BACKGROUND DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: CA. 1915 ZONED HISTORIC PRESERVATION: 1999 NATIONAL REGISTER LISTING: BRADY HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT: 1980 CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURE: NO PREVIOUS ACTIONS: APRIL 25, 2000 TPC APPROVAL Install fascia to attach metal drip channel around second level roof C. ISSUES AND CONSIDERATIONS 1. Reconstruct porch according to drawing submitted i. The applicant is requesting to rebuild his original, existing porch. The building features a full-span, one-story porch with brick piers and wood columns. The original railing for the porch is lap siding that matches the original house siding. The porch features brick bulkheads and concrete steps. The porch has undergone vast amount of deterioration. The brick columns and bulkheads are losing mortar and some are near to collapsing. The applicant plans to rebuild his columns using the same brick. The porch floor has suffered water damage and is sagging near the brick columns and between joists. The applicant will reuse any salvageable floor and use matching floorboards. The lap siding railing has deteriorated some boards. The applicant proposes to use any salvageable siding and use matching siding for the railing. Another option is to use shingles to match the second story shingles. The concrete steps will remain Page 1 of 3
COA-15-028 and will be repaired if possible. The applicant plans to reuse the porch columns and rebuild one column to match the others in size and design. The applicant plans to support the porch roof during the rebuilding phase, so the covering will not be removed from the building. Cross lattice will be used under the porch. Remove two non-original, wood windows with five-over-one jailhouse, wood windows with matching wood trim The first story façade windows are not original to building. The applicant requests to remove the windows and replace them with five-over-one, jailhouse wood windows to match the original, existing windows. The windows will need to build by a craftsman rather than store bought or pre-made. On the interior, the applicant has found the original pocket weight shafts and will determine the original size based on interior walls. The window will match the size of the second story windows. The proposed window trim is to match the existing window trim on the second story. The trim is located along the bottom and both sides of the window and a water table runs across the top of the window instead of trim. Remove Fascia trim from the structure The Fascia trim on the second story is not original the structure. It was approved at the April 25, 2000 TPC meeting. ii. References: Unified Guidelines for Residential Structures SECTION G GUIDELINES FOR REHABILITATION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES 4.2 WINDOWS AND WINDOW TRIM A.4.1 Retain and preserve original historic windows, including glazing, trim, muntins, and character-defining details. A.4.2. Do not remove, cover, or move existing window openings. A.4.3 To return the home to its original historic appearance, remove nonhistoric windows and trim. When selecting replacements, use physical or pictorial evidence. If no evidence exists, select windows which are consistent with the architectural style of your home A.6 Porches A.6.1 Retain and preserve the original historic porch and its characterdefining architectural features through repair. A.6.2 Do not remove character-defining architectural features of your porch including, but not limited to, ceiling, floor, piers, columns, railings, handrails, steps, bulkheads, skirt/stem wall, and decorative details such as crown molding, trim, eave brackets, and exposed rafter tails.

COA-15-028 A.6.3 If replacement of deteriorated porch elements is necessary, use materials that maintain the character of the structure and the size, shape, pattern, texture, dimensions, and directional orientation of the original historic features. A.6.4 To return the home to its original historic appearance, use physical or pictorial evidence. If no evidence exists, select porch features which are consistent with the architectural style of your home. Return enclosed porches to original historic open design (which can be staff approved). A.5. Roofs A.5.4 To return the home to its original historic appearance, use physical or pictorial evidence. If no evidence exists, select architectural roof features which are consistent with the architectural style of your home. iii. Considerations 1. Since the majority, the work is like-for-like rehabilitation, it could have staff approval; however, staff believes since the project is extensive with several components, a TPC decision is recommended. 2. There is no window specifications sheet since the windows will have to be built to match the opening. 3. Although the non-original wood windows are not deteriorated enough for replacement, they are not original. The proposed material for the new windows is wood and will match the original windows.
