TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Demi Laney, Planner I
SUBJECT: A request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to replace front door, remove
dormers and replace roof with shingles.
FILE: CA -3190
STAFF REPORT
Gerardo Loza requests permission to replace the front door, remove dormers and replace the roof
with shingles to his home located at 2255 North Street. Mr. Loza plans to paint the front door
SW6942 Splashy. The proposed front door has an oval-shaped, patterned glass pane window in
the door. He has provided a picture of the door he proposes to install, pending your approval.
Additionally, Mr. Loza seeks permission to remove the two dormers located on the front of the
roof visible from the street right of way. That area will be replaced with a roof matching the
pitch of the existing roof line and covered with architectural shingles. The architectural shingles
will be black in color to match existing. Please see the elevation drawing located in your packets
as a frame of reference for the appearance of the final outcome.
This home is categorized as a Neocolonial style house. Mr. Loza's proposed door, which
includes a large oval-shaped glass pane, seems inappropriate for a Neocolonial style house
(McAlester et al., pg. 489). Dormers appear to be a prominent architectural feature for a
Neocolonial style home (McAlester et al., pg. 489). Therefore the removal of those dormers
would hinder the historic preservation of this structure.
Staff recommends denial of the request.
The house is not listed in the SPARE survey.

NEOCOLONIAL (ca. 19so-present)
This style grades into the preceding Colonial Revival style but differs in
showing less concern for precisely copying Colonial prototypes. For ex-
ample, widely overhanging eaves and metal windows, both absent on more
correct Colonial Revival houses, are commonly used. Likewise, little at-
tempt is made to closely mimic original Georgian or Adam detailing" In-
stead, very free interpretations of colonial door surrounds, colonnaded
entry porches, and dentiled cornices are used. House forms, too, are sel-
dom precisely colonial. Roof pitches may be either lower or steeper than
was typical in original examples. Facades, although usually symmetrical,
also lack the regularly spaced patterns of window placement seen in Geor-
gian and Adam houses. The style has been continuously popular but never
dominant. It was overshadowed by the Ranch and other modern styles
through the 19Sos and '6os and by other Neoeclectic styles during the 'yos
and early 'Sos.
