4. Retention of Significant Later Alterations and Additions : Most properties change over time; those

Historic Architectural Review Board Meeting · 2026-06-18 · agenda_item

This item concerns a property located in St. Augustine where significant later alterations and additions are being reviewed for retention and preservation. The front porch was opened up and an insignificant addition replaced with taller steps to accommodate a new building height. A gable dormer was rebuilt to fit new framing, requiring a slight decrease in the overall height of paired windows. The rear kitchen wing, due to deterioration, had to be rebuilt while preserving its original design and scale. Minor floorplan adjustments were made, including shifting the home's stair to the front corner. This review is currently under consideration by the Historic Architectural Review Board. The project involves work such as structural rebuilding, framing, roofing, window replacement, and potentially interior finishing trades. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work should engage early, as plans and permits are still being finalized.
