Staff Comments
Craftsman (c. 1920)- One-story frame with aluminum siding. Front-gable roof with asphalt shingle covering, kingposts.

PORCHES
1. Porches on historic houses shall be repaired or replicated using wood materials for ceilings and
floors, balustrades, posts and columns that duplicate the original size and design. Reconstruction
of the documented original porch is appropriate.
2. Porches, particularly porches visible from a street, shall not be enclosed.
Most of the houses in the Edgewood-Park City Historic District have a porch. Porches
were a form of air conditioning. They shaded the windows and doors, and provided an
outdoor room for neighborhood social life before television and radio. They are graceful,
welcoming and introduce the house to passers-by. They may stretch across the
full width of the house or wrap around corners. They may even be two story porches,
with upper story balconies. Enclosing a porch harms the house, detracting from the
original character and design.
The individual design elements of the neighborhood porches, with turned wood
columns, elaborate railings and balusters, heavy wood posts or columns, wood ceiling
and floors, and sawn wood trim, are all important to the style of the houses. These
individual details should be repaired and preserved, or reproduced if good documentation
of the original porch exists.
SECRETARY OF INTERIORS STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATING HISTORIC BUILDINGS
1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its environmental shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
5. Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement or missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
10. Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to a structure shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would not be impaired.
