FROM: Adina Ward, Planner II
SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to replace 6 windows.
FILE: CA-2431
STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends denial of the request.
Estella Wendt has asked to replace 6 windows in the property located at 2254 Liberty.
The existing windows are 9 over 1 design. The windows Mrs. Wendt is requesting to use
are 1 over 1. The multi-light over single pane construction is typical of Craftsman style
construction. The house has maintained the majority of its original Craftsman style
character over the years, replacing the windows with single pane over single pane would
not be a sympathetic change.
The house is listed in the 1989 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house
was built c. 1925. The house is listed as a representation of the local adaptation of the
Craftsman style and of larger middle class housing built in Beaumont during the first
decades of the century.
Exhibits are attached.
