11/15/2015 6:15 AM by John M
The agenda for Tuesday, November 24, 2015 meeting of the Commission of Architectural Review includes a number of local projects:
- 725 N 24TH ST – Painting of elements on the front façade and installation of a plaque.
- 801 N 21ST ST – Install windows in existing altered window opening.
- 2604 E FRANKLIN ST – Replace deteriorated windows and rebuild side porch.
- 2606 E FRANKLIN ST – Replace deteriorated windows.
- 812 N 23RD ST – Construction a new single family dwelling.
- 814 N 23RD ST – Construction a new single family dwelling.
- 725 N 26TH ST – Construct a two-story carriage house.
BONUS: The previous house at 812 North 23rd Street was taken in 2007.
Question for the developer of 812 & 814 N 23rd Street new construction/infill in Union Hill Old & Historic District: why are the front porches so small?
Would you consider re-designing the front porches to be the width of the houses? Similar to you neighboring house on 23rd?
Thankfully, much of the new construction in Union Hill/Church Hill includes large front porches that allow for neighborly socializing and interaction from the sidewalk. Most of our older homes have that same feature i.e. “the friendly front porch.”
Please consider a redesign on the front porches. Thanks!
No, not referring to those addresses, as they are not on the 2200 block of E. Leigh St.
Please see 2208 E. Leigh Street for the example of a larger porch running across the front of house with side stairs access.
