This property has recently changed hands. The former owner constructed the deck without a Certificate of Appropriateness and indicated she wanted to install a door on the side elevation in order to access the deck. The Historic Zoning Commission approved the deck construction after modifications to the initial construction were made. A door on the side elevation was not approved and was never installed.
