had been filed. The new window echoed the Queen <br />Anne style, however, and clashed with the Prairie <br />style of the house. <br />Mr. Pastor said he had spoken with a <br />representative of B and C Home Improvement on the <br />site. According to this representative, the rear <br />extension had originally been an open porch. Both <br />roofline and foundation were original. This entry <br />porch had been enclosed and the casement windows <br />installed in the 1930's. <br />Mr. Pastor further reported that, while the staff <br />did not advise replacing the old windows in their <br />original opening, they did urge the removal of the <br />elliptical window, to be replaced by a rectangular <br />window smaller than the original casements. A <br />smaller window, they believed, would more clearly <br />express the Prairie style of the house. <br />He then read a case history, giving the chronology <br />of communications between the HPC staff and the <br />owners. He drew particular attention to a letter <br />from Ms. Manion, dated January 2, 1992. In this <br />letter, there was no mention of either gutter work <br />or window replacement, and the owner specifically <br />stated that no further exterior work "of any <br />consequence" was planned. At this time, the staff <br />knew only about the new fence. Also, he had <br />advised Ms. Manion over the phone on January 13 <br />that any window replacements of any kind require a <br />C of A. <br />He then stated that the owners had clearly <br />continued their projects even though they had been <br />advised that they needed C of A's before they <br />could proceed. <br />Mr. Holycross pointed out that the owners had also <br />failed to get a building permit for the window <br />replacement. Code Enforcement had put. a stop work <br />order on the project. <br />Mr. Murphy replied that the back window was in <br />such bad shape that quick work was needed. <br />Infilling had continued to prevent weather damage. <br />Mrs. Sporleder objected that weather damage could <br />easily be prevented by putting up a sheet of <br />visquene. She also wondered why insulation had <br />been put in the wall from the outside in; this was <br />contrary, she believed, to the usual order of <br />construction. <br />(4) <br />
