Summary

The commission approved exterior restoration and other work at 41 School Street but required that proposed garage lanterns be electric rather than gas before finalization.

The HDC approved the application for 41 School Street after the project team provided additional elevations and details, including plans to restore chimneys, replace siding in kind and install wood garage doors. The commission commended the updated materials but required that proposed garage lanterns be electric rather than gas, citing earlier discussion about the appropriateness of gas fixtures on a secondary, non‑contributing garage structure.

Commissioners also discussed porch and garage details and asked for documentation to confirm changes. Counsel agreed to submit the supplemental sheets; the commission’s motion incorporated the condition that the lanterns be converted to electric as part of the approval.
