Commission approves restoration of arch-top windows at 120 Watson
Summary
The commission approved a restoration plan at 120 Watson to rebuild arch-top windows and related masonry work; members emphasized structural integrity and discussed inspector review and energy efficiency.
The commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for work at 120 Watson to restore arch-top windows and address related façade issues. Members discussed structural concerns, the building's condition and whether building-inspector review should precede final recommendation.
During discussion one member noted that if an arch top window is deteriorated and causing facade damage, it should be prioritized for repair. Another member disclosed they would abstain from the vote because they are assisting with window templates on that project. A motion to approve the restoration was made, seconded and carried by the commission.
Staff reiterated that building-inspector review typically checks compliance with city codes when a building permit accompanies the work; the historic-preservation review focuses on recommended guidelines to preserve arch-top features. The commission encouraged applicants to coordinate with inspectors as projects move forward.
