There are many intersecting gables of the roofline and although each survey card, including the 1932/49 Assessor's card notes asphalt shingles, the gabled roof material is actually asbestos tile. The roofline employs a rake decorated fanciful non-structural barge board with pendills, the wide plain frieze, and brackets. A low hip roof entry porch on the east side has a dentilled frieze board and square fluted supports. Two chimneys punctuate the roofline: a small ancillary chimney at the northeast corner, and a large, centrally -mounted chimney to the rear. There are 1/1 wood double hung windows with wood sill. A gable garage with vertical plank siding is accessible from Manitou. ALTERATIONS: Although existing roof is asbestos tile, previous documentation (both the 1977 and 1987 sites and structures survey cards, as well as the 1932/49 Assessor's card) indicate that the roof is asphalt. The 1932 Assessor's Card indicates that the house was extensively remodeled in 1919. RME 2014-0520 allowed for the re -roof and re -shingle as well as the repair of the front porch. RME 2018-0703 (a companion to this application) allowed for the removal of the existing roof and its replacement with Landmark Pro Architectural shingles. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Remove abandoned external chimney." • 15
