Queen Anne, c.1910
One-story frame residence with a hipped roof with projecting gables, an exterior clad in asbestos shingle siding, and a brick foundation
1. 1909 Washington Ave is a contributing resource to the Edgewood-Park City and the local overlay. The NRHP nomination notes a one-story frame garage with composition siding; the existing secondary structure is a one-story, CMU garage with a CMU exterior.
2. All work is concentrated on the secondary structure; no work is proposed for the main house.
3. Overall, the proposed scope of work meets the design guidelines. The proposed roofing, windows, and door materials are appropriate for the context. Replacing the sliding garage door with additional transparency in full-light patio doors will contribute to the structure. No historic materials or design elements are proposed to be modified.
