SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to paint the trim of a house.
FILE: CA-2500
STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends denial of the request.
Orlando Morris is renting the property at 2120 Liberty. The property owner is deceased,
but staff has been in contact with his daughter, Cathy Hadnot.
Mr. Morris painted the trim of the house without an approved certificate of
appropriateness. Ms. Hadnot has stated that as long as the paint receives approval, she is
fine with the color choice. The house is now white with red trim. Staff does not find
white with red trim to be typical of Craftsman style homes from the 1930's, here in
Beaumont. Craftsman colors are more muted and earthy.
The house is listed in the 1989 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was
built c. 1930. The house is listed as a good example of a local adaptation of the Craftsman
style.
