PROPOSED REVISION OF GARAGE ADDITION AUGUST 15, 2019
August 15, 2019
Dear Neighbors,
As a continuation of our request for concept approval by the Old Georgetown Board for additions and renovations to the Garage and Mower House at Tudor Place, we have submitted a revision to the design for the Garage addition. In response to concerns from neighbors and recommendations from the Old Georgetown Board, the revised design reduces the length of the addition 11’ (from 75’ to 64’).
The submission will be reviewed by the Old Georgetown Board at their meeting on September 5. Materials submitted to the Old Georgetown Board have been posted on the Tudor Place website at www.tudorplace.org/about-us/for-neighbors. For information about the review process, please visit www.cfa.gov/project-review/old-georgetown.
Thank you for your interest in this project and the programs of Tudor Place.
Sincerely,
Mark S. Hudson
Executive Director

Dear Neighbors:
Last month the Old Georgetown Board reviewed our concept design for additions to the Garage and Mower House at Tudor Place. During the hearing, Commissioners discussed the location of the Garage elevator and had questions about the requirements for the archival and collections management facility. We have submitted a response to these questions and concerns for consideration at their July 3 meeting.
Our thanks are extended to those of you who provided comments to the Old Georgetown Board, either in person or in writing. We recognize that activities at our site have an impact upon your lives and appreciate your input. Our submission also includes a response to comments regarding our management of the west side of the property.

Dear Neighbors:
In accordance with Old Georgetown Board requirements, and as part of our ongoing efforts to keep our neighbors informed of activities at Tudor Place, we would like to notify you of a submission we have made to the OGB for review of the following project:
Garage and Mower House Additions/Renovations
Consistent with the Master Preservation Plan that received concept approval from the Old Georgetown Board in 2012, we are proceeding with designs for the renovation and expansion of the Garage and the expansion of the Mower House.
Renovation within the Garage will include: partition relocation to accommodate offices on the second floor; mechanical, electrical, and fire protection modifications; accessibility upgrades; installation of a stretcher-compliant elevator; development of an improved classroom space; and the creation of an exhibition gallery. The addition portion includes an archive and collection storage facility with high-density movable storage and advanced environmental controls, workspace for grounds staff, and a prefabricated production greenhouse.
Site work around the Garage includes the installation of geothermal wells at the building perimeter; regrading and repaving of the pebble dash drive to meet accessibility requirements at building entry doors; installation of a new access hatch at the utility tunnel entrance; and rework of utilities as required, including stormwater routing to new underground cisterns under the South Lawn.
At the Mower House, a new emergency generator will be enclosed within a complementary addition to the existing building. The addition will be stucco on a base of pebble dash with a new chimney to enclose the generator’s exhaust flue.
These designs are going before the Old Georgetown Board for concept approval on May 2, 2019. The designs and other materials submitted for review can be found on the Neighbors Page of our website at www.tudorplace.org/about-us/for-neighbors.
As always, we welcome your questions, concerns, and ideas. If you would like a tour of the site to learn more about these and other activities at Tudor Place, please let me know. Please also visit the Old Georgetown Board website to learn more about the review process and the opportunities you have to share your views about these projects: www.cfa.gov/project-review/old-georgetown.
