Applicant Request
Level I. Routine repair of siding, fascia, soffit, windows, roof, or other features using materials, design, and dimensions that match original or early features
WindowsWindows-Rehabilitation and New Construction
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.
5. Windows should not be replaced with fixed thermal glazing or
permitted to be inoperable. In many cases fixed or inoperable
glazing violates code requirements for egress.
Porches- 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.
3. New front porches in Fourth and Gill must be large enough to
provide seating, i.e., six to eight feet in depth.
4. In new construction, the proportion of the porches to the front
facades should be consistent with the historic porches in the
neighborhood. Details such as columns, posts, piers, balustrades
and porch flooring must use materials that present a visually
and physically appropriate appearance historically.
5. Do not replace a wooden porch floor with a poured concrete or
masonry floor. The concrete floor will change the historic
appearance of the building, and can retain moisture that
eventually damages the building.
Doors- Rehabilitation and New Construction
1. Entry features that should be preserved include sidelights and
transoms of plain, patterned, beveled or stained glass, fan light
windows, entablatures, and the original doors. All add character
to the structures within the Fourth and Gill Historic District.
2. It may be appropriate to design or construct a new entrance if
the historic one is missing. Any restoration should be based on
historical, pictorial and physical documentation and should be
compatible with the historic character of the building
and with adjacent buildings. It should not create a false
historic appearance. Entrances should not be removed
when rehabilitating a building, either in adapting to a
new use or continuing a historic one.
.
5. Determine if a storm door will be instrumental to saving energy.
If a storm door is used, it should have a color-clad frame and a
full view glass, or be designed to respect the original entry door.
Security doors should follow the same guidelines .
.
7. Missing doors should be replaced with new doors appropriate
for the style and period of the building. In replacing missing
original doors, replacement doors should mimic doors typical
for that architectural style, including materials, glazing, and pane
configuration. Solid six panel or flush wood or steel design doors
should only be used for entrances not visible from the public
street. "Decorator" designed doors available from wholesale
hardware stores are usually not appropriate for the architectural
styles of the Fourth & Gill Historic District.
