Board tables roof color decision for 208 Sumter pending metal-panel samples
Summary
Discussion of a proposed 26-gauge standing-seam roof for the Elizabeth Arten house at 208 Sumter was tabled; the board requested physical metal-panel samples in matte black, musket gray and Hartford green for review at a later meeting.
The Board of Architectural Review tabled a request to approve a new metal roof on the Elizabeth Arten house at 208 Sumter until physical panel samples and specific color references are provided.
A presenter (S10) described a proposed replacement roof as 26-gauge, 1" standing-seam panels, 16" wide, and offered color options including musket (musket gray), Hartford green, slate gray and matte black. Several board members said the historically appropriate finish (a dark Charleston green in older photos) should be examined in hand samples before a vote.
Committee members asked to see actual metal panels and samples from the manufacturer (Drexel and other suppliers were discussed) and to compare how the colors weather. The presenter agreed to bring flat panel samples showing the darkest green, musket gray and matte black to the August meeting. A motion to table the item until the samples are available was moved, seconded and approved.
The board noted the house's historic prominence and asked staff to schedule the sample review at the next meeting; no final color or material approval was granted at this session.
