Additions; GutteringRelocate existing rear wall of a non-original and noncontributing addition to raise the end of the current back roof by 1'-10", raising the last 7'-7" of the roof from a pitch of 4/12 to 2/12.

A total of nine wood double-hung windows and a pair of full-light French doors will be added in the center of the new exterior wall. There will be 3 windows to the north of the French doors and 3 added to the south on the back exterior wall to create a sunporch appearance. Below the windows a wood beadboard wainscot will be installed at ~3 feet in height. Three windows will be installed on the northwest side, and a single half-light door will be added to the southeast side of the addition. A wood stair with wood balustrade and landing with 2x2 balusters will be added to the rear center and southeast sides of the addition.
Staff Comments
Queen Anne (1889)The massing and extant detailing of this Queen Anne house suggest it may be a design by the firm of Baumann and Baumann Architects, which designed many house in the Fort Sanders neighborhood. The hip roof with lower cross gables is covered in asphalt shingles. Original 1/1 windows and doors were present throughout the house at the time of designation in 1999. The windows are paired on the second level above the front entry. A one-story front porch with a hipped roof has been enclosed on the south end. The remaining two-thirds front porch is supported by square wood columns with Doric capitals. The foundation is brick, and an interior offset corbelled brick chimney is located on the rear of the house at the north side. A later, small flat-roofed addition enclosed with windows has been added over the front porch roof. A later, shed-roofed, full-façade addition has been constructed on the rear, along with a hipped-roofed back porch. Mr. Lackey was founder of Broyles, McClellan & Lackey Company, which dealt in farming supplies. He is buried in Old Gray Cemetary. (Contributing)
