HEMA No. 2023-03 – The Titchenel-Catland House (419 East Wellington Avenue) July 6, 2023 Page 7 3 5 1 9 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. Standard 7 does not apply as the project will not involve chemical or physical treatments on the building and will be in full compliance with the Standards. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Standard 8 does not apply as there are no known archeological resources onsite. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The front porch rehabilitation will not destroy historic materials or features. All porch materials and features in need of full replacement (porch band, skirt, and posts) will be replaced with the same materials as existing, and those needing in-kind repair (porch decking) will be repaired with matching materials. The existing porch skirt is not original and therefore the new skirt will feature slightly wider posts that will be compatibly designed with the overall porch. Although the deteriorated posts and piers will be removed entirely, the new posts will replace the old in the same location (with the addition of a third new post to provide symmetry) and will provide a more compatible porch design with thinner post width to better match the residence. Important spatial relationships characterizing the Victorian Italianate and Craftsman style residence will not be disturbed, as the rehabilitation will not add or remove building or porch square footage. The new porch posts will be differentiated from the historic building in that they will not contain Victorian Italianate ornamentation or be overtly Craftsman in style, however their simplistic design will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. The project complies with Standard No. 10. The proposed project is considered generally reversible, as it is confined to the exterior porch only. It also does not remove essential aspects of the building’s form and materials. Although the proposed rehabilitation will be at the primary façade, the alterations are largely
