Revision to previously submitted proposal. Project includes a roof reconstruction, including reconstruction of two existing dormers and addition of two more dormers, and exterior rehabilitation.

Existing house features a hipped roof with one hipped dormer centered on the façade (north) roof slope and one gable-roof dormer on the left side (east) roof slope. Proposal includes one hipped-roof dormer with two one-over-one windows centered on the façade, two hipped-roof dormers with three one-over-one windows centered on east and west elevations, and one hipped-roof dormer on the rear (south) elevation.

Exterior rehabilitation includes the installation of new windows (creating new fenestrations on some elevations) and the enclosure of others. On the façade, the center second-story windows will be enlarged. On the east elevation, three stories of paired double-hung windows will be installed on leftmost bay. On the west elevation, several windows will be partially enclosed or shifted in header height, along with addition of a secondary access door on the main level. Multiple windows will be enclosed on the south elevation.

Work also includes repair to existing porch roof, replacement of front door if needed, and repair/repointing to exterior brick masonry siding.
