BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
Submitted for Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) review.
BACKGROUND:
The Subject Property is an approximately 7500 square foot parcel generally located on the east side of Sleight St. between School St. and Franklin Ave., with a common street address of 126 N Sleight Street. The property is zoned R2 (Single-family and Low Density Multiple-Family Residence District) and is currently improved with a 1.5-story Gable Front Cottage in the Queen Anne style residence, constructed in 1880. No accessory structures currently exist on the property. The principal structure is listed as "contributing" to the local Historic District and in "good/fair" condition in the 2008 Architectural and Historical Survey.
Prior alterations to the original structure include a shed dormer addition, replacement front door, exterior stairs and 2nd story window on south bay, and 1/1 replacement windows in original openings. A roofed porch previously existed at the southeast corner of the principal building as shown in the 1892 Sandborn map attached. This porch was later altered to be fully enclosed and interior to the building.
At the time of the 2008 Survey, there were several significant historic and architectural features of the principal structure, such as the front gable roof, historic 2/2 vertical wood windows, side gable 2 story south bay with cutaway corners, front porch with square piers, and historic fish scale shingles under the gable.
The home is an example of the Gable Front Cottage architectural classification in the Queen Anna style. The proposed improvements will not impact the overall architectural style.
