Commission endorses Randolph Macon historic-district nomination; tables two absent applicants' window requests

At the end of its agenda the Historic Preservation Commission considered non-application items and old business.

The commission reviewed a nomination from Randolph Macon for state and national historic-district listing and voted to endorse the National Register nomination. Commissioners spoke in favor and moved to recommend the nomination to the relevant registers.

Two applicants who were not present — Harold and Sharon Wheeler (request to replace numerous Rivermont windows) and Teresa White (request to replace a window at 211 F Street) — had their items tabled until they can appear or provide additional information. Commissioners noted the Wheeler application includes an energy-usage argument for replacement and that further review with architects and applicants in attendance would be appropriate.

With those actions complete, the commission adjourned.
