1) All windows are non-original vinyl windows.

2) Window A (faces north) is not visible from Luttrell Street. (See submittal photos 2, 3, and 4). The window opening may have been altered because it is a smaller size and a different proportion than others, and it appears that the original frame and sills are not in place.

3) Window B (faces east) is not visible from Luttrell Street, but is visible from the alley. Window B is not original based on its smaller size and horizontal orientation. (See submittal photo 4)

4) Window C (faces east) and is not visible from Luttrell Street, but is visible from the alley -- The window opening may have been altered because it is a smaller size and a different proportion than others, and it appears that the original frame and sills are not in place. (See submittal photo 4).

5) The rear, east-facing wooden door appears to be early, but the applicant asserts that it is water damaged, especially bad at the locking mechanism, and that it doesn't fit properly and it has been improperly repaired with caulking and foam.

6) Removal of the two inappropriate wrought iron security doors on each the front and rear will allow the wooden doors to be visible.
