Downs Landmark or District Designation: Chapin Park Local (Ordinance #9574-05) and National Historic District Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: The house located at 605 Rex is a gable -front one and a half -story structure with original shingles in the gable and clapboard siding and corner boards. There is a full width screen enclosed porch with wood supports set on brick piers and rail with stone caps. There is wood and chain link fence along the side yard on the west and a stockade fence along the east side. ALTERATIONS: Original second floor street -facing window (described in the survey card as "very long paired windows in gable") was replaced sometime after it was photographed in 1987. COA 2008-0903 allowed for the installation of the wooden and chainlink fence around the rear of the property. COA 2011-0607 allowed for roof, soffit, and gutter repair following ice melt damage. APPLICATION ITEMS: "There is one modern, and inappropriate, window in the gable on the front of the house and we are requesting permission to replace it with a new all wood double -hung window manufactured by Marvin Windows of Wisconsin. The inappropriate window has divided lights and is vinyl clad. The new window will match the size of the opening but will match the composition and formats of the original windows. It will be painted to match the existing paint scheme, something which is not possible with the current modern vinyl window due in part to its artificial divided lights which are buried in the glass. "The new wood window will also receive a custom-made wooden storm window." "There are currently 3 modern coarse handrailings on the house. At the front door At the kitchen door At the back door "We are requesting permission to switch out the 2 x 4 handrailing for a proper beveled edge railing. In addition, we would like to finish the post with a cap and a simple finial or ball. (see photos)" 4
