed in early May. This approval legitimizes the work performed. No immediate new construction is indicated, but the owner is active in property improvements.
