Notes from phone discussion:
Two Key Things
*Most viewed facade is the main determinant in whether things are possible or not*
What this means is that the front facade should not have significant changes otherwise
most likely it will not meet the standards at the State and National levels.
Any addition has to be easily removable and if removed will not damage the building,
REVERSIBLE.
All new additions to the structure have to meet the Secretary of Interior Standards Section 106
this is all within the National Park Service department, this is on the National Level. On the state
level they have to meet Section 22 V.S.A. Chapter 14. National Level though always takes
priority.
Within Section 106 there are four separate categories in which your project can fit. They are
listed on the website but the one most fitting for the Johnson House is Rehabilitation - Adaptive
Reuse.
The Johnson House is actually already an example of this, initially it was intended for a
primary residence but now it is used as an academic building.
My questions were in regards to specific things that came up in the meeting with Taylor that I
thought James would be able to answer.
Gutters - Yes we can have them. They have to be period appropriate but also people should be
able to distinguish them as something that was not there 200 years ago. They also have to be
easy to remove without damaging the building. Example of a possible gutter would be Copper
Half-round gutters.
Green roof is maybe doable as long as it is not on a primary roof.
Alteration of Grounds - It is specific to the design there are no general standards to follow, he
also said it is somewhat lenient. What we need to avoid is a design that does not affect the
historic feeling and does not block the most viewed facade.
Solar Power - There is a solar incentive, state funding.
Roof mounts: flush mounted, maintain same angle of roof, cannot be on the primary
front facing roof
Ground mounts: Archeology graduate program, ARA can help analyze the grounds as if
we were to put supports in the ground, the ground has to be inspected to make sure we are not
ruining a future archaeological site. Once again cannot disturb most viewed facade view.
Windows - Repair over replacing. Old windows someone local can fix versus with new windows
it is more technical. In the case of the Johnson house the only reason for new windows would
be if repairing and maintaining an original window would be expensive over time. A new window
would also have to comply with the original window facade. To improve efficiency of old
windows you can add storm windows which can be approved under Section 106. Allied Storm
Windows Inc. makes storms windows that meet the National Park Service requirements.

Efficiency - Work in the attic and ground floor, walls are harder to work in as you would have to
do heavy surgery on the building itself, walls also do not provide as much gain.
Dense pack cellulose over blown cellulose as blown leaves residue, tying back into an
addition being REVERSIBLE.
