HEMA No. 2023-06 – The W.M. Bradley House (2120 North Heliotrope Drive) September 7, 2023 Page 5 3 6 7 6 introduce a new, compatible design to the property that avoids any conjectural references. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. The project complies with Standard No. 4. The project will not remove any significant features that were added over time. The north wing’s existing bedroom, bathroom, and garage workshop were originally permitted in 1952 as a rumpus room addition to the detached garage. The project will add a new internal connection between the 1952 addition and the main house. Although a single, glazed pedestrian door will be removed from the existing garage workshop, the 1952 addition’s form and massing will not be altered by the new internal connection, as it will continue to read as a separate north wing of the main house. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. The project complies with Standard No. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize the property will be preserved. The project does not propose to remove character- defining features or materials/finishes along the primary façade. The project is not readily visible from the public right-of-way and proposes to remove part of the rear (west) façade (including a rear porch and patio) in order to accommodate a new family room and a newly located dining room, along with a new mudroom and hallway connecting the two separate building wings. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Standard 6 does not apply as the proposed project does not deal with issues of deterioration of existing materials or replacement of existing features. 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.
