Site Info
Neoclassical (c.1910)Two story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Hip roof with hipped front dormer, modillions at cornice. One over one double hung windows. One story three-quarters front porch with paired and single wood posts on brick piers, sawn wood balustrade. Brick foundation. Interior offset brick chimney. Rectangular plan.
The applicant is planning a clearly contemporary addition which is sympathetic in design with the original, and which will be in keeping with the tradition of wrap around porches in this and other Victorian-era neighborhoods. The deck is removable without damage to the original structure, and allows the building to adapt to contemporary demands.
