Historic Preservation Board -- 11.05.2026

The Town of Penfield Historic Preservation Board met on November 5, 2026, and approved the prior meeting minutes. The board reviewed an application for work on the porch at 1886 Penfield Road, including replacing deteriorated wood flooring, supports, and a column, and installing square wood posts and railings. The homeowner said the proposal would retain the existing lattice, paint color, brick footers, roof, and ceiling. Board members discussed the historical fit and proportions of square versus round columns and the structural requirements for the replacements.

The board unanimously approved the application, with the condition that column sizing and structural adequacy be addressed through the building-permit review, including engineering signoff if required. No government contract awards, purchasing decisions, budget allocations, or other procurement activity were identified.
