APPROVE Certificate No. 60507EDG. Slate was typically used on the side walls of Dutch Colonial Revival houses in the Knoxville area, and has the advantage of providing a textured appearance while doing away with the need for extensive maintenance.
Install composite slate (Lamarite) on second story side walls of building, to duplicate slate that originally appeared on the side walls.
Two story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Gambrel roof with hipped dormers with dentil molding, asphalt shingle roof covering, wood hsingles and circular gable vent. One story three-quarter front porch with dentil molding, triple round wood posts on shingled piers with Ionic capitals nad sawn wood balustrade. Projecting bay on east elevation. Double hung one over one windows. Brick foundation. Irregular plan.
Design Guidelines for Edgewood-Park City allow the use of synthetic materials on new construction, provided they duplicate the appearance of the original (pg. 23, Walls Coverings, #3). In the case of 1620 Washington, prior rehabilitation left no original material on the side walls of the building; the use of Lamarite will not involve the removal of original remnants and is consistent with the guidelines where no original materials remain.
