Approved With Conditions
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the proposal with the condition that the addition proposed for the east side be narrowed by 3 feet to be more in line with the existing house and reduce its prominence.Applicant Request
Additions; Mechanical system unit; Windows- The owners' proposal is to locate additions to the rear and sides of the house rather than revising the original floor plan. A three-car garage is proposed for the west side of the house, and is to be embedded into the existing topography. Additions with stucco sheathing to match the later random and rough stucco existing on the rear of the house are proposed. The additions are proposed to have simulated-divided-light-casement windows to match the configuration of the steel casement windows on the original house. The original steel casement windows are proposed to be repaired.
- There will be no removal of historic stone material from the house. Within the west side addition, the exterior stone wall will be preserved; however, a 17-foot length of a later stucco wall will be removed. The only historic material proposed to be relocated is a bank of 3 steel casement windows on the west side to be projected directly across from their current location to the new outer wall (see page 6 labeled "right side view"). On the rear, the sunroom, which is a later addition, and the kitchen chimney will be removed (see page 3 labled "left side view"), and a one-and-a-half-story addition is proposed in this location with a side gable facing the driveway. This addition will have a roof pitch to match that on the main house, stuccoed walls, and a bank of four wooden SDL casement windows to match those on the historic house.

- Style: Tudor Revival (1922)
- Glen Craig is a Tudor Revival house designed in the "Cotswald" idiom. The steeply pitched roof with multiple gables is sheathed in slate tiles. Tudor Revival moldings frame the front entry, and the steel casement windows are multi-paned with transoms. The stone veneer is rough-cut marble, apparently from the Craig's quarries. Rear elevation walls are stuccoed. A flagstone court is located in a recessed area at the rear of the house. A wood pergola is also located on the rear elevation. John J. Craig, III. had the house design and built as his summer home. The house was remodeled in 1926 by Charles Barber and McMurray, with landscape design by Charles Lester.

See Guidelines- 1. Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure, or site and its environment, or to use a property for its originally intended purpose.
- 2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its environmental shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
- 3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance shall be discouraged.
- 4. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure, or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and respected.
- 5. Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
- 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement or missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical or pictorial evidence.
- 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
