Chimneys and Masonry <br />In most historic residences, the chimney was a functional part of the residence and serve as a <br />decorative architectural feature in relation to their design. Each architectural style of residence <br />has its own design that is unique. Masonry is also common at the foundation entrances and <br />porches. The use of natural materials, such as rock, stone, and brick, was used in the <br />construction of most of these elements. <br />Design Characteristics <br />• Replacement of the chimney and masonry shall be in-kind. The chimney should only be <br />replaced if it is too deteriorated to repair or poses a health or safety concern. <br />• Chimney and masonry shall be repaired where there is evidence of deterioration such as <br />disintegrating mortar, cracks in mortar joints, loose bricks, or damaged plasterwork. <br />37 <br />Resolution No. 2006-022 <br />Page 43 of 71 <br />
