Remove existing brick façade and existing aluminum siding on front elevation; remove added chimney, hearth, brick window wall windows and doors and awning; install wood porch columns (6"x6") and new front door near center of house; repair existing windows; repair roof as necessary.

This house was altered about thirty years ago with the addition of a front brick veneer wall with an integral fireplace, and the enclosure of the front porch. The brick wall is collapsing structurally. Community Development proposes to remove it, recapturing the front porch and retaining the existing aluminum siding.
