Castle Rock board approves up to $14,914 for Maples restoration
At the full amount, the grant would use nearly all of the town’s remaining 2026 historic-restoration budget.

Castle Rock’s Historic Preservation Board approved a grant of up to $14,914.11 for restoration work at The Maples, 422 Front St., voting 6–0 on Nov. 4. The grant is capped at half of eligible project costs, and the board’s meeting record documents the approval.
The proposed work would replace later-installed vinyl windows with Pella Reserve windows in the existing openings, restore four original wood windows in the enclosed rear porch, and repair the original rear door and porch details. The town separately approved the vinyl-window replacement as a minor alteration; that approval did not provide grant funding. The town’s alteration memo says the replacement will retain the existing openings and window pattern.
The application sought half of a $29,828.22 estimate for 12 replacement windows. A vendor quote lists those windows and their itemized prices but does not separately price the porch-window and door restoration. The staff report says final grant-eligible costs will be checked against invoices and project documentation, so the amount ultimately paid could be below the approved cap. It also said $15,000 remained in the town’s 2026 historic-restoration grant budget before the award; at the full cap, $85.89 would remain.
The staff report made the grant contingent on recording The Maples’ local landmark designation, which Town Council approved Oct. 6.
