Applicant Request

Construct new side porch and deck, visible from Leonard Place. Porch portion will have end gable roof and turned posts to match front porch, and will be accessed through an addition to the rear of the house, replacing fixed single pane window with door. Open roof on porch. Dimension of porch - 16' wide and 9' deep. Deck will have railing that matches fence that will be installed in vacant lots to the east; overall deck is 16'x18'.

Site Info

Two and one-half story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables, and square turret, asphalt shingle roof covering, sawn wood brackets and applied trim of ninety degree triangles on cornice. Two over two double hung windows. One story front and side wrap around porch with turned wood columns, sawn wood brackets, spandrels and balustrade. Two interior offset brick chimneys. Brick foundation. Irregular plan. Transoms at entry doors on front and side porch.

The addition is attached to a rear, non-historic addition that was made to the house a number of years ago; inserting an access door will not result in changes to a historic window. The applicant also intends to construct a fence, and although that fencing does not require a Certificate of Appropriateness, it will serve to further obscure the side porch and deck addition.
