garage had interior security bars installed and were inoperable. One of these windows is on the ground floor of the east face of the garage and is partly obscured by bushes, while the second is on the north east face of the garage. The third window is on the second floor of the driveway / South elevation and is part of a bathroom, and the request to install glass block is for security or privacy reasons. is 3. Replacement of the side entry door and storm door with new construction Therma Tru fiberglass -clad wood -and -insulation door and a Larson wooden storm door, respectively. The current door has 12 glass panels (3 x 4) above and a single decorative wood panel below, and is possibly original to the house. The current storm door insert has four horizontal divisions in a 3/4 lite door. The replacement door appears to be a Therma-Tru Smooth -Star® Craftsman Lite 2 Panel Shaker Flush -Glazed (Style No. S4814XC-SDLF1). Therma-Tru's website offers models that are more in keeping with the existent door (for example, Smooth-Star(I 3/4 Lite 1 Panel Flush - Glazed, Style No. 52250-SDL). Multiple windows are not being replaced. These include a "circle top" on the street face, a basement window and an original window in the attic near the top of the gable wall on the driveway / South side, a glass block window on the South East side abutting the garage, and two basement windows on the North East side.

PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT: January 15, 2018 RE: 1203 E Wayne St South On January 11, I was asked to go to the address located at 1203 E Wayne St South. This property is located in the East Wayne Local Historic District. The contractor, J.D. Holm Construction, had come in to the building department to obtain permits, and was unaware that the house required an approved COA in order to have permits . pulled that pertained to the exterior. He had already begun work and had replaced several windows already. I met with Terry Holm (contractor), and Ms. Phillips who is the owner of the house at the property. I saw four styles and construction of windows on the house. The peaks on the third floor retain the original steel casement windows. The second floor were metal construction and were single pane casement with scissor type lever type openers. The main floor had a rounded top metal construction window (this will remain), new Marvin aluminum - clad wood windows, and glass block windows in the garage area. A non -original steel casement is in the garage/breezeway addition between the house and what was the original stand-alone garage. The second generation windows are Qualitybilt Woodwork / Farley & Loetscher Mfg. Co. There are no brand identifiers on the original windows that I could find. I was able to find a catalog online and found these windows were in production from 1950 to 1960 and are metal filled with wood by-product, (sawdust and glue). Many of these windows do not close entirely anymore. My photographs will show that several are not fully closed as the owner explained that they have to push from the outside to get the windows to latch closed. The one garage window that has been replaced with glass block faces the neighbor's house to the east and is hard to see from the street. The other is to be placed where the non original steel casement window is located in the garage/breezeway and faces the neighbor to the west. This window is visible only when following the curved road between East Wayne north and south. The second generation windows would be difficult to repair and I was unable to find any repair parts for those models. The owner plans on keeping the original third floor steel casement windows. The new windows have three panes on each window to look more similar to the original. The contractor and owner mentioned they would like to replace the storm and exterior door east of the front door as well. Steve Szaday Historic Preservation Inspector 0
