This CoA application is for several projects related to rehabbing the exterior of 738 Leland Ave, <br />formerly 714 Leland Ave. <br /> <br />This house was built in 1892 and <br />became a duplex at some point in the <br />1930s or 1940s, at which point a <br />second front door was added. Per <br />the 1899 Sanborn Fire Insurance <br />map, it originally had a wraparound <br />front porch. By 1917 the stables had <br />been demolished and apparently <br />replaced by a garage of roughly the <br />shape and size as the one that exists <br />today. The wraparound front porch <br />was still in place, and a one-story <br />enclosed back porch/mudroom had <br />been built. At unknown dates after <br />that, a second story was added to the <br />enclosed back porch; an additional <br />bumpout was built to cover the <br />basement stairs entrance right next to the back porch; and the front porch was demolished, <br />with the section on the side of the house enclosed. My working assumption is that most of this <br />happened when the house was duplexed. A neighbor recalls that the wraparound porch was <br />gone when she moved to the neighborhood about 1960. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 1 1899 Sanborn map showing wraparound porch, no back porch, stables <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2 1917 Sanborn map showing wraparound porch, garage, 1-story back porch addition
