Site Info

1113 & 1115 Harvey: One story frame shotgun with weatherboard wall covering. Front gable roof with asphalt shingle covering. Double hung two over two windows. One story three-quarters front porch with square wood columns with sawn wood brackets. Interior central brick chimneys. Brick foundation. Rectangular plan.

Applicant has begun work on the interior and exterior restoration of these two buildings, which are both located on the same city lot. There is no lot space to create additional interior space for either dwelling, and the proposed addition will not obscure the original shape of the shotgun structures, but will allow them to function as one dwelling. The addition is located towards the rear of the structure. It presents a very transparent wall to the street. The original buildings and their front porches and entrances will be restored and preserved, so that the original form of the buildings is obvious to passers-by. The resulting single structure will meet the provisions of New Building Construction in the historic district (pg. 26-28).
