Good morning Katy and Brian,
I am currently searching through the nomination to see if there is any specific narration about the property or if
it is just in the inventory list. Will be back in touch when I find it.
Cheers,
Paul

This house is not individually listed, that is probably why it is not showing up in the National Park Service
database. I am not sure where you are looking.
Just to be clear, t is located in the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District, therefore subject to the
rules and regulations of the Historic District Commission. This commission reviews all buildings in the district,
new and old.
It is also subject to the conservation easement which was put in place by the owner at that time.

These are nice optionsto be aware of - I really appreciate your time. I am trying to find the details of the historic
register listing for the 1011 Scott Street house and do not see them included in the NPS database. Is this a recent
listing or is there another database I should check?
Thanks,
Katy

Hi Katy,
In terms of the conservation easement, it does cover all elevations of the house. On the modern addition to the
rear that the previous owner used as her art studio, those modern windows (if failing) can be replaced. On the
historic house itself, the original windows need to remain. You do have some options for improving the energy
efficiency of those windows though. You can add wood framed storm windows to the exterior or you can add
interior storm windows (a better option if you have an aversion to ladders and taking storm windows on and off
depending on the season) to improve the thermal insulation. For interior storm windows, I have a couple of
links to different manufacturers you can look into:
http://www.alliedwindow.com/index.html
http://www.indowwindows.com/
http://www.climateseal.com/preservation_window_inserts/preservation_window_inserts.htm
I also have a couple of links to wood storm window companies. The second one Spencerworks, integrates the
storm and screen into the wood frame so they can be opened and closed for the seasons without having to deal
with a ladder and heavy frames.

I hope you find these resources helpful in your research. When you make a decision on which way you want to
go with storm windows, I will need to review the project plan and provide you with a sign off letter for the
project. Please let me know what else I can do to help.
Cheers,
Paul

The Bragg Duplex at 1011-1013 Scott Street has a conservation easement on it. All exterior changes to the
house (and possibly the grounds) must be approved in writing by the coordinator, Paul Porter, at AHPP before
application is made to the HDC. His number is 324-9880. The windows on the side of the structure would
require a COA from the HDC before replacement.
I would suggest giving Paul a call shortly. I am including him on this email.

Thanks so much for your time. The house is at 1011 Scott Street. I am understanding that we can't replace
windows on the front but I am curious about the sides. Also, a part of the house is an addition and I'm under the
impression that we can replace windows there....
Thanks again,
Katy

Thanks for your question.
Each application is handed on a case by case basis. So there is not a stock answer to give you. Maintenance of
existing windows (repair) is something that I can sign off on as staff. This is what most people prefer. If you
want to replace your windows, that will require a public hearing which requires public notification of
neighboring properties, title searches, etc.
If you can give me more information about which house you are looking at, I can be of more assistance. Certain
houses have conservation easements on them which will require additional approval.

Mr. Minyard,
My husband and I are considering purchase of a home on 10th and Scott Street. The home currently has non-
functioning windows. We would like to strategically identify windows to replace with functioning windows to
allow for airflow through the home. It would be feasible to find replacement windows that maintained the visual
appearance of the current windows. Is replacing windows an option in the MacArthur Park Historic District or
is our only option repairing the existing windows?
Thanks for your time and input,
Katy Elliott
