Commission approves sliders and sage-green door at 25 Oxford Street
Summary
The commission approved enclosing a porch with three-panel green sliding windows installed behind existing screens and replacing a steel storm door with a sage-green aluminum-clad door at 25 Oxford Street; commissioners required the work match the colors and details shown in the application.
The Springfield City Historical Commission approved a petition to enclose an existing porch opening with three-panel green sliding windows placed behind the current screens and to replace a steel storm door with a sage-green aluminum-clad three-panel door at 25 Oxford Street.
Staff summarized the application and the petitioner (who provided a residential address on the public record) explained the intent to enclose the porch area without removing the visible screens, so the sliders would be largely concealed from the street. The petitioner said the chosen sage-green color would match existing paint on the house.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the relationship of the new sliders to the screens and whether basement hopper windows would be replaced; staff and the petitioner explained the sliders would sit behind the existing screens and basement windows would be standard white sliders similar to a neighboring property. One commissioner requested that submitted photos be forwarded to a colleague who was participating remotely so they could see the detail.
There were no public objections. After brief discussion a motion to approve the application as presented passed unanimously. Commissioners emphasized that substantial changes from the approved material, color or placement would require returning to the commission.
