Built in 1926, it is a contributing structure to the West Line National Register District. A relatively modern two-story addition to the original structure was added to the back of the house in 1994. G i v e n t h e p r e s e n c e o f a heritage elm tree and the existing 43% impervious cover on t h e s i d e , w e l o c a t e d t h e addition at the second level. We have designed what we hope is a compatible second story addition that will fit well into t h i s h i s t o r i c d i s t r i c t a n d i n particular this street. Existing and Proposed Site Plan. Tree #99 is a 24” cedar elm. Existing impervious cover is 43% 1106 Elm Street Historic Application, page of 1 14 Photos of Existing House Street Elevation, facing east.

Proposed Materials Siding: To differentiate our Level 2 addition from the original structure (albeit clad in a more modern fiber cement lap siding), we propose using painted Hardie Shingle fiber cement siding panels with a straight edge. 1106 Elm Street Historic Application, page of 9 14 Trim: We propose to use smooth-textured fiber cement Hardi-Trim at corners, window and door casing and at the construction of the faux attic vent. Window Head and Sill trim: We propose to use Azek PVC products (in combination with trim above). 1106 Elm Street Historic Application, page 10 of 14 Water Table trim: Below the existing siding and above the new cementitious underpinning, we propose to use this Azek PVC product: Guard Rails: At the 1994 addition at second level we propose installing steel posts with stainless steel cables similar to this photo. 1106 Elm Street Historic Application, page 11 of 14 Decking: At the 1994 addition we propose replacing the existing decking (at the cantilevered balcony and the grade level deck) with Ipe wood decking. Rafter tails and exposed roof decking: We propose to match existing exposed painted rafter tails and painted wood tongue and groove or shiplap roof decking. We will install new gutters at the rafter tails at all eaves on the house. 1106 Elm Street Historic Application, page 12 of 14 Roofing: We propose using a composition shingle, Certainteed Landmark. Color to be determined. Cementitious underpinning: Stucco on lathe below water table trim. 1106 Elm Street Historic Application, page 13 of 14 Windows: We propose using Marvin Elevate double hung clad wood windows (without divided lights).
