New Business 1005 East Main Street, James and Pamela Hale – Requesting to replace the front door at the front of their residence This property is located on the north side of East Main Street between Cherry Lane and Park Circle. The house was constructed circa 1970 in the Modern Colonial Revival style of architecture with a central chimney, gable roof, brick veneer, and 2 stories. The house is a non- contributing structure of the East Main Street Historic District of the National Register of Historic Places. The applicants would like to continue renovating their home by replacing the front door of their house. The current front door is metal. The replacement door will be a six (6) panel wood door with clear glass in the six (6) panels and no new transom. Included in the agenda materials are photographs of the proposed front door, one standing alone and the other door superimposed onto the existing front entry of the house.

Also included in your agenda materials is Preservation Brief 16: The Use of Substitute Materials on Historic Building Exteriors.
