Owner is updating Certificate to reflect items previously approved but not yet completed on Certificate No. 032904ONK. Remainder of changes contemplated to transoms at front entry and cottage window on front bay are consistent with the description of stained glass features found in the adopted design guidelines. There is now a leaded glass transom in place above the front entry. The sidelights and the Cottage window transom were probably either leaded or stained glass; the originals were removed prior to designation, and no record of their original design exists. The proposed stained glass is typical of the Victorian era and appropriate for the structure's overall design.
