STAFF REPORT
Maria Velazquez is seeking permission to construct a two -car carport in the rear yard of her
home located at 2500 Angelina Street. The carport is to be open air on all four sides. The
entrance of this structure will face Duperior Street.
The carport will be made of wood with the same size siding as the main house. It will have a
shingle roof with the same pitch as the existing house to match the house that exists on the lot.
Additionally, the garage will be painted to match the home. The measurements provided by Mrs.
Velazquez's site plan obey our City's ordinance requirements in regards to our building structure
setbacks.
This home is categorized as a Colonial Revival style house. Examples of this style of home are
located inA Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester et al., pg. 339-341).
Staff recommends approval of Mrs. Velazquez's request to construct a two -car carport. All
appropriate permits must be obtained through the Building Codes department to construct this
structure given the Historic Landmark Commission's approval.
The house is not listed in the SPARE survey.
Exhibits are attached.

ONE-STORY
1. Greeleyville, South Carolina; ca. 19co. Wilder House. See the com-
ments on Figure 2.
2. Louisville, Kentucky; 192os. This is a typical example of the Cape
Cod cottage. Figure 1 is an earlier Cape Cod, which lacks the proportions
of the Colonial originals (note the lower roof pitch, oversized dormers, and
extra width and height of the front facade). The Cape Cod is the most
common form of one-story Colonial Revival house. As a form, it originated
in the early 18th century and continued with few changes through the
1950s.
3. Dallas, Texas; 1929. Randall House. This house has a formal, Adarn-
inspired entry porch and doorway.
4. Decatur, Indiana; ca. 1935. A modest asymmetrical interpretation of
the Cape Code.
5. Macon, Georgia; 1912. Stetson House. Note the lower one-story
wings; this finely detailed example, like Figure 3; was inspired by more
pretentious Colonial antecedents than the typical Cape Cod examples
shown in figures 1, 2, and 4. ;.

THREE-STORY
I. Cambridge, Massachusetts; 1900. John A. Hasty, architect. Not a
single-family house, but a triple -deeper (one dwelling unit on each of three
floors), this has the exuberant detailing associated with early examples.
Note the broken pediments on the roof and over the central second -story
window.
2. Cambridge, Massachusetts; 1916. J. W. Ames, architect. Figures z
and 4 are both modeled after the three-story Adam subtype that was popu-
lar in New England (see pages 163-4).
3. Richmond, Virginia; 191 os. A three-story detached urban house with
full -width porch.
4. Cambridge, Massachusetts; 19, t. President's House, Harvard Uni-
versity; G. Lowell, architect,
S. Washington, District of Columbia; 1915- Woodrow Wilson House.
6, Buffalo, New York; ea, z8go=1910. The Midway, A group of town
houses with distinctive detailing. Note the broken -pediment dormers on
the house on the left; the simple and more accurate Adam detailing on the
center house; and the entry porch, blind arches with swags, and roof.line
parapet on the house on the right.
7. New York, New York; 1909_1926. Pyne, Filley, Sloane, and Davison
Houses; McKim, Mead and White, Delano and Aldrich, and Walker and
Gillette, architects for various houses. A remarkable surviving row of large
attached town houses with detailing drawn from Georgian and Adam prec-
edents.
