APPROVE Certificate No. 42610GEN. Outside steps that lead to front porch are now arranged in side to side configuration at the upper levels, with landings at end of each set of rises, and were probably installed some forty years ago.
Realign steps from Hill to front porch to be a straight run with small landing and stone walls and buttresses, matching the rise and run of the existing house.
Mary Boyce Temple House. Two and one half story brick with steeply pitched, slate covered cross gable roof, elaborate window trim, two story front porch with original, finely detailed wrought iron railing. Wood paneled bay window on front façade. Leaded glass sidelights and window at front entry. Tall, corbelled, paired exterior brick chimneys with circular chimney pots on west elevation, third, brick chimney on rear side. Calmes on upper sash of attic windows.
The proposed realignment of the steps will return a more formal sense of entry from the public space to the private space of the front porch and house, and are more in keeping with the early 20th century style of the house.
