Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. The project complies with Standard No. 4. The existing brick wainscot and cladding of the entry porch are not original to the house, but have acquired historic significance in its own right and will be retained and preserved. The proposed addition and renovations will not affect or duplicate the existing brick cladding. Although the detached garage’s roof-form and dormer features exemplifies character defining features of the architectural style, the existing garage doors were previously altered and the proposed replacement will not affect the historic significance of the property. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. The project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will be preserved. The project does not propose to remove character- defining features or materials/finishes along the primary elevation. The project does propose to add to the rear and side of the house, which will remove windows and doors along secondary elevations. Windows will be reused, as feasible, and new wood windows and doors will be compatible with existing features. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Standard 6 does not apply as the proposed project does not deal with issues of deterioration of existing materials or replacement of existing features. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. Standard 7 does not apply as the project will not involve chemical or physical treatments on the building and will be in full compliance with the Standards. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Standard 8 does not apply as there are no known archeological resources onsite. Historic Resources Commission 1 – 62 9/8/2022
