[MassHistPres] Enviroshake composite roofing

[jworden at swwalaw.com]

Patti,We haven't encountered this in Arlington, but it sounds interesting.  Where wood shakes are appropriate to the house, it seems to me that even a composite version would be much preferable to boring non-original asphalt.As a curious footnote, my Georgian Revival house (1903) originally had wood shakes stained green, which were replaced with slate, presumably by the 2nd owner in or after 1914.John WordenArlington HDC

Hi everyone,
 
The Salem Historical Commission recently received an application to replace a 3-tab asphalt shingle roof with new Enviroshake composite cedar shake roofing. This is the first time that this product has been proposed in the City’s historic
 districts.  I was wondering if other Commissions have reviewed this product in historic districts and, if so, was the material found to be appropriate? 

 
Thank you,
 
Patti
