FRIENDS' Testimony:
FRIENDS’ Preservation Committee finds this application appropriate. It is a minimally visible alteration to a secondary elevation. To ensure a visually cohesive outcome, however, especially as the entrance is partially visible from the street level, we ask the applicants to consider lengthening the existing limestone molding (for the former window) to match the proposed door frame.
