Applicant Request

Level II. Replacement/repair

Rebuild front porch to match the original slope and location, with tapered round wood columns and pilaster, t&g wood floor, wood handrail and pickets, wood stair, and sloped roof; extend rear gable of main house across currently flat roofed rear addition; install windows at rear side of originally flat roofed addition

Site Info

Two story frame with asbestos/concrete shingle wall covering. Cross gable roof with asphalt shingle covering, round louvered attic vent with applied ornamentation at base. One over one double hung windows. One story one-half front porch with replacement columns. Two story rear flat rear addition. Stuccoed foundation. Irregular plan.

Removal of the artificial siding and the addition of an appropriate front porch and more appropriate massing for the rear addition are a significant positive step for the Ft. Sanders NC-1 district, providing not only a more appropriate exterior design for this historic structure, but also an excellent example of a historically-based rehabilitation that allows multi-family use of the structure.
