Permit

Recommendation

The Commission regrets that replacement windows were installed prior to review and without a permit. Recommend AGAINST issuance of permit for existing and proposed replacement windows which are not appropriate to this historic building and adversely impact its character. Recommend AGAINST issuance of permit for proposed alterations to porch and facade at entrance. Original structural glass must be repaired or replicated. A separate permit application for replacement windows using steel double-hung or casement windows with detailing to match original must be submitted prior to 14 August 2008 deadline for review at the Old Georgetown Board meeting of 4 September, to bring windows into compliance. Recommend further study to replace existing porch canopy.
