It has a hipped roof covered with asphalt shingles. The windows are 8/8 double hung with brick header course and sills, louvered shutters. The entry has a flat roof canopy with moulded trim , iron grating with a brick stoop. There is a half wall/buttress at the southwest corner. There is a set of French doors on the front fagade with iron grating. ALTERATIONS: There is a second storey rear addition noted on the 1987 Survey Card. All of the double hung windows are vinyl replacement windows. The roof was replaced in 2008. The front door may not be original to the house. The storm door is new. The fencing was added in 2002. APPLICATION ITEMS: Replace the front door and French doors on the front of house. The new products would be consistent in appearance with the historical appearance of the house. We will use a fiberglass product due to the southern direction that the house faces and inadequate overhangs on the house needed to protect wood doors. The worn out railing systems will be replaced with regal black aluminum railings. French doors will have 10 lights, identical to the current doors. Front door will be paneled with a 6 light window. The shutters on the house will be replaced with louvered vinyl shutters. Photos were taken by Steve Szaday. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The homeowner proposes to replace the current front door with a Smooth -Star fiberglass paneled front door with six lights. (See product brochure) Preservation Specialist examined the door and found that the door has deteriorated and the framing has shifted so the door does not close properly. Also the decorative features are deteriorating. (See Steve's report and photographs) The French Doors are badly deteriorated and the homeowner wishes to replace those with fiberglass replicas. (See product brochure and photographs). The iron grating above the door and at the French doors has also deteriorated. The homeowner proposes aluminum replacements that will match the appearance of the ironwork as closely as possible. He also wished to replace the current shutters with vinyl replicas.
