4 L A Z Y F R A N C H Historic Structures Report

Windows – Secondary Significant

• Restore the wood windows with a small paned window similar to one sash of the Three-

Bay Garage windows.

• The wood jamb, head, sill and trim should be treated with FPL.

Roof – Secondary Significant

• The board-on-board roof needs to be rebuilt in-kind. The roof is especially bad on the west side and many of the boards will have to be replaced. Also, the tree next to the building should be trimmed as necessary to keep branches from falling or rubbing on the roof.

Interior Features Walls – Secondary Significant

• Provide FPL treatment on the logs.

• Replace daubing in-kind throughout the log walls.

Windows – Secondary Significant

• Restore wood window and finish with an FPL treatment.

Ceiling – Secondary Significant

• Wood should be treated with an FPL treatment.

Exterior Features

Foundation – Secondary Significant

• Maintain the concrete slab and pier foundation. Replace the deteriorated concrete piers in-kind on the east side of the building. The piers should support the areas on each side of the door openings to maintain structural integrity.

• Reestablish the historic grade around the foundation, especially on the east and west sides, to provide positive drainage away from the building. The corral area will have to be graded not only for drainage but to keep from undermining the piers on the east side.

Walls – Primary Significant

• Replace rotted sill logs and wall logs in-kind on the east and west sides of the building.

• Provide FPL treatment on the logs.

• Replace daubing in-kind throughout the log walls.

• The board and batten siding in the gambrel ends should be repaired or replaced where necessary. The paint should be scraped and the wood primed and painted.

Windows – Primary Significant

• Restore wood windows by cleaning, repairing or replacing wood members as necessary, re-glazing, and finishing with a FPL treatment or paint as appropriate.

Doors – Primary Significant

• Rebuild all doors in-kind, replacing rotted materials, reattaching hardware, and treat with an FPL treatment.

Roof – Primary Significant

• The board and batten gambrel roof is in poor condition and needs to be repaired or replaced with a board and batten roof in-kind. The wood truss of the gambrel roof will also have to be repaired. The wood ladders should remain as part of the design.

• A temporary solution would be to cover the roof with a membrane or at least covered with the green sheet asphalt roofing that would last for a while until the board and batten roof can be re-built.

• The shed roof over the east wing needs to have the structure re-built in-kind and the green sheet asphalt roofing replaced. This needs to be accomplished as soon as possible to prevent further damage from winter snow loads.

Interior Features

Walls – Primary Significant (original) -- Non-Contributing (plywood)

• The walls of the interior need to be maintained and the walls that have been removed should be replaced especially around the stalls to give stability to the wings including the roofs.

• Temporary supports should still be used until the use is determined for the building and what will be replaced as walls.

• Depending on the use of the middle section the framed building with plywood walls and ceiling should be maintained. If it is determined to return it to a barn with a hay loft the structure should be removed and the log floor joists and wood floor for the loft should be replaced. It is unlikely that it would proceed to that point though.

Windows – Primary Significant

• Maintain and repair as necessary with the outside work.

Doors – Primary Significant

• Maintain and repair as necessary with the outside work.

Floors – Secondary Significant

• Replace rotted wood plank flooring in-kind and maintain all other wood floors.

• The hay and dirt should be cleaned out of the spaces to keep the wood from rotting and allow the wood to dry out.

Ceiling – Secondary Significant

• Maintain and repair as necessary as part of the roof and structural work.

Electrical – Non-Contributing

• Provide new electrical service to the building and prepare a new electrical plan for the building depending on the use. This would include lighting and outlets. The space would not be heated unless a totally new use was determined that would require heat. Electric baseboard heat would be possible.

HS – 414 Tack Room

Exterior Features

Foundation – Secondary Significant

• Maintain the concrete and stone pier foundation

• Reestablish the historic grade, especially on the east side, in order to provide for positive drainage away from the building. The corral area will have to be graded not only for drainage but to keep from undermining the piers on the north side.

Walls – Primary Significant

• Replace rotted sill logs in-kind on the east side of the building.

• Provide FPL treatment on the logs.

• Replace daubing in-kind as necessary in the areas of log replacement and missing areas.

• The log frame area also has a rotted base in the sill log and the base of the wood siding.

The wood is weathered and worn and requires replacement in-kind in damaged areas and treated with an FPL treatment also.

• Move the material storage away from the walls on the east side.
