<br />STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
<br />WEST NORTH SHORE STANDARDS:
<br />West North Shore Drive Local Historic District Guidebook
<br />II. BASIC STRUCTURAL MATERIAL AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
<br />Preferred: Retain and maintain the original exterior building material. Frame Structures: Repair, repaint, and/or clean siding to
<br />deter deterioration. Masonry Structures: Tuckpoint brick and stone, repair stucco and repaint trim, stucco and brick (if painted) to
<br />deter deterioration. Retain and maintain architectural detail of structures such as wrought iron, tile, brackets, etc., or replace when
<br />necessary with similar material in texture, size and appearance.
<br />Permitted: If vinyl or aluminum siding is the only economic solution to a deteriorating frame house, architectural detail must be
<br />visually preserved. The siding used should match the original in style, width, and lap as closely as possible.
<br />Prohibited: Do not use asbestos or asphalt siding on frame structures. Do not use artificial brick or cast stone siding on brick,
<br />masonry, stucco, or frame structures. Do not sandblast or use harsh detergents in cleaning brick, masonry or stucco.
<br />B. WINDOWS AND DOORS
<br />Preferred: Retain and maintain existing window and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, doors, decorative glass,
<br />pediments, hoods, and hardware. Use canvas awnings, if awnings are used. Install wooden frame storm windows and doors
<br />painted to match trim. Install insulating glass in existing sash. As to Lot 12, metal storm windows and doors which have been
<br />coated to match trim and which are architecturally in good taste with the structure, are preferred.
<br />Permitted: Replace deteriorated doors, windows, sills, shutters, etc. with materials which match the original as closely as
<br />possible. A special effort should be made to match the size and style of the window and door openings, so that the overall
<br />appearance of the structure is not altered. Install metal storm windows and doors which have been painted, anodized, or coated to
<br />match the trim.
<br />Prohibited: Do not attach or use metal, vinyl or fiber glass awnings nor hoods. Do not attach exterior shutters to a house that did
<br />not have shutters originally unless approved in writing by the Historic Preservation Commission.
<br />C. PORCHES AND STEPS WHICH ARE READILY VISIBLE FROM THE STREET
<br />Preferred: Retain and maintain porches and steps including hand rails, balusters, columns, brackets, roof decoration, tile, and
<br />brick. If porches and/or steps are enclosed for heat conservation or other reasons, it should be done in a manner that does not
<br />destroy the architectural nor historical character of the home. Permitted: Replace porches and steps with materials matching the
<br />original as closely as possible. A cement porch floor is permitted for the structure on Lot 12.
<br />Prohibited: Porches and steps that are appropriate to the style of the house shall not be removed.
<br />IV. NEW CONSTRUCTION OR ADDITIONS TO EXISTING STRUCTURES
<br />Preferred: Consider the size, scale, roof lines, etc., in the design of a new structure, so that it will be compatible with its adjacent
<br />buildings in particular and will blend with the neighborhood in general. New additions to existing
<br />structures must be compatible in scale, building materials and texture to the building to which the addition is made. Retain as
<br />much of the original structure as possible, so that the addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and
<br />appearance of the building.
<br />Prohibited: Do not use asbestos or asphalt siding. Do not use artificial brick or cast stone siding. Do not use glass brick.
<br />Structural concrete block may be used only on foundations for new construction or additions.
<br />VI. SAFETY AND BUILDING CODES A. BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS
<br />Required: Building code requirements shall be complied with in such a manner that the existing character of the building is
<br />preserved.
