DENY. Although building has been damaged by fire, it was gutted for rehabilitation at the time, so that the interior damage was not extensive. Although there is no interior detail remaining, the exterior details have not been drastically damaged.
Requesting permission to demolish house damaged by fire
One story frame with asbestos shingle wall covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables, asphalt shingle roof covering, sawn wood bargeboard at east gable and round sawn wood attic vents. One story two bay front porch with replacement aluminum columns and two square engaged pilasters with Doric capitals. Two interior offset side stuccoed chimneys. Stuccoed foundation. Irregular plan.
The building is built on a very small corner lot with setbacks that are typical of areas developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Demolishing this building would make it unlikely that a replacement structure could be built on this 3,700 sq. ft. lot, leaving an almost permanent gap in the buildings on the street. The house is across from a city park and the First Creek Greenway.
