Coast Foon fences
Part of a series contributed by the Marietta Restoration Associates
Along with learning to
look at and appreciate
ornate Victorian architec-
ture, (see column in
January 29th issue Susque-
hana Times) one should not
neglect observing and
admiring some of the
beautiful cast iron fences
and grillework which em-
bellish some of the local
premises. During the boom
in the Industrial Revolution
which followed the Civil
War, production of molded
cast iron replaced expen-
sive hand wrought iron
which has been hand-work-
ed by a blacksmith. The
white picket fences which
were so typical of the
mid-nineteenth century
were gradually replaced in
many cases by decorative
cast ron ones. Like those
they replaced, cast iron
fences were usually about
three feet high. The tops of
the iron pickets were
frequently in the form of
iron crosses or spear heads
and reflected the Gothic
revival aspects of Victorian
architecture such as was
seen in the sawn wood trim
on the gables of the homes.
gables of the homes.
LY \
Scrolls and floral motifs are
often seen on the gates and
the heavier more elaborate
corner posts. Their value
for keeping out intruders
was, however, question-
able.
Some homes had porches
of grapevine on intricate
trellis designs. Our area is
fortunate in that quite a
number of examples of this
decorative ornamentation
have been preserved. Some
of these fences and grilles
were undoubtedly fabricat-
ed in local foundries. In
1890, a typical three-foot
high cast iron fence sold
for $1.50 a linear foot.
(Wouldn't you like to find
some for that price today?)
If you are fortunate to
own an example of this
unique art form, it is
advisable to care for it
properly, i.e. to treat rust
spots or areas where it is
scaling promptly by scrap-
ing or wire brushing and
applying a good coat of
metal primer followed by a
good quality exterior paint.
Areas that are subject to
traffic, such as bannisters,
can be waxed to retard
wear of the paint. If you
wish more information
about either detail of
designs or care of iron-
work, feel free to contact
any member of the
Marietta Restoration Asso-
ciates (meetings at the
Community House, Mari-
etta, third Thursday of the
month, 8:00 PM).
acting borough manager
will complete a survey of
water mains, fire hydrants
etc., for insurance pur
poses. If the survey is nor
soon submitted, fire insur-
ance rates may go up in
the borough.
Tax computer
Tax collector Emmy Lou
Foley requested that the
tax rolls be computerized,
and that exemption applica-
tions be filed less often
than yearly.
The computer idea was
approved, with Ammon
Smith dissenting. He noted
that the $500 per year cost
of the computerizing (13
cents per name) would
have to be paid for by the
borough.
It was decided to keep
yearly exemption. filing,
because people would not
report increases in thei
income which would re-
move their exemptions.
Mobilehome ordinance
Almost an hour was
spent discussing whether
mobile home lots in Mount
Joy should have an extra
two feet of width allowed
them. The two feet were
finally allowed.
Rezoning opposed
Three citizens showed up
to oppose the rezoning plan
of Mr. and Mrs. Carl
Heilman. Two letters of
opposition were also read.
They had asked for their
property to be rezoned
from commercial to resi-
dential, so that townhouses
could be built.
Nearby property owners
objected because they felt
their land values might
suffer, and pointed out that
the railroad tracks run next
to the proposed develop:
ment near Orange Stree:
and Green Alley.
Some also objected to the
closing of a street which
was part of the townhouse
idea.
Omar Groff spoke out
against rezoning, saying,
““We can’t change an
ordinance every time some-
one wants to put up a
building.” The rest of
council agreed: councilman
Zeller moved to deny the
request, and the motion
carried unanimously.
