HEMA No. 2024-04 – The C.J. Young House (2208 N. Flower Street) November 7, 2024 Page 9 4 6 4 1 historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The project generally conforms to Standard No. 9. Although the project does not propose any new additions or related new construction, as discussed above, it proposes several exterior alterations involving the removal and replacement of historic and non-historic materials, principally windows and doors. However, the loss of character-defining historic features would be compatible with the historic character of the property and confined to the rear and side of the residence, in areas with limited or no public visibility. In order to preserve the historic character of the property, all proposed windows and doors, except for the wood panel front door and two horizontal wood doors along the north elevation, would be of metal fabrication (with glazing in the doors) consistent with the residence’s existing historical steel casement windows, with window sashes and trim and door frames painted to match the colors of the existing historical windows. Where sufficient documentation of the house’s historical design exists, specifically the east-façade focal window and, historical glazing patterns would be reproduced or approximated in the proposed features. Outside these two window reproductions, the new features are not intended to strictly replicate historical features, but instead to be compatible with the property and echo the historical use of steel, multi-pane windows throughout much of the residence. However, as doors and windows of modern commercial production, they would be inherently distinguishable from the historical features of the residence in their finish and glazing. No element of the project would alter any character-defining spaces or spatial relationships. 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. Standard No. 10 does not apply to the project, because the project does not propose any new additions or related new construction. Conclusion Staff has determined that the project, as conditioned, complies generally with The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. In addition to interior remodeling, the project proposes to remove and/or replace several doors and windows throughout the exteriors of residence garage and level the front porch with new compatible brickwork. Some aspects of the proposed project diverge from the Standards, specifically, the removal and replacement of the historic 15-light windows and French doors at the rear of the residence
