Commission approves rear-door replacement, orders repair of original front door at 34 West Columbus Street
Summary
The commission voted to preserve and repair an original front door at 34 West Columbus and allowed replacement of the rear door as proposed; commissioners recommended restoration resources where possible.
The Landmarks Commission reviewed CA26025, a relatively brief request to replace the front and rear doors at a residence on West Columbus. Commissioners examined photos and noted the existing front door's historic detailing and that it is protected by a porch.
After a short discussion about restoration options and local resources for refinishing historic doors, the commission moved to approve the application with a condition that the front door be retained and repaired; the rear door may be replaced per the applicant's plans. Commissioner comments suggested vendors and resources for refinishing if the applicant pursued restoration rather than replacement.
