Staff Comments

Front gable roof with asphalt shingle roof covering, paired casement windows and flanking wood louvered vents in front gable, casements with Prairie transoms and sidelights on remainder of windows. One-story full front porch with porte cochere, brick posts on truncated brick piers. Exterior end brick chimney. Brick foundation. Rectangular plan. (contributing)
PORCHES
The individual design elements of the neighborhood porches - turned wood columns,elaborate railings and balusters, heavy wood posts or columns, wood ceilings and floors reinforce the style of the houses. These individual details should be repaired and preserved, or replicated if good documentation of the original porch exists. Properly proportioned porches are important to new buildings constructed in Fourth and Gill, helping new construction blend better with the neighborhood.
Recommendations: Rehabilitation and New Construction
1. Repair porches on historic houses using wood floors, balustrades, posts and columns, or replace duplicating the original size and design. Reconstruction of the documented original porch is also appropriate.
THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE'S SEC RETARY OF INTERIORS STANDARDS FOR ADDING NEW FEATURES
If adequate historical, pictorial, and physical documentation exists so that the feature may be accurately reproduced, and if it is desirable to re-establish the feature as part of the building's historical appearance, then designing and constructing a new feature based on such information is appropriate.
Some exterior and interior alterations to a historic building are generally needed to assure its continued use, but it is most important that such alterations do not radically change, obscure, or destroy character-defining spaces, materials, features, or finishes. If the essential form and detailing are still evident so that the physical evidence can be used to re-establish the feature as an integral part of the rehabilitation, then its replacement is appropriate. Like the guidance for repair, the preferred option is always replacement of the entire feature in kind, that is, with the same material. It should be noted that, while the National Park Service guidelines recommend the replacement of an entire character-defining feature that is extensively deteriorated, they never recommend removal and replacement with new material of a feature that--although damaged or deteriorated--could reasonably be repaired and thus preserved.
