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. Hetty StartupAmherst Historical Commission member

Hello Everyone,

 

I’m the new office assistant for the Waltham Historical Commission. How wonderful to have this network of knowledgeable people to learn from!

 

We have an inquiry from a local church that would like to have the roof replaced. The chairman of our commission would like to know if any other materials besides the original slate would be acceptable for historic restoration. 

 

This is the church:  https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/85/7918/63791885/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/89001548.pdf
