APPROVE Certificate No. 80408CON. The building has had numerous changes over time. The proposed alterations will unify many of those changes, making the interior spaces more livable and creating a unified and appropriate exterior appearance.
Repair or replace wood siding in kind; install appropriate windows (usually two sash multi-panes) corresponding to appropriate construction period; install new three panel door with 6 light one-quarter windows, to be installed at either end of front elevation facing Second; install two new windows facing Second; replace existing overhead garage door with carrage style garage door; replacing siding door with French doors; replace basement access plank door on east elevation (not visible from Second or Church); remove window on east elevation, not visible from Second or Church.
One story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Four over four double hung windows. Side gable roof with asphalt shingle roof covering. Exterior side brick chimney. L-shaped foundation. Rectangular plan.
NOTE: The house at 1100 Church has elements of Craftsman style (including overall massing and the exterior side chimney which faces Second) and elements of an c.1880-c.1900 Victorian-era style (including primarily the four over four windows facing Church). The Second Street elevation comprises the primary access to the house. An examination of the basement reveals floor joists and foundation elements (brick and soft mortar) that could date the house c. 1880, but could also be as late as 1910. Several additions have taken place over time, and window styles and doors and openings have changed with each of those additions. The addition nearest Second was constructed from reclaimed materials, but appears to date from the middle 1900's (c.1950), while a rear section, including the garage in the raised basement portion of the building) appears to date from the 1970s. Door locations on the Second-facing section have been altered.
Applicant proposes to emphasize a front entry on the Second-facing elevation, create more workable interior spaces by altering windows on the east elevation of the house that is not visible from either Church or Second, and install windows appropriate to the likely c. 1910 construction date. These changes will create a more legible architectural appearance, while enhancing the interior spaces and their arrangement. None of the proposed changes will alter significant architectural features.
