1. Masonry/Chimneys. Rebuild SE chimney from roofline, reusing existing brick. If new brick must be added, match existing as closely as possible. Add appropriate cap to west and SE chimneys. Remove non-historic NE stove chimney to ground. Where stove chimney was removed, patch roof to match existing roofline and add in-kind siding milled to match currently existing historic wood siding.

2. Porch. Replace rotted column plinths (due to insufficient porch slope) with paintable aluminum plinths. Add an abacus to the capital of each column (standard for Tuscan columns of the style and in the neighborhood.)

3. Windows. Replace existing later-added windows on rear enclosed porch with wood divided light window to simulate existing. Where stove chimney was removed, add wood casement window.

Level I - Standard Repair/Replace
Repair damaged wood details. Refabricate with wood where repair is impossible. Tuckpoint west and SE chimneys and foundation where needed using historic mortar formula. Replace existing porch decking in-kind. Repair storm windows.
