Boulder Historic Places Plan

Structures Contributing structures include the Glen Huntington Bandshell and amphitheater seating. • Protect and preserve contributing structures - Bandshell and amphitheater seating - in their original locations. • Preserve and repair extant structural features in-place including the foundations & framing. ○ Foundations and Wall Framing - Remove vegetation on and directly adjacent to the building; Stitch crack in interior foundation with helibars. Fill crack with grout. Rout & seal minor cracks with a compatible epoxy. ○ Roof Framing - Remove and replace deteriorated framing or sheathing in-kind; Create weep holes in the steel saddle base plates at the bases of the roof arches to allow any water to drain. If small areas of deterioration are found in the wood arches, remove the deteriorated material and fill with epoxy. If the deterioration is widespread, remove the deteriorated material and replace in-kind. ○ Floor Framing - Since the flooring will be removed (per architectural recommendations) and it is glued to the subfloor, remove the subfloor and replace with marine-grade plywood sheathing. ○ Seating - At concrete pedestals, remove spalled concrete, remove any rust from reinforcing with wire brush and coat with a low VOC galvanizing paint, and patch with repair mortar; replace deteriorated wood benches in-kind. • Repair and refinish extant architectural features to match in-kind including the existing plaster, wood plank siding, epoxy stage flooring, and painted surfaces. ○ Consider conducting a paint analysis to inform original color schemes to use when repainting architectural features of the bandshell and amphitheater. • Replace plywood panels in-kind and finish with paint to match original color scheme. Then apply a marine grade varnish. • Rewire bollards for power and provide compatible metal cover plates. • Provide architectural and security lighting at the Bandshell and amphitheater. ○ Design lighting to illuminate specific architectural features, ensuring the lighting compliments and does not detract from the building or site. ○ Design lighting to be unobtrusive and minimize attachment of ancillary lighting equipment to historic materials. ○ Provide appropriate lighting levels for safety and security. • Any new structures to accommodate programming, use and health and safety within Glen Huntington Bandshell’s site would be reviewed by the Boulder Landmarks Board in accordance with Chapter 9-11 (Historic Preservation) of the Boulder Revised Municipal Code, and the General Guidelines for Historic Districts and Individual Landmarks. • Consider reusing existing sites where non-contributing structures are located, and as improvements, prior to installations in new locations. ○ Such new structures could include, but are not limited to accessible restrooms, a green room, and storage structure. • Allow new objects such as public art, where appropriate, ensuring that they do not detract from the overall character of the Glen Huntington Bandshell and site.
