N, . <br />Lincoln Johnson <br />June 7, 2004 <br />Page 2 <br />The guttering and downspouts will require Commission approval at the June 21 meeting. <br />We see no evidence of original gutters or downspouts on this carnage house. However, that may <br />simply be because they were removed too long ago for the marks to remain. Your contractors <br />concern regarding water damage to the foundation and to the siding, especially along the bell -curve <br />of the upper story, are significant concerns. We note that the main house has two different types of <br />gutters: half -round, painted to accent the soffit lines, on the upper story, and more modern looking <br />ogee on the sides of the porch roof. Ogee -shaped gutters were originally designed to mimic the look <br />of carved wooden cornice molding. In contemporary use, it rarely has the scale and weight to do that <br />effectively., and, given the unique shape of your eaves, probably would not do so effectively on your <br />roof. <br />Therefore, staff will recommend to you and to the Commission that the Commission approve <br />the use of aluminum half -round gutters, and coordinating downspouts, on your carriage house. They <br />are available in a variety of factory -finished paint colors, or you may paint them a color of your <br />choice. <br />I expect the Commission to be absolutely overjoyed that this beautiful and interesting <br />structure, the condition of which has been a worry to them for so long, is at last receiving the tender <br />loving care which it deserves. <br />Yours, <br />Karen R. Hammond -Nash, Director <br />
