Commission orders repair, allows rear-door replacement at 34 W. Columbus
Summary
The Commission required that the historic front door at 34 West Columbus be retained and repaired where possible, while authorizing replacement of the rear door as proposed.
At its July 27 meeting the Landmarks Commission reviewed CA26025, a relatively brief application to replace the front and rear doors at 34 West Columbus Street. Commissioners noted the front door is protected beneath a porch and appears to be repairable; several members urged salvage or professional refinishing instead of wholesale replacement.
After discussion the commission adopted a conditional approval: the front door should be kept and repaired as needed while the rear door may be replaced as proposed. The motion passed on roll call with unanimous support.
