Wrought-iron fence, copper downspouts approved at 15 E. Columbus; part of fence uses recycled historic materials
Summary
The Landmarks Commission approved a custom black wrought-iron front-yard fence and installation of previously approved copper downspouts at 15 East Columbus Street, accepting that some fencing material is recycled from historic sources.
The commission approved Certificate of Appropriateness #CA-26-022 for 15 East Columbus Street to install new copper downspouts and a custom black wrought-iron front fence that the applicant said is similar to fencing in Stradley Park and incorporates recycled historic materials. Applicant Richard Stilwell provided a breakdown of materials and said he would build a dry-stacked wall along the sidewalk in front of the fence; staff confirmed the fence meets front-yard code requirements.
A motion by Pete Lynch, seconded by David Craycraft, carried unanimously (Yes:7) to approve the application as presented. Commissioners asked where materials were sourced and the applicant described the recycled components; staff will process the certificate documentation for installation.
