Historic Zoning Commission

Edgewood-Park City H-1: Level II

10-B-08-HZ

Staff Recommendation

APPROVE Certificate 92908EDG. Proposed design of railing meets adopted design guidelines, with a visual weight substantial enough to balance the bulk of the porch and the massing of the two story house.

Applicant Request

Level II. Replacement/repair
Porch elements

Install porch railing of approximately 3-1/2" turned spindles set into top and bottom rails, with 6" cap handrail; with 3-1/2" approximate spacing to meet building code requirements; remove added secondary door on front façade and fill in with salvaged asbestos shingles to match existing wall covering on house.

Site Info

Eastlake (c.1895)

Two story frame with asbestos shingle wall covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables, asphalt shingle covering, sawn wood bargeboard. One story full front porch with wood posts with Ionic capitals on brick piers. Contemporary wrought iron railings. Double hung one over one windows. Interior offset stuccoed chimney. Brick foundation. Rectangular plan.

The use of salvaged asbestos shingles will mask the appearance of the former secondary entrance, returning single family design status and removing the impression of the house as a multi-family unit.
