HEMA No. 2024-04 – The C.J. Young House (2208 N. Flower Street) November 7, 2024 Page 3 4 6 4 1 sheltered by a broad roof overhang. Alterations to the residence are limited, but include the replacement of a steel-casement primary-façade window and three rear and side windows with incompatible vinyl and metal sashes. Visual observation suggests the sliding glass door on the north elevation is not original to the house. Located just northeast of the residence is the detached garage, which shares some of the design features of the residence, including a gabled roof, board-and-batten and stucco siding. It is accessed on the east by a non-original glazed metal roll-up garage door and on the north by a non-original wood-panel door. There is one window on the building, a non-original sliding vinyl sash adjacent to the wood-panel door. Character-defining features of the C.J. Young House that should be preserved include its L-Plan, cross-gabled roof with winged gable ends, board-and-batten and stucco exterior wall cladding, sidelight adjacent to the front door, porch with brick floor and porch supports with curved bracing, historic steel casement and wood sliding multi-light windows. Project Description The project applicants are proposing a series of modifications to the interior floorplan of the residence and several windows and doors on the exteriors of the property’s residence and detached garage. The project is mainly intended to adapt the roughly fifty-year-old residence’s interior organization to better serve the needs of today’s family. The reorganization of the interior space will require the replacement of several windows and on the rear and side elevations and alteration of some openings to accommodate the reconfigured floorplan. Window replacements will also address the deterioration of two historic windows on a side façade and restore the focal window on the primary façade to its original appearance and specifications. Finally, some work proposed for the detached garage would legalize unpermitted alterations. Overall, the applicant proposes to remodel the single-family residence to include demolition of partition walls and floor plan reconfiguration for kitchen, dining room, family room, primary bedroom and laundry room. Exterior work includes removal of existing vinyl sliding window for a new steel casement tripartite window along the primary elevation, removal of a horizontal sliding door for two new metal windows and a like-for-like replacement of two existing wood horizontal windows along the north elevation, removal of a wood horizontal window and swing doors for two metal casement windows along the south elevation, and removal one existing vinyl-sash window and two paired 15-light wood-sash windows along the west elevation to accommodate installation of a new window and a metal sliding door. The work would also include new brick within the porch area to level the existing brick floor, the removal of an existing window along the north elevation of the detached garage, and legalizing previously unpermitted changes to the detached garage, including removal of sliding door along north and west elevation. Along the north elevation, the property owner originally proposed to replace two existing horizontal wood windows and replace them with new metal casement windows. However,
