Shall the Mill be equipped with a complete heating and air conditioning system? 9. Shall a truthful re-doing of the Chase home one block to north be added as a part of the restoration work? These decision items should be aided by several alternative sketches by the architect to show the visual pos~ibilities of the various alternatives. These drawings would include some birdseye views of the area in very schematic form. Approval of one of the alternatives would complete Phase 3. PHASE 4: Restoration Drawings The architect shall prepare restoration drawings including shop drawings of working mill parts and other detail features, and specifications to govern historic craftsmanship in all aspects of the reconstruction, and shall include all necessary accommodation to modern needs such as visitor pedestrian and traffic flow, heating, cooling, fire control, security features, etc. working these in as discreetly as possible in the historic fabric of the building. PHASE 5: Construction This phase would be closely inspected and supervised by the architect to assure conformity to pioneer craftsmanship and to the contract documents. Furnishings and decoration should be worked out by an experienced historic restoration decorator who would acquire and arrange antique pieces of furniture, tools, etc. or accurate reproductions of these to complete the restored interiors. This decorator should work as a consultant to the architect,and time the acquisitions to be ready and installed as soon as construction is finished. ~gp~~ GPM/mw |
