HARB approves door, marble stoop repair and window inserts for 60–62 E. Court Street with conditions

At the July 23 HARB meeting, Mr. John McShea of Eastburn and Gray presented a set of exterior repairs and replacements for 60–62 E. Court Street. The proposal calls for an in-kind front-door replacement at 60 E. Court, complete replacement of stoop treads and risers in marble, and repair and insertion of new windows into existing openings at 62 E. Court.

The minutes state that “the stoop, including the treads and risers, will be replaced entirely with new marble.” The board recommended approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness with conditions: the stoop pieces must match the existing thickness and nosing detail (with a preference for repair rather than replacement), and the hardware on the existing door should be reused on the proposed front door (motion Fey; second Happ). The applicant asked for permission to replace other windows not included in the submission with similar units without returning to HARB; the minutes record the request but do not note the board’s decision on that follow-up permission.

The record does not list permit numbers or construction dates; further building or zoning approvals were not documented in the meeting minutes.
