FILE: pZ2023-392- STAFF REPORT Alberto Perez, is requesting a Certificate of Appropriateness to enclose and resize windows and change the front door tothe home located at 1955Lomg Avenue. He intends to change the front windows on the north side of the home from one large window into two 32x6O four (4) pane windows that are side by side. He intends to enclose two (2) windows on the west side of the structure, three [3)onthe east and two (Z)onthe south side making for atotal ofseven /7\ windows to be enclosed. The windows would be closed with alike siding tomatch the home. Lastly, Mr. Perez intends to change the front door from the existing solid craftsman style door to a craftsman style door with a1ransonn light. The home could be classified as a National style home with its gable front and wing. This style was extremely popular in the south and typically featured a hall and parlor type entry. Most homes feature a large number of windows with prominent windows and shudders along the front gable and wing.

A shed -roofed porch was typically placed withill the L made by the, two wings. Because these were relatively large and complex houses, most built in the pre -railroad era had Greek Revival detailing and were not folk houses. WitIl t1le coming of the railroadshoweverl abundant lumber ber and balloon framing led to an expansion of unstyled folk houses with this form.
