Board identifies appendices and deeper guidance on paint and masonry
Summary
Members said short A–Z blurbs in the design standards should be expanded and supplemented with appendices on paint breathability, masonry repair and repointing; they discussed using National Park Service preservation briefs as references.
Board members reviewed which technical topics should be expanded in appendices to the design standards: an appendix on paint (breathability, linseed oil vs. latex, and conservator guidance), an appendix on masonry and repointing, and a bibliography/resource appendix. Members agreed some A–Z entries can remain brief while technical guidance should appear in appendices or linked resources.
The board discussed that paint guidance should focus on materials and conservation (not color regulation) and that masonry guidance should cover local stone types and appropriate repair methods. Members suggested relying on established sources such as National Park Service preservation briefs and soliciting examples from the shared drive.
