Document Description
Install hand railings and rebuild one non-historic stair landing to improve accessibility into and around the historic Scripps and Lodge buildings, two of Architect Julie Morgan's buildings at Asilomar State Beach and Conference Grounds which contribute to the site's National Historic Landmark designation. The stairs and paths around the exterior of the buildings have been the location of many trips and falls as well as ADA complaint letters. No structural changes are proposed for either building. One non-historic stair landing will be rebuildt to give additional support for the handrails. Four, 18" holes will be dug under the landing to install backing, and the decking will be replaced. The hand railings near the buildings will be of the same bronze material, shape and size as the railings used at Engineer's Cottage, another Morgan building at Asilomar. Construction will require core drill holes through existing concrete and asphalt. Contractor will remove, cut and re-install Carmel Stone around handrail stanchions at stone areas.
