Title

Palmer House Renovation Project; Design Review (DR 2010-01)

Description

Mr. Fiddaman and Ms. Hoffman purchased the Palmer house in mid-2009 with the idea of preserving this important building for future generations to enjoy, They consider themselves caretakers of an important piece of Calistoga history. As such, it is their intent to restore/renovate the Palmer house to its former status as a high quality residence. Although the house is in relatively good condition for its age, it has been neglected for the past several years and need extensive repairs and maintenance. Preservation efforts will be guided by the Secretary of interior's standards for historical buildings. While some nominal changes (almost all of the interior) will be made to the house to accomplish usability in today's living context, these changes will only be to the rear part of the exterior of the building and affect only previous updates that have occurred in the last 15 years. It is the overall intent to preserve the house (and its earliest "turn of the century" additions) in its original form to the greatest extent possible.
