9-G-19-HZ

Applicant Request

Level II. Major repair or replacement of materials or architectural elements

All work is proposed for the rear elevation. Applicant is proposing to move the existing door and single-light transom to the current location of a double-hung window, effectively switching places. The space vacated by the door will be enclosed with wood weatherboard siding and a two-light wood casement window. Wood trim will be installed surrounding the door and transom window, and new casement window, to match existing wood trim. Wood beadboard wainscoting be installed in the section where the door was removed, to match existing.

Site Info

Two-and-one-half-story frame residence with wood weatherboard wall covering and a vertical board beltcourse. Cross gable roof with patterned metal shingle covering. One-story, one-bay front porch with an entry topped by a pediment with wood shingles in gable, fluted wood columns with Ionic capitals, and dentil molding. Two-story bay on east elevation features rafters, sawn wood bargeboard, and an incised garland motif. Double-hung, one-over-one windiws. Two interior offset brick corbelled chimneys. Limestone front wall. Designed by George F. Barber.

1. The house is a contributing resource to the Edgewood-Park City H-1 Overlay and the Park City National Register Historic District.

2. The wall to receive new door and window placement is located at the rear of a structure, behind a fence, and not visible from the public right-of-way.

3. The re-installation of the original wood door and single-light transom is an appropriate re-use of the historic materials.

4. The proposed casement window to replace the door is appropriate in materials and will not detract from the house's overall integrity.

5. The wood weatherboard siding to fill in the space vacated by the door will match the existing wood siding. The applicant is also proposing the installation of wood window and door trim to match the house's existing wood trim.

5. The exterior wood beadboard wainscoting that extends across the edge of the house is a character-defining feature.
