My apologies for the delay in responding to your application. From our review, we offer the following comments: Part 1 - Evaluation of Historic Significance While the Taylor House is not listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it is eligible and will likely be listed if nominated. While all requirements of the Part 1 tax credit application are fulfilled, you will need to submit a complete National Register nomination before we can approve the completed rehabilitation work (the Part 3 application). We will be pleased to continue working with you or your consultant on this aspect of the project. Part 2 - Description of Rehabilitation The proposed!completed rehabilitation work appears to meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and is approved. When working on the plastered and painted brick, grind carefully so as to not damage the historic brick if possible. After it is repainted, you might want to try carefully painting some random, individual bricks a slightly darker color (or perhaps two or three darker shades) and lightly painting the mortar joints. I . would suggest testing this technique on a less-visible part of the porch to see if it will successfully blend in this painted brick. We commend you for the careful, high-quality work completed to date. If there are additional work items not described in the application that information must also be submitted. Please note: If the scope of work changes (e.g., substitutions are made for specifically approved products or systems such as replacement windows; additional demolition or re-construction is required; or proposed repairs, features or elements are deleted or expanded) that information must be submitted for review as quickly as possible since all aspects of the rehabilitation must be pre-approved by the State Historic Preservation Office.
