STAFF REPORT
Mr. and Mrs. George Blake, applicants, are requesting a certificate of appropriateness for
exterior renovations at 1785 North St. The work involves replacing the asphalt tile roof
with composition shingles and the installation of vinyl siding over the existing "117"
siding. The vinyl siding will be a pale blue or light gray with white trim. In addition, the
applicants are reinstalling porch rails. The tiles on the porch roof were replaced with
composition shingles sometime in the past.
Mr. and Mrs. Blake also own the house next door at 1775 North. It is their intention to
renovate both structures. Both structures had foundation problems and have been leveled.
The 1990 SPARE Beaumont stated that this structure was built c. 1925 and is of the
Vernacular Craftsman style. It is typical of middle class housing built during the 1920's.
At the time of the survey, it was noted that the house was sagging slightly.
A certificate of appropriateness had been granted for this structure. At that time, Staff was
unaware of the type of roof and siding that was on the house. Upon further investigation,
the City issued a stop work order and put the request on the Historic Landmark
Commission agenda.
Exhibits are attached.
