Site Info

One-story frame with brick veneer wall covering. Side gable roof with asphalt shingle covering. One-story two bay front porch with brick columns. Three over one double hung windows. Interior offset brick chimney. Brick foundation. Rectangular plan. Contributing structure. Property is currently in significant disrepair.

1. The condition of the existing windows justify the use of replacement windows. The replacment windows must be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and the same muntin style and exterior depth, width, and profile. Thermal sash windows that use false muntins are not acceptable.
2. The Edgewood/Park City Guidelines recommend repairing or replacing roof details (chimneys, roof cresting, finials, attic vent windows, molding and other unique roof features). The removal of the chimney on the front of the house would remove a prominent, historical feature of the house visible from the street. However, the side chimney was cut off at the roof at some point in the past. The bricks are no longer on site and removing the internal chimney would allow the applicant to rebuild the chimney on the exterior of the house utilizing the historic bricks. The inoperable internal chimney would be removed and the exterior chimney would be restored to it's original state.
