STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends
Sidney Caywood is requesting a certificate of appropriateness to allow the replacement of the file
roofs with asphalt shingles on the house and garage apartment at 2290 Liberty. Mr. Caywood
states that the weight of the file roofs are causing structural problems. The house has been leveled
twice and has now sunk again. His contractor has told Mr. Caywood that if the file roof was
removed he could then put larger piers under the house to prevent further problems. Once the
file roof is taken off the garage apartment, a new foundation will then be installed and the
building leveled.
The property is listed in the 1989 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was
built c. 1925 and is of the Colonial Revival style with Craftsman influence. The house is
representative of a local combination of two popular styles and is typical of upper middle class
homes built in Beaumont during the 1920's.
Exhibit is attached.
