1808 Jefferson was constructed with only one window on the front elevation, creating an imbalanced and atypical design and insufficient light and air on the interior. The applicant proposed to install an additional window that is consistent in size, material and design with the existing windows; the additional window will improve the appearance of the house and make it more consistent with the other contributing structures in this district.
