[MassHistPres] Stucco coatings

[Dareedxx at aol.com]

The Shirley Historical Commission is looking for technical advice on  
coatings that might be used on an 85 year old (rough stucco) building surface in  
our Shirley Center Local Historic District.

The building in question is  the former,' Center School', a small, (mildly) 
neo-gothic elementary school  which is now being adaptively re-used by the 
Shirley Council On Aging, to serve  as a Senior Center.  Over time, cracks, 
patches of spalling stucco, and  fenestration changes have been repaired 
with less than total success.  The  Commission is being asked to permit 
'painting', in order to unify the visual  appearance of the building.

We are holding the Application for COA  pending a technical review of 
appropriate coatings (stains etc.) which might be  used.  We would appreciate any 
advice from MassHistPres on the  problem.  Thanks.

Don Reed, Chair
Shirley Historical  Commission
