In the 1929 design, the screened porch was finished with vertical posts framing inset panels at the bottom of each opening topped by screen wire panels with a vertical center separating strip. Applicant proposes to remove the glass and shingle panels installed 5-6 years ago, replacing them with duplicate wood panels and using casement or other windows above the wood panels that will replicate the 1929 screen wire dimensions. Applicant also proposes to remove a second story window on the southeast elevation, which was specified for removal in the 1929 plan, and which will not be visible from Kingston Pike.
