APPROVE Certificate No. 52810FTS. Proposed alterations will retain most significant features, including front entry, two story front porch with columns in appropriate locations, spandrels and railing on second story, and gable trim.
Rebuild but retain two story front porch, reducing size, using or reproducing handrail and columns dating from Victorian-era design; repair and reuse front entrance including door, transom and sidelights; replace windows with one over one windows; repair or replace artificial siding with lap siding on main body and fishscale shingles between windows on front elevation recess and side elevation bays and front gable; add "fascia truss" with pendant to front gable; rebuild various additions at rear of building so that east side elevation contains continuous end gable roof with extension on central one story bay and half octagonal roof with shingles forming belt course between first and second story windows; add gable roof to existing front extension with fishscale shingles between first and second story windows and on gable and with fascia truss; add matching bay at rear of east elevation; add two story recessed porch between rear extended bay and octagonal bay utilizing reproduced front porch railing and columns and adding entry with half view door and transom, and retaining entrance that faces front of building; rear section of house is deteriorated and will be removed and rebuilt. South and west side elevations will have artificial lap siding and one over one windows with fishscale shingles between first and second story windows; there are no entrances on the south and west elevations.
Two story frame with front gable roof and added gables and shed roofs on sides and at rear. Artificial siding. Two story front porch with hipped roof, added sloping one story roof to one side, sawn wood second story railing, sawn wood spandrels at second story, gouge carved square porch posts in some locations and square posts in others. Applied square truss in front facing gable with fishscale singling. Half view multipaned front entry with transoms and sidelights. Replacement one over one windows. One story bay on east (side) elevation with recessed entry before bay. Numerous additions to rear under variety of rooflines and with multiple details. Irregular plan. Varied foundation materials.
Although the east and south elevations will be altered by this proposed rehabilitation, the building's viability will be greatly enhanced through bringing it into compliance with building and safety codes. The added projecting square bays and octagonal bay will present an improved appearance on the Twelfth Street (east) elevation. The Ft. Sanders design guidelines call for the addition of bays and porches to add visual appeal on the side street (pg. 14, H-1, 4, 5, 6), and while this proposal calls for modifications to previously completed additions, the principles contained in the design guidelines are carried out in this proposal.
