HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness January 7, 2026 HR-2025-158116 Castle Hill Historic District 1114 West 10th Street 3 – 1 Proposal Rehabilitate a contributing property. Demolish a non-historic rear addition and construct a new addition in its place. Project Specifications 1) Repair or patch exterior masonry, stone, and wood elements. Remove incompatible non-historic interventions. 2) Replace non-historic metal roof and replace it with an asphault shingle system. 3) Replace window sashes with insulated units and screens 4) Demolish a rear, 1970s addition including kitchen and bathroom. 5) Construct a rear addition in a similar location, wider than original house. Addition is proposed to be two structures connected by a screened porch. Architecture This residence is a single-story structure with a front porch at one corner of the street-facing elevation and a projecting front room at the other. The house is elevated on piers with a vented crawlspace, and the walls are clad in white stone. There are several large windows present at the front, and a large gable roof hangs over the main façade. Design Standards The Castle Hill Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Rehabilitation or Alteration of Contributing Buildings Retain character defining features: Window frames are proposed to be replaced with insulted glass units. While the application calls for frames to match the existing in dimensions, there are no measured line drawings provided to verify exact dimensions will be replicated. Even if existing units are matched exactly, this would result is some loss of character defining features. The design standards also call for consideration of alternate options to achieve energy efficiency, including window fil,, weatherstripping, shutters, or interior treatments instead of frame replacement. Repair: Documentation of excessive deterioration at existing windows has not been provided. Design standards recommend repair practices unless material is beyond repair. Roofs: The application calls for the existing standing-seam metal roof to be removed and replaced with an asphalt shingle system. While metal roofs are not uncommon in the district, many (including at this property) appear to be replacements from outside the district’s period of significance. Asphalt shingles are present throughout the district, and drawings indicate that the roof pitch, shape, and form will remain the same. Masonry: Repair and repointing is proposed where needed, but further information would be required to find an appropriate mixture that does not negatively affect the stone masonry. Additions to Existing Buildings The design standards call for additions to not visually overpower the existing building. The proposed addition is located behind the house and, while it does project out from one side of the front house, it is smaller in size and is clad in different, yet compatible, materials. The addition is composed to two separate structures, one attached to the rear wall of the main house and one set behind that. They are connected by a screened porch, reducing the overall visibility. Materials: The cladding of the proposed addition is a horizontal wood siding, which is distinct from the white stone of the original house. The roof material, however, is the same as the proposed replacement asphalt shingle, which creates unified design above the walls. Proposed pitch matches the orignal roof structure. 3 – 2 Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. Staff Recommendation Approve the Certificate of Appropriateness. Location Map 3 – 3 Property Information Photos 3 – 4 Permit application, 2025
