SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to remove or replace brick siding.

STAFF REPORT
Staff recommends approval of replacing the brick with a product similar in appearance.
Ernest Albert Wood has applied for a certificate of appropriateness to allow the removal
or replacement of the brick siding on the first floor of the property located at 2650 North
Street.
Mr. Woods would like to completely remove the brick and replace it with a siding that
would be similar to houses in the vicinity. Shiplap siding with a 3-4” reveal is typical of
houses in the area. The existing siding was never anchored to the structure properly and is
pulling away. Attempting to save the existing brick would be very costly and tedious,
and would most likely need to be supplemented due to broken, cracked or crumbling
bricks.
The house is listed in the 1991 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states the house was
built c. 1925 and is of the Prairie style.
