The chimneys are original and contribute to the historic character of the house; therefore, the north side chimney, which is visible from the right-of-way, should be retained. The chimney on the rear south side is not visible from the right-of-way.
Level I - Replace original exterior chimney stack above the roofline on the north side of the house (visible from the public r-o-w) to match original in design and size utilizing bricks original to the house. Replace roof shingles and gutters on rear south and north side of house as needed to match existing.
Level II - Remove original chimney stack above roofline on rear south side of house (which is not visible from the public right-of-way).
One-story frame with weatherboard siding . Hip roof with lower cross-gables and asphalt shingle roof. Two interior side brick chimneys, one front and one rear.
The two original chimney stacks above the roof have been removed. Some of the top chimney bricks have fallen into the fireplace. The applicant's contractor states that because of structural issues, it would be necessary to rebuild the entire interior chimney and its foundation beginning in the crawl space in order to provide stable support for a rebuilt chimney stack above the roofline.
