1) The house has been heavily altered overall prior to the establishment of the historic overlay. The windows, front door, and porch columns have been replaced or altered inappropriately. Metal stairs to the second-level have been added to the south front side in the more recent past, as well as a second-level door replacing a window to the porch roof. The original full-façade front porch has been reduced to a single-bay central porch, or stoop.
2) Documentation on the original appearance of the house in the 1920s or 1930s has been submitted to indicate the design of the front porch and a portion of the front façade. One-over-one windows are shown and a central door on the 2nd level leading to a balustraded porch roof. The columnssupporting a full-façade are square with Ionic volutes. The photos does not show a balustrade on the historic porch does not
3) The two proposed square wood columns with trim on the top and bottom are appropriate for the Neoclassical style of the house. The Ionic volutes would not look as appropriate on the more recently existing "stoop" version of the porch as wood simple wood trim.
