Stapp designed Tudor Revival house in <br />1927. It was vacant for a year before it was purchased by Raymond and Sarah <br />Boner in 1929. Mr. Boner was a typist for Studebaker Corp. In 1931 the Boner <br />family sold the house to Cecil M. and Electa L. Sennett. Cecil Sennett was a <br />physician with offices in the Sherland Building. The house continued to <br />exchange hands on a relatively regular basis until the current owners. Mr. and <br />Mrs. Howell purchased the property in 1993. <br />PROPOSED CHANGE <br />Applicant proposes to replace rear prime door with similar steel door same <br />lite pattern to resemble existing wood door. <br />STANDARDS <br />The Preservation Guidelines for East Wayne Street state: <br />b).:..The Guidelines for the East Wayne Street District follow the <br />Rehabilitation Model.... <br />TI.C.1 Required <br />Original windows and doors, including sash, lintels, sills, shutters ..... <br />shall*be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and <br />trim resembling the original. <br />II.C.3 Prohibited <br />Original windows, doors and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be <br />restored and reused in place. Inappropriate new window or door features such <br />as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of original <br />windows and doors may not be installed. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The owner proposes to replace an existing rear entry door which is not visible <br />from the public thoroughfare with a new entry door. The door to be removed is <br />a wood "Dutch door" which may have been fabricated using the upper portion of <br />a standard six panel door as its lower section with a 9 lite window Panel as <br />the upper section. This might also be a factory or mill design for such a <br />sectionally divided door. The replacement door is to be an embossed metal <br />insulated door with a glass with two vertical panels below and a window panel <br />above with a 9 lite wood grill insert. Being in a discreet location and <br />providing nominal similarity of design the Staff recommends approval of the <br />replacement door in this instance. <br />DBD <br />9/101/97 <br />
