A2H, PLLC Comments:

1. Modifications to existing structure

a. Repair / Replace the perimeter foundation wall and inner supporting piers using concrete

block with old brick veneer.

i. The proposed relationship between the brick veneer foundation and upper wall

shown here appears to be appropriate, reflecting requests made during the last

meeting.

b. Replace exterior siding with new painted wood siding matching 5” exposure of existing

siding on the older part of the house. Exterior trim details including corner boards,

window trim, decorative rake boards and attic vents will be reused or replicated to match

existing.

2

i. The extent of original siding to be retained is unclear in the drawings provided

and should be clarified before this work can be approved, as noted in the last

meeting.

c. Existing front porch will be removed and rebuilt matching current footprint, bearing height

and roof slope. New porch columns and details will be more appropriate to the home’s

style. The porch floor will use brick salvaged from the project. The doors at each end of

the porch into the flanking wings will be removed. They conflict with the roof and are not

needed.

i. In the absence of documentation of the original brackets, the proposed design

seems appropriate. Choosing to utilize detailing found in other decorative

elements to inform the new bracket design is a thoughtful approach and will

enhance the character of the final product. More information should be provided

on the design of the turned posts; like the brackets they should not be stock

material available from major home improvement stores and should reflect the

character of the property.

ii. It is unclear how the photographs of the proposed front entry relate to the

elevations provided. If the original front door remains intact and can be

salvaged, it should be retained. If not, the proposed door seems to be an

appropriate replacement, although the sidelights shown should not be used and

the transom should be limited to one that will replicate the existing condition.

Altering the detailing of this important part of the building’s primary elevation

would dramatically alter its historic character and presence when viewed from the

street.
