TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Demi Laney, Planner I
SUBJECT: A request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to remove shutters, reduce and
replace two front windows.
TWIN 11
STAFF REPORT
Taha Kahn, property owner, reduced and replaced the two front windows and removed the
shutters from the house located at 2225 Pecos Street without the benefit of a CA. Mr. Kahn
requests to keep those changes, per your approval. The original windows were larger and
contained an eight over eight profile. The new windows are reduced in size and have a six over
six profile. The shutters have also been removed from the house.
This house is categorized as a Craftsman style home. The original larger windows appear to be
more appropriate for a Craftsman style house in accordance with photos demonstrated in A Field
Guide to American Douses (McAlester et al., pg. 456-457). The examples listed in the book all
display the front windows to be of larger size, but do reveal that shutters are not typical of this
style home.
Staff recommends denial of Mr. Kahn's request to reduce the size of the two front windows.
Staff does recommend approval to allow the removal of shutters conditional to painting the
exposed siding to match the rest of the house and installation of trim to match original.
The house is not listed in the SPARE survey.
Exhibits are attached.

FRONT -GABLED ROOF
1. Holmes County, Florida; tgtos. Here a Craftsman porch is attached
to a simple folk form.
2. Canton, Mississippi; tgtas. The porch roof is a separate gabled ele-
ment in this very common version of the subtype.
3. Lexington, Kentucky; tgtas. Note the doubled porch supports set on
a closed porch railing. There is a section of hipped roof in the front with a
gable above.
4. Kansas City, Missouri; rgtos. This stucco example has three front
facing gables, all with half-timbered detailing,
5. Jackson, Mississippi; rgios. This photograph emphasizes the trian-
gular knee braces commonly used in the gable ends of Craftsman houses..
The slightly tapered porch -roof supports,extending from ground level, are
of irregular brick masonry. Note how the main roof extends over the
porch.
6. Kansas City, Missouri; tgtas, A large two-story example of stone and
stucco. The gable encompassing the entire second story is unusual.
7c Emporia, Kansas; tgtos. This is a more typical two-story form than
Figure 6. Note the matching roof -support columns and gables over the
entry and porre cochere.
8. Pasadena, California; 1906. Bentz House; Greene and Greene, archi-
tects. An early construction photograph of a relatively small-scale design
by the masters of the style.
