Cole-Poe Proposed Design - Phase II (Lisa Morris)
Debbie requested permission to move Liza Morris of Cole-Poe with her Phase
II presentation to the top of the agenda. Liza distributed copies of the drawing
of the Train Depot with Option 1 and Option 2. She stated that she had met with
ITD and the State Historical Preservation Office and proposed some alternate ideas
of shifting funds from one minor cost project to another. The single entry door
to the Depot under Option 2 would re-introduce a pair of double doors that
would be more in line with authenticity of the structure. Liza stated that it would
� allow for better egress out of the building. She also proposed double doors in the
back of the depot by the train tracks as the plywood will weather and the painting
will not last. The Caldwell sign will be visible at both the east and west ends of
the depot. The exterior currently includes a metal ridge cap and finials on the
roo£ Also included in the budget are eight new light fixtures for the Interpretive
Center that will produce a high out put of lighting in the ceiling. These will be of a
museum quality and have directional lens that are moveable within the fixture.
The committee wants to stay with the existing doors for the present time as well
as a stand alone ticket counter that does not go to the ceiling. It was agreed
that we are interested in maintaining the historical aspects of the depot first and the
event center second. Lisa will inquire and get back to us with more particulars as
to whether our option choices will be acceptable.
