window above French doors and above the four sets of double casement <br />windows. <br />STANDARDS <br />laterstandards (II -D-1) require that "[p]orches reflecting <br />7tter architectural styles, and which are important to the building's <br />historical integrity ... be retained." It is further recommended (II -D-2) <br />that "enclosing porches for heat conservation . . . should be done in a <br />manner that does not alter the architectural or historical character of the <br />build-ing." <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />The - '-proposal seeks to alter a portion of the structure that is not <br />historic. Enclosing the porch in the manner proposed would not affect 'the <br />building's remaining historical integrity. The choice to enclose the porch <br />using casement windows resembling those found on the front, first floor <br />facade, is appropriate; similarly, the use of siding to match the main <br />block is also appropriate. <br />However, the proposal to install an elliptical window on this facade, even <br />though it is an addition to the main block, would. introduce an design <br />element not found elsewhere on the historical facade. In this respect, the <br />proposal would alter the building's intended architectural character. <br />It is recommended that the HPC approve alternate plan #1, that does . not <br />include the elliptical window, as submitted by the owners. <br />F.
