Written Description of Work COA Application for 124 S. Boundary St Written Description of Work COA Application for 124 S. Boundary St., Chapel Hill NC 27514 With the help of the original blueprints, I would like to remove or modify some bad older renovations to return my house back to a more appropriate architectural look. Necessary repairs will also be performed. The work will be done in three phases. Phase 1 • Remove a large magnolia from the left side of the house. The tree has already damaged the foundation and is causing further damage. The stump will be ground down. • Replace rotted siding with similar siding. The exterior appearance will not be altered. • Address miscellaneous trees around the property. Dead ones will be removed. Stumps will not be ground down. Branches will be trimmed. • Convert about 150 sq ft of attic space into living area. Phase 2 • Remove deck and deck wall. Replace the carport side with pavers or stone. Replace the side towards the front with grass , a garden area and a walkway. The above ground drainage line under the raised deck currently discharges to a small ditch at the edge of the driveway. A new line will be buried or the water directed to the same small ditch by sloping the pavers. These changes will allow this side of the house to have a more original feel when the added external door is converted back to the original window design during Phase 3. • Remove damaged concrete driveway. Replace with pavers or stamped concrete. Phase 3 • Front Entry: The hanging light will be removed and replaced with a hidden or less visible light. The original blueprints do not show a visible light in this location. • Screened porch: The original blueprints show an open porch with only columns. The full length screens that are tacked on the outside of the columns will be removed. The screen door will be removed. That will allow the original columns to be fully visible again. Only if required by code will we add a balustrade and hand rails. If required, the balustrade will match the original balustrade that was used on the sleeping porch. It will be added between the columns so the columns will remain fully visible. • Door on left side of house: In the original blueprints this opening was a double hung window. The door will be converted back into a double hung window to match the original size. New matching siding will added to blend in the restoration. • Shutters: Based on the original blueprints, missing shutters will be added back to the windows on the entire house. • Carport: The current carport is out of character and unattractive. With a completely flat top it does not have any architectural ties to the house or the time period. It also looks out of proportion to the house. A decorative balustrade that matches the original balustrade on the sleeping porch will be added to the top of the carport. A door will be added for access from the sleeping porch/sunroom and a decorative fire pit will be put in the center. • Patio: A ground level patio will be added to the back of the house next to the carport. It will be constructed with pavers or stone. A statue or decorative fountain will be placed in the center. The existing brick walk will be removed and that area will match the patio. .

  • Revercomb House History - Sleeping Porch Construction by W
    Revercomb House History - Sleeping Porch Construction by W. F. Andrews Signature Found on Sash Window Frame during Renovation During 1 March 2019 work by Carpenters, Inc (Mark Biggs and Richard Evans) on the 711 McCormick Blvd “Revercomb House” side-portico sleeping porch a signature “W F Andrews” was found on the side of a sash window frame after it was removed for restoration. The window had been undisturbed since first installed sometime around 1925. Figure 1 shows the signature as found on the side of the sash. Figure 1 Signature of WF Andrews found on sash window Richard Evans’ father had worked in the old woodworking mill in Clifton Forge which is now home to Clifton Forge School of the Arts. His father made many of the sash windows found in the old homes of Clifton Forge. The signature on the sash caught Richard’s eye because of his interest in the local Clifton Forge window making history. He speculated that the man who signed the window frame must have been a carpenter who had built the Revercomb House sleeping porch addition. Originally, the top of the side portico was an open-air porch without a roof. Still, we wondered who was this person, “W F Andrews”. To find out more, research was done on the internet and on Ancestry.com. The results proved interesting and allowed current homeowners John and Debbie Strott to document changes made to the Revercomb House after being built in 1914. Figure 2 shows the Revercomb House circa 1926 with the completed side- portico sleeping porch.

  • A Report to the Mayor and City Council of Madison, Georgia on the Designation of the Finney-Land House As a Historic Property
    A Report to the Mayor and City Council of Madison, Georgia on the Designation of the Finney-Land House as a Historic Property Submitted by the Madison Historic Preservation Commission Prepared by Paul Trudeau Preservation Intern Madison Planning Department The purpose of this designation report is to provide pertinent information for the local governing body of Madison, Georgia concerning the proposed designation of the Finney-Land House as a historic property. As outlined in Madison’s Historic Preservation Ordinance, “the report will follow the guidelines for nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and shall consist of: (a) a physical description, (b) a statement of significance, (c) a map of the proposed boundary, and (d) representative photographs.” Physical Description The Finney-Land House is a two-story, L-plan frame dwelling built c.1805. The house was originally the main house for an extensive Antebellum cotton plantation including holdings in excess of 3,500 acres. The parcel has, over time, been reduced to the current two-acre lot with almost all of the surrounding landscape dominated by a monoculture pine farm. The structure is sided with weatherboard and covered with a cross-hip metal roof. One historic outbuilding (c.1910) and a small collection of landscape features (“objects”) are extant. The structure clearly reflects its three historic phases: (1) initial development as Piedmont Plain homestead briefly serving as Morgan County’s first courthouse, (2) creation of a Greek Revival visage as the center of an extensive farming operation typical of the upland-south building traditions, and (3)subsequent reduction to a small family farmstead and renovations featuring the Craftsman aesthetic.

    Master Bath Floats Anew An old bath and an unused porch are reborn as a modern master suite or a few months every year, a sleeping porch Fis the perfect place to spend a New England night. But when asked to choose between a part-time porch and a full-time, first-rate master bath, the family that owns this historic home in Newton, Mass., didn’t hesitate to appropriate the porch. Fortunately, sacrificing the sleeping porch offered plenty of space for architect Stephanie Horowitz to design a functional, light-filled master bath without adding to the house. The new layout uses a walk-through closet as a buffer between the bedroom and the bathroom. With a float- ing vanity with double vessel sinks and a separate shower and tub, the space has all the amenities of a modern master bath squeezed into a narrow room.

We also received and reviewed the above referenced reconnaissance report, prepared by the Department of Transportation's Historic Architectural Unit, for the same project Given the relationship of the two documents to one another, we offer our comments in. this single letter. The architectural report correctly lists and describes properties that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and those previously determined eligible for listing. It also provides a list of three properties with exceptional architectural merit, which were identified as part of a visual survey of 100% of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) and would require additional study. Because the survey work was only a reconnaissance level, there may be other properties in the APE that could be eligible for listing under Criteria A, B, or D and were not identified.

  • 1807 Enoree Avenue
    DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMISSION DESIGN REVIEW DISTRICT HISTORIC AGENDA EVALUATION SHEET Case # 5 ADDRESS: 1807 Enoree Avenue APPLICANT: Asheley Scott, 1x1 Design, agent TAX MAP REFERENCE: TMS# 11306-06-04 USE OF PROPERTY: Residential REVIEW DISTRICT: Wales Garden Architectural Conservation District NATURE OF REQUEST: Request for a Certificate of Design Approval for an addition FINDINGS/COMMENTS: This two-story brick veneer house was built c. 1920 and features a hip roof and a front porch supported by square brick columns. The overall form of the house is a two-story central block with one-story wings to each side and full façade front porch. While the overall form of the house has remained constant since original construction there have been changes minor changes to cladding and detailing. As documented in Sanborn maps, as well as “For Sale” advertisements for the home in 1922 and 1945, the east and west wings of the house were a sleeping porch/screened porch and a sunroom, respectively. Sometime after 1945 the screened porch was fully enclosed to resemble the west wing sunroom creating a more symmetrical front façade. The house is situated to the east side of the lot, creating a large side yard. The applicant is proposing to construct a side addition to the house within this side yard area. The overall form of the proposed addition mimics the form of the house with a taller central block flanked by wings. The addition would add approximately 838 heated square feet to the house. The applicant has suggested that the uniquely shaped lot allows for a side addition without a negative impact on the pattern of the district.
