J ■f 'J i < VOL. 134 — NO. 32 GREENWICH, NEW YORK and Salem Press 1SDAY, MAY 6, 1976 20 CENTS a n s f o r P r o u d f i t . > ' 4 - H m e m b e r s p l a n t o t r u d g e o n c e a g a i n Plans for the rebuilding of Proudfit hall -inelude-a - facade similar to a man sard roof, an expanded firehouse and library, and a public meeting room * with a kitchenette, the Salem village board re vealed a t a public meeting last Thursday evening. A b o u t 100 residents attended the meeting to see the preliminary plans Peter Chief- aryand $$,• Montgomery, the architect and engineer G^rfedics, the com- papfty wh|qh planned the rebuilding. The company -isart-Albany firm, but Mr. Montgomery is formerly of Salem. Preliminary plans call for a slate roof which slants to the back of the building to allow water to drain. The mansard-type facade would also be slate, over plywood deck ing, supported by wooden trusses.. The cost of the entire project is estimated at between $85,000 and N i c h o l s r e c e i v e s L i b e r t y B e l l $90,000. I f work can not b e com pleted at that price, plans w ill be changed, says Mayor Jack P h illip s . For instance, regular shingled could be substituted for slate if the slate ‘ proves too expen sive. It is possible that costs will be held down by the use of village payroll workers and volunteers on the building. A t any rate, the cost o f the rebuilding will not exceed $90,000. Plans call for bidding on the construction of the roof to start within three weeks. It is expected that that phase of rebuilding will cost approximately 320,000. Village residents ex- amined a floor plan for the interior of the Proudfit building at the meeting. Basically, the building will house a firehouse, library, meeting room arid village offices. The firehouse will be in the same location as it was, and will have four bays instead of three.
