A majority of the work proposed, with the exception of work on the rear façade windows and the construction of outbuildings, is repair work duplicating existing materials. The work on the rear façade consists of replacing unoriginal windows on the first story with three wood windows of equal width using the existing openings; the windows currently found on the wall are not original to he house. The proposed windows will more nearly mimic the size of other original windows throughout the house, and are appropriate for the structure. The gable window proposed for the rear façade was been approved by this Commission in June, 2006 (a now-expired Certificate), and are consistent with pg. 28, L1-6. The outbuilding proposed for the rear of the lot is also consistent with the guidelines, pg. 29 M1-4. The deck and gazebo were also previously approved.
