Staff Comments
Queen Anne, c.1890
    Two-story frame residence with a cross gable roof clad in asphalt shingles, an exterior of wood lap siding, and a continuous brick foundation. Decorative wood bargeboard and trim. Full-length, hipped-roof porch with a projecting front gable with cornice returns.

1. Vinyl and aluminum replacement windows should not be used.
4. If replacement windows are necessary, they should be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and the same muntin style and exterior depth, width, and profile. False muntins or grids should not be used.
7. It can be appropriate to design and install additional windows on the rear or another secondary elevation. The designs should be compatible with the overall design of the building.
