FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II
SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to allow rain gutters on a house
without fascia boards.
FILE: CA-2528
STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends denial of the request.
Derrick Morgan is rehabilitating the structure at 2291 Broadway. As was somewhat common,
this house was constructed without fascia boards. Rafter ends are visible in this design.
The addition of rain gutters would hide this design element.
The property is listed in the 1989 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was
built c. 1925. The house is listed as a rare example of frame-clad Mission-style buildings, and
reflects the Southwestern influence on architecture in Beaumont after the second Spindletop
boom.
Exhibits are attached.
