Addition of dormer on rear roof slope. Gable-roof dormer will be 48" wide by 66" tall (from bottom of dormer to roof peak) and installed on rear (north) slope of primary hipped massing.
Dormer will be clad in wood clapboard siding to match the house, with a gable roof clad in asphalt shingles. Roof eave overhangs will reflect existing house, with a 6" wood fascia board. Dormer will feature a one-over-one, double-hung Jeld-Wen window measuring 26" wide by 41" tall, with 4" wood trim.
One-story residence with a hipped roof, clad in asphalt shingles, with lower gable-roof massings projecting to the front and sides. Front gable features partial cornice returns. Exterior is clad in wood clapboard siding with wood cornerboards. A one-story, hipped-roof porch extends across the façade, supported by square wood columns. Windows are one-over-one, double-hung wood sash. Door is flanked by sidelights and features a wood transom.
1. 219 Leonard Place is a contributing resource to the Old North Knoxville H Overlay.
2. Placement of the dormer addition at the rear of the building is appropriate. The size, scale, and proportions of the dormer addition are suitable to the historic house's proportions. The front-gable roof is stepped down from the primary hipped-roof massing to differentiate the gable roofline from the historic roofline.
3. The dormer will not be visible from Leonard Place. Due to the one-story hipped-roof massing projecting from the rear elevation, the dormer will be minimally visible from 4th Avenue.
4. The materials, including wood clapboard siding, an asphalt-shingle roof, and a double-hung wood window, are compatible with the original materials on the historic house.
5. The dormer addition could be removed without destroying the form or significant features of the historic house.
