OTHER BUSINESS
1. Staff suggested draft language for a replacement windows policy with the Board. The Board endorsed the proposed language but asked that owners of Early buildings be allowed to "replicate" rather than restore historic windows where the originals were demonstrated to be beyond repair. Staff also confirmed that, as previously discussed with replacement roof materials, there would be a provision in the administrative approval policy where, when staff believes the material proposed by the applicant is not compatible or historically appropriate, review by the Board is required.
2. Dr. Fitzgerald noted the 52nd annual Alexandria Forum would be held September 24 - 25 at the Lyceum with The Reverend Professor Peter J. Gomes of Harvard University as its featured speaker during two days of lectures and workshops exploring the theme of “Coveting, Curating and Collections: The Art of the Public and Personal Museum.”. Chairman Hulfish urged all to attend this event.
