Santa Fe Restoration

Posted on October 11, 2011 by Bradley Gummersall

The East Side of Santa Fe holds some of the oldest residences in town, many dating back to the 19th century. The Santa Fe Historic Preservation Division is the governing body charged with preserving the historic and archaeological districts of the city. For residential projects an essential piece of the permit is submitted and reviewed by the Historic Design Review Board.

This Santa Fe adobe is a mere 63 years old and built after WWII, but it’s renovation and restoration are still important to preserving the historic nature of the neighborhood. In submitting this project for permit all aspects of the exterior facade including windows, doors, portals, stucco color, set backs and overall heights are considered as well as any new structures, fencing or other site improvements.

A good part of the spirit and charm of Santa Fe is found in its architecture and proper restoration of this heritage is vital to preserving the unique character of the City Different.

In this shot the interior concrete is troweled to a slick finish while the exterior floor in the foreground is slightly brushed for safety in wet conditions.
