Once the structure was leveled, the existing steps to the side entry were no longer usable as they did not reach the door for safe entry. On February 23'" Inspector Randle noticed a small porch with a landing and steps was constructed without the benefit of onapproved Certificate gfAppropriateness orBuilding Permits. The structure is categorized as a Colonial Revival, with the asymmetrical fa�ade of the porch. The economic depression of the 1930's and changing postwar fashions led to simplifications of the design leaving out traditional grandeur details. Side entries appear to be common for most Colonial Revival styles. Information and examples can be seen in A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester et al., pgs. 321-330). Staff recommends approval of the request with the following conditions: 1. All applicable permits and inspections be obtained through the Building Codes Department. 2.

Some examples may be almost identical to their colonial (particularly Georgian and Adam) prototypes. Clues for distinguishing Revival copies from early originals are given below under Variants and Details. ASYNINIF-7RICAL—About io percent of Colonial Revival houses have asymmetrical facades, a feature rarely seen on their colonial prototypes. These asymmetrical examples range from rambling, free -form houses resembling the free classic, Queen Anne style (see pages 276-9) to simple boxes with asymmetrical window or porch arrangements. Prior to i goo this subtype accounted for about one-third of all Colonial Revival houses. After 19ro few examples were constructed until the 1930s, when irregular facades reappeared with less elaborate detailing. These were, in part, inspired by the desire for attached garages, '%%Ohich were difficult to incorporate within a balanced facade, HIPPED ROOF WITH FULLAVIDTH PORCH —About one-third of Colonial Revival houses built before about 1915 are of this subtype, which is sometimes called the Classic Box. These have a one-story, full -width porch with classical columns, which is added to a symmetri- cal, two-story house of square or rectangular plan. T,,%ro-story pilasters are common at the corners; dormers, hipped or gabled, are usually present. Doors may be centered or placed to the side. These houses have both Neoclassical and Colonial Revival influences, but lack the full -height porches of typical Neoclassical houses. HIPPL-D ROOF WITHOUT FULL -WIDTH PORO-i—About 25 percent of Colonial Revival houses are simple two-story rectangular blocks with hipped roofs; porches are usually absent or, if present, are merely small entry porches covering less than the full facade width. This subtype, built throughout the Colonial Revival era, predominates before about igio. On early examples, the colonial detailing tended to be highly exaggerated and of a,%vkward LEclectic Honscs., Colonial Revival In the years between 18 8o and is oo the Colonial Revival movement also influenced tWO other architectural styles: Queen Anne and Shingle. In the Queen Anne this pro- duced the free classic subtype, which grades into the closely related asymmetrical Colo- nial Revival house. In the Shingle style, the shingled %valls and rambling forms Nvere thought to evoke early shingled houses Nvith shed and lean-to additions. Moreover, colo- nial details such as Palladian %vindows were used in many examples. The Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 Is credited 'with first awakening an interest in our colonial architectural heritage. In 1877 the fashionable architects McKim, Mead, White, and Bigelow took a widely publicized tour through New England to study origi- nal Georgian and Adam buildings at first hand. By 1886 they had executed two landmark houses in dic style —the Appleton House ( 1883-84) in Lennox, Massachusetts, and the Taylor I -louse ( 1885-861 in Newport, Rhode Island. These important examples typify the two -subtypes that were most common before igio: the asymmetrical form with su- perimposed colonial details and the more authentic symmetrical hipped roof shape; de- tails in both tended to have exaggerated proportions. These early examples of Colonial Revival were rarely historically correct copies but were instead free interpretations with details inspired by colonial precedents. DUring the first decade of this century, Colonial Revival fashion shifted toward carefully researched copies with more correct proportions and details. This was encouraged by new methods of printing that permitted wide dissemination of photographs in books and periodicals. In 1898 The Amerlca?'t Architect and Build?'vg News began an extensive series called "The Georgian Period: Being photographs and measured drawings of Colonial Work Avith text." This was joined in 1915 by the 1,17hile Pine Series of Archl-tectural ilfono- g-raphs, which was dominated by photographs of colonial buildings. These and similar ventures led to a wide understanding of the prototypes on which the Revival was based. Colonial Revival houses built in the years between 1915 and 1935 reflect these influences by more closely resembling early prototypes than did those built earlier or later. The economic depression of the 1930s, World War 11, and changing postwar fashions led to a simplification of the style in the 1940s and '50s. These later examples are most often of the side -gabled type, with simple stylized door surrounds, cornices, or other details that merely suggest their colonial precedents rather than closely mirroring them. 5 326 Colonial Revival ILL,
