Design board approves Freakin' Grama storefront changes including signage and doors
Summary
The Amherst Historic Downtown Design Review Board approved windows, doors and signage for Freakin' Grama at 103 Milan Avenue, including a replica barber pole and metal panel signs, with members recommending durable finishes and thermally broken glass.
The Historic Downtown Design Review Board on April 16 approved proposed storefront changes for Freakin' Grama, 103 Milan Avenue, after a presentation by property representative Paul Byers. Byers described plans for a replica barber pole, slim metal panel signs, and changes to the storefront doors and sidelights to improve light and access; the board discussed mountings, finish options, and door materials before voting.
Byers described the signage as historically influenced and modest in scale: "The sign a is nothing but a barber barber pole electric," he said, noting the replica was intended to replace historically removed features. Board members recommended anodized/bronze storefront finishes and thermally broken insulated glass for durability. A motion to approve the application as submitted was made, seconded, and the board voted to approve the proposal unanimously.
