SUBJECT: PROPOSED FACADE TREATMENT OF THE PAREDES/DODGE HOUSE



The front facade of the Paredes/Dodge House is in need of

restoration and rehabilitation. The entire house is in need of

an extensive restoration, but because of the lack of funds I

propose the following front facade work as a minimum:



1. Re-patch pitted coquina with a soft historic lime based white

stucco. (re-stucco entire facade?)

2. Remove inappropriate later addition flower boxes.

3. Remove inappropriate iron grillwork from first story windows.

4. Repair rotted sills, jambs and other deteriorated woodwork.

5. Repaint entire front facade San Augustin White*.

6. Repaint all exterior front facade trim Paredes House Grey*.

This color was discovered on the trim on this building and dated

to colonial times.

7. Repaint Zocalo either Fatio House Red or King's Bakery Black.

We might want to eliminate the Zocalo altogether for we don't

have historic evidence that the house had a Zocalo. I think that

if we decide to have a Zocalo on the house that it should be

King's Bakery Black because that is the only documented Zocalo

color yet found in St. Augustine and I think it would match well

with the grey trim.
