FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II
SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to build a wooden porch and
reconstruct brick steps with wooden railings to match original in front of new
wood porch.
FILE: CA-2570
STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval of the request.
David Bradley, on behalf of Daryl Prejean, is requesting permission to create a front porch at
2245 Ashley, by building a wood platform over the existing steps. As is common with houses
built in this era, the steps lead directly to the door with no landing. This new porch would match
the existing posts and roof line. Mr. Bradley would then construct stairs to match the existing
stairs in front of the new porch. Wood railings to match the original railings would be installed
alongside the stairs.
The house is listed in the 1990 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was
built c. 1938. The house is listed as an example of middle class housing built in Beaumont in the
1930's.
Exhibits are attached.
