[MassHistPres] Slate Roof Substitution Materials

[Hetty Startup]

There IS a slate substitute material that is available that I imagine comes
in different colors. Finegold Alexander Architects are proposing something
like this for the demolition/addition project specifications for the Jones
Library, in Amherst, MA. There is also a Preservation Brief about suitable
substitute materials.
