Commission approves paint and storefront trim changes for museum at 121 S. 9th Street
Summary
The commission approved a request to paint and trim the entry section of the museum storefront at 121 S. 9th Street to create a consistent appearance; staff noted the storefront brick appears non-original and recommended approval with matching planters and a light sepia-brown color.
The Opelika Historic Preservation Commission approved a request from the museum at 121 South 9th Street to paint and trim the entry section, add a wood door at a small side entrance, and apply wood trim over silver framing for a consistent storefront appearance.
Staff said the storefront brick appears to be a later addition (circa 1980) and recommended approval to paint that non-original brick so the façade will match the adjacent building. Staff provided a rendering and said the final color would be a light sepia brown (not the white in the rendering) that ties into a nearby mural. Staff also said matching planters will be used and awnings on the building will be retained.
A commissioner asked whether the small section near a flower pot would be included; staff confirmed that area will be painted. A motion to approve the paint and trim changes, with matching planters, was made, seconded and carried.
Next steps: Staff will note the color and planter details in the project record and the applicant may proceed with the approved paint and trim plan.
