Applicant Request
Level II. Replacement/repair
Porch elements; Siding; Windows
1) The goal of the work proposal is to have all 28 windows in the house match existing more recently installed one-over-ones so that the windows are not mismatched. There are 18 one-over-one wood windows in the house with 10 more recently installed in 2005-2006. A total of 6 of the18 one-over-ones are early, but don't appear to be original, and are painted shut and somewhat deteriorated. There are 10 2-over-2 windows that appear to be original, but are rotting, warped, and ill-fitting. The request is for all early/original windows (6 one-over-ones and 10 two-over-twos), to be replaced with new double-insulated one-over-one wood windows.

2) Mount a second floor fascia board (strap) across the front gable to match the existing fascia board on the house, and replace the existing fiber cement board and Masonite siding in the front gable with cedar shake or shingles. Additionally, replace the siding in the upper section of the west-side front addition just below the roof with the same type of shakes or shingles.

3) Reconstruct front entrance to add a sidelight on the east (right) side of the door to match the existing one on the west (left) side if it is supported by physical evidence or photo-documentation.
