STRUCTURAL CONDITION AND RENOVATION POTENTIAL <br /> Exterior <br /> Roof <br /> The roof was inaccessible, so all roofing observations were made from the ground. <br /> Description: The roof is a pitched slate roof with copper <br /> valleys, ridge caps, scuppers, gutters and downspouts. <br /> The roof shape is formed with two intersecting gables. <br /> w ,' There are two one story sections of the building tucked in <br /> the southeast and northeast corners of the plan. These <br /> sections have a slate hipped roof. The southwest and <br /> F northeast corners of the plan have two story sections with <br /> a low pitched roof surrounded by a ante parapet. <br /> Z�' P P <br /> Condition: The condition of the roofing or flashing could <br /> not be determined. <br /> Recommendation: The roof needs to be closely examined to make sure that all roof conditions <br /> are sound. Due to the lack of proper access, this assessment could not be done at this time. <br /> Water Shedding System <br /> Description: Water is shed off of the building through the pitch of the roofs. The roofs pitch to <br /> gutters and downspouts on the east side of the building, and scuppers and downspouts on the <br /> west side of the building. Water is then brought to the ground through the downspouts. The <br /> gutters on the east side of the building are intergraded into a decorative cornice at the eaves. <br /> These gutters project just slightly beyond the face of the granite. <br /> Condition: Higher areas of the gutters, downspouts, and scuppers were inaccessible. From the <br /> ground, areas of split or deteriorated copper could be seen. There were isolated areas on the <br /> north and south sides where water had leaked above or below the gutter and spilled out on the <br /> stone wall. <br /> Recommendation: The gutters and downspouts that are cracked and leaking should be repaired <br /> or replaced. When replacing the gutters and downspouts, take care to match existing profiles and <br /> sizes of the existing elements. <br /> Exterior Walls <br /> Description: The administration building is clad in gray granite blocks. These blocks vary in size <br /> and shape, and help define some of the unique characteristics of this compact Gothic style <br /> building. At the base of the building, the granite blocks step out to delineate a foundation and <br /> Sunset Memorial Park Administration Building <br /> Preliminary National Register and Condition Assessment—Page 7 <br />
