SUBJECT: Request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace an awning with a new
front porch.
FILE: CA -3009
STAFF REPORT
Amy Elliott would like to replace a fabric awning on her home located at 2150 Harrison Avenue,
with a new front porch. The house is clearly Colonial Revival, see pages 331-333 in A Field
Guide to American Houses. (Virginia & Lee McAlester, 1984). The requested porch would
either fall into a Stick Victorian or Craftsman style, see pages 260 and 456-463 in A Field Guide
to American Houses (Virginia & Lee McAlester, 1984).
City of Beaumont Ordinance states, "Architectural detail. Materials, colors, structural and
decorative elements, and the manner in which they are used, applied, or joined together must be
typical of the style and period of the other buildings ..."
Therefore, staff recommends approval of the new porch without the porch braces. Removing the
braces will remove that characteristic which is not typical of a Colonial Revival structure.
The house is not listed in the SPARE survey.
Exhibits are attached.
