Staff has approved the installation of wood storm windows and a rear door to replace an existing and inappropriate solid Colonial style cross and bible door. PRESERVATION STANDARDS IIC. Required: Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels; sills, shutters, decorative glass. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended: Wood frame storm windows and doors painted to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used. Prohibited: Inappropriate new window and door features, such as aluminum insulation glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors, shall not be installed. HIB. Not Recommended: Glass block should not be used. RECOMMENDATION Part A: Rear storm door, In 1992, the present owners received approval to replace an inappropriate storm door with the very. nice existing wood storm door. It has a large single light over two panels. As the Riverside Drive guidelines recommend wood storm doors, this existing door is in keeping with the philosophy of the district's rehabilitation guidelines to encourage restoration of original and appropriate materials, if not design. This door has unfortunately warped due to sun exposure and weathering, and the door hardware (springs and hinges) is broken. , The Price's propose to install a triple track aluminum storm door, which is not historically appropriate to their Queen Anne — Carpenter Builder style house based on the proposed door's materials and design. The proposed door is as historic as the storm door existing at the time of the district's founding, but not as appropriate as the present wood storm door. Staff would have recommended a replacement wood storm door similar to the design of the existing storm door.
