From our review of the application and information submitted concerning this project, we offer the following comments: Part 1 - Evaluation of Historic Significance Oakwood was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on 15 November 1979. Since its architectural integrity has not been diminished since that time, all requirements of the Part 1 application are fulfilled. Part 2 - Description of Rehabilitation Combining the information from the application and the architectural drawings, an adequate picture of the proposed rehabilitation is provided. (If there are additional work items not described in either the application or drawings, that information should also be submitted since the tax credit cannot be claimed on any aspect of the rehabilitation not reviewed and approved by the State Historic Preservation Office. Please note that the tax credit cannot be claimed for site work or new additions although those aspects must also meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.) The proposed rehabilitation of Oakwood appears to meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. There are a few areas of minor concern: • The spandrel glass to be installed in the fixed and covered second floor window and french doors should be selected to match the reflective qualities of the adjacent 'vision' glass. • The new casement window on the east elevation, main level, should perhaps be shortened slightly to proportions similar to the second level bathroom casement. Or, given its proposed proportions, it would be more compatible as a double hung window. • The new east window to the family room should be detailed similarly to the historic windows on the south bay. (The proposed use of Itrue' muntins in a wood sash window indicate that this is likely the case.) Board of State History: Marilyn C. Barker • Dale L. Berge • Boyd A. Blackner • Peter L. Goss David D.
