CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFR-T2, PORT <br />APPLICATION -- 1995-0707-2 <br />PROPERTY -- 938 Riverside Drive <br />South Bend <br />OWNER -- Jay Tidmarsh <br />DESIGNATION -- RSD-LHD <br />STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT <br />This residence was constructed circa 1903 in the American Foursquare form with <br />Free Classic style. The house was rated C/9 when previously surveyed for the <br />Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Survey, however subsequent removal of <br />aluminum siding and restoration of details warrants review of this rating. <br />PROPOSED CHANGE <br />Proposed alterations in this application are: <br />1) Installation of replacement gutters to be: <br />a. half round galvanized steel (preferred) <br />or <br />b. ogee profile aluminum (if cost of half round is prohibitive. <br />2) Reconstruction of wood sash storm & screen panels for windows. <br />3) In-kind replacement of deteriorated beveled wood siding as needed. <br />4) In-kind replacement of wood crown mouldings_ at soffitt where required by <br />deterioration of existing material. <br />STANDARDS <br />II.A.1 Required - ...The existing or original architectural. detail around <br />windows, porches, doors, and eaves should be retained or replaced by replicas <br />of the same design and material when deteriorated beyond repair. <br />II.B.2 Recommended - ...when necessary, gutters and downspouts shall be <br />maintained or replaced with.. a style comparable and suitable to the <br />architectural period. <br />II.C.2. Recommended - Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the <br />original, should be used but should not damage existing frames.... <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />As noted above substantial restoration activity has been proceeding at this <br />house. Staff recommends approval of all items on the following basis <br />1) Half -round galvanized gutters are the most probable original material. <br />Existing gutters are aluminum ogee and replacement of such would be approvable <br />by Staff as in-kind material. <br />2) Wood frame storm and screen panels are historically appropriate to the <br />house and follow the recommendations of the established standards. <br />3) Siding placement would be approvable by Staff as in-kind material. <br />4) Wood moulding replacement at the soffit is an appropriate reconstruction of <br />conditions prior to the installation of the aluminum siding which has now been <br />removed. - <br />DBD <br />7/11/95 <br />
