C. WINDOWS AND DOORS <br />Window and doorframes are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many <br />are double hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. <br />In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. <br />About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half have wood <br />storm windows. <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, <br />pediments, hoods, and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and <br />trim resembling the original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not <br />damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design, <br />and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or <br />coated to match the existing. When awnings are used they should be of canvas material. <br />D. Entrances, Porches and Steps <br />Most houses in the district have either an open or enclosed porch across the front. Most porches have <br />either hip or gabled roofs or are covered by the main roof of the house. <br />Required - When deteriorated beyond repair, existing or original porches, stoops, patios and steps, including <br />handrails, balusters, columns, brackets, tiles and roof decorations, shall be retained or replaced by <br />replicas of the same design or by a design more in keeping with the historic period of the structure. <br />Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles and which are important to the building's <br />historical integrity shall be retained. <br />RECOMMENDED -j <br />When enclosing porches for heat conservation or for other reasons, it should be done in a manner that <br />does not alter the architectural or historical character of the building. <br />Prohibited <br />Front porches, stoops, patios and steps that are important to the building's style and development shall <br />not be altered or removed; if in need of replacement, see above Required section. See also Section IV <br />B. Access for Handicapped or Disabled Persons. <br />Not Recommended <br />Original porch details should not be replaced with materials representing a different period or style from <br />the original. <br />Page 10 of 26 <br />
