Tried to check COH permits for this address, but apparently their website has been improved and I can no longer find that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) They're gonna need some major repairs to finish by the summer. This building is in very rough shape. Edited April 4, 2021 by hindesky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 They have made significant progress in the last week, I drive by this quite often, it looked almost like they had abandoned the project just last week. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Well, they've succeeded in making this house substantially uglier. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bare Hardiplank that's primed, but not painted. I doubt they could find enough old style siding to redo the structure, and there may have been fireproofing considerations from the insurance companies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) I'm not just talking about the hardiboard (although the original siding is a basic beveled lap that's easy to find). They replaced original windows with decorative lite patterns with cheap flange-mount vinyl. It's not just that I think the new materials look worse. They went super cheap. Not a great sign.

Although it was is very rough shape, the house had the original windows (both double-hung and decorative), the appropriate siding, and that small bay window. They're the elements that gave the house appeal. As they say, you have only one shot at original. The redeeming quality is that it's scaled to the neighborhood. I don't know what the restrictions would be if had been razed and something else built in its place, but at least one building on Fairview (The Ripcord) has been extensively rebuilt to remain grandfathered in to maintain its footprint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm going to hold off till they finish and it gets painted. The previous restaurant was in horrible shape. I tried it once waited outside on the patio for a menu for 15 minutes, server assisted the only other couple outside and never came back to help me so I left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
