HEMA No. 2023-09 – The Yeary House (419 West 19th Street) March 7, 2024 Page 6 4 0 2 0 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The new rear addition will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property. The majority of the proposed addition is located at the rear (north) façade in an area that is not readily visible from the public right-of-way as it is below the existing roofline. Important spatial relationships characterizing the Colonial Revival/Craftsman Bungalow architectural style will not be disturbed as the addition is positioned to the rear of the existing house. The materials of the rear additions will be differentiated from the original building, as they will incorporate wider horizontal wood siding. Although the new windows at the rear (north) façade will be similarly designed as the historic windows with the same window trim and materials to match, they will still read as contemporary yet compatible due to their placement on the non-original facades. The northwest addition’s size, scale, proportion, and massing will be compatible with the historic residence as it will be located at the rear, the roofline will be lower than existing, and the new roof will incorporate architectural elements such as decorative corbels and a gable roof to match existing. Similarly, the laundry and attic area at the rear (north) façade will also be compatibly designed with a new gable roof to match the original in pitch and massing; however, the new covered porch and laundry will be incorporated as part of the new design. The covered porch’s support post will be understood as a new building feature through a simple column design void of brick to differentiate it from the primary façade porch columns. The garage door’s wood material shall compatibly reference the Colonial Revival/Craftsman Bungalow style’s wood features. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project is considered generally reversible, as it does not remove essential aspects of the building’s form and materials. The majority of the project including the proposed addition will be located in the rear of the house, where it is not generally visible from the public right-of-way, and avoids the most significant and character-defining features. The essential form of the house and the vast majority of its historic materials will remain unimpaired.
