Case # 2002-050 Kurt
E. Raber of Brown Lindquist Fenuccio & Richmond Architects, Inc.
representing Provincetown Theater Foundation, Inc., 238 Bradford Street, [Map/Parcel 15-2-022; MHC #504; Historic Name: Automotive Garage;
Date: 1900; c 1960; Style: Victorian frame: extensive alterations] Old Bradford Street Motor
Garage is being revitalized into a New Performing Arts Center. Alterations include replacement of all doors
and windows, new siding, new entry gable and new marquis.
Philip Lindquist of Brown Lindquist Fenuccio &
Richmond Architects also appeared to present this case.
Ardis Markarian excused herself from hearing and
voting on this issue because of a conflict of interests.
Kurt Raber explained, using a model and samples of
building materials, the new design for the theater. Roger Keene asked about the
front overhang. Mr. Raber explained that it was put on to give the building
more character than just a plain front.
Alix Ritchie, a member of the audience, wanted to
show what they were doing and explained how excited all the theater members
were regarding this new “home.”
Gino Verzone thought that the building materials
shown were good, but concerned about the
street facade. He would like to
see the design reflect the utilitarian character of the original barn and offered
that such an approach would be more appropriate for a summer stock theater. He
stated that the Commission could either vote yes or no on the plans as
presented or work with the applicants to adjust the design to address
commissioners concerns. The applicants
expressed interest in hearing the Commission's suggestions.
The Commission spent some time making modifications
onto one of the submitted drawings. It
was moved to accept the design with changes.
The architects will submit new drawings reflecting the alterations
before a building permit is issued.
Lawrence Riley voted instead of Ardis Markarian.
