The roof is hipped, and there is a gable dormer on the front facade which frames a bay window on the second story. Windows are mostly 1 over 1 double hung windows. The original, full-length porch was removed between 1966 and 1972. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant has requested approval to: 1. Remove the vertical siding from the front, lower story. Strip and paint wood clapboard underneath, replacing rotten pieces with new wood of same size and profile when absolutely necessary. Existing horizontal siding above the proposed porch’s roofline to be left alone. Installation of flashing as needed. [AA 2025-0530] 2. Replace the non-historic steel doors to front entrance, north side entrance, and rear entrance with fiberglass Thermal Tru doors with 6-lite. [AA 2025-0530] 3. Replacement of existing non-historic shutters with matching shutters of fiberglass. [AA 2025-0530] 4. Replace historic door to south side entrance with replica wood door. 5. Installation of replacement windows in window openings on dormers and side and rear of house with wood windows. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Doors: Pages 10-11; Windows: Pages 29-32. SITE VISIT REPORT: Historic Preservation Administrator Ross Van Overberghe and Historic Preservation Specialist Kate Himick were able to inspect the windows and previous window openings and door from the interi- or and exterior on several occasions. The existing windows are a mix of glass block, jalousie, RV slider, aluminum slider, cottage style single hung, double hung and fixed pane. The windows in the front facade first floor (3 & 4) and the front facade second floor (13 & 14) are in good condition and can be restored. Windows (1, 2, 5, 6, 11, 12 & 15) Are on the sides of the house and not as visible, they are in good condition and could be restored, however, cost of restoration may be greater than replacement with all wood windows. Window (7) is a fixed pane window in good condition but non operable. Window (8) is a wood hinged window in poor condition. Window (9) is an aluminum slider installed into a larger opening. Window (10) is glass block. Windows (16 & 17) are previous openings sided over. Window (18) is to be a new window opening. Window (19) is a Jalousie window in poor condition. Window openings in the attic on the two side dormers and front dormer have been sided over. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY Phone: 574/235.9371 Fax: 574/235.9021 Email: hpcsbsjc@southbendin.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Due to the varied styles and conditions of the windows in the house, staff feels that the non-comforming windows (8, 9, 10 & 19) are appropriate for replacement with all wood windows. Windows (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) are in ok shape and could be replaced with all wood windows without negatively affecting the integrity of the house. Previous window openings (16 & 17) are appropriate for new wood windows to be installed. Additionally, a new window installed at location (18) to allow for ventilation of the bath- room is appropriate. The Replacement of the original wood side door with an all wood replica is also appropriate. Staff makes a FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION.
