ROOF RECOMMENDATIONS
The houses in the Edgewood-Park City Historic District may have been roofed with slate, tile, wood shingles, metal, or with asphalt shingles, sometimes cut in over-size, shaped patterns. The modern building materials that are available may limit a property owner's access to roofing materials, but it is important that owners try to repair or reuse such materials as slate and tile when they are available. Printed and sculptured fiberglass shingles can also be used to duplicate the look of original roofs. If replacement materials are not available or are prohibitively expensive, intact historic roofing materials should be used on the visible elevations, with replacement materials used at the rear or on a less visible section of the roof. Materials such as corrugated fiberglass and asphalt roll roofing are often unacceptable. Although the historic zoning commission does not regulate colors, it is suggested that roof colors, which will be visible for the lifetime of the roof, be dark in color to mimic the roof colors that were present when the buildings were new.

4. Materials used in roofing existing buildings or new construction shall duplicate the original roofing materials as much as possible. Asphalt or fiberglass shingles can be appropriate, as are slate, standing seam metal, or metal or wood shingle roof coverings. The color of roofing materials should be a dark green, charcoal gray or black or dark reddish brown, to simulate the original roof colors
