Brian,
I tried to find some photos of the house on Commerce from before 1966 but never could. I did meet Aaron
Ruby over there to get his opinion on the siding and front porch. These are our thoughts, I've shared them
with Stefan Vickery, also.
Siding --replace or retain the vertical siding. That kind of siding is not typical for 1890s Queen Anne houses,
but we couldn't determine that it is replacement siding and it's pretty old. We did find out that the house was
moved sometime before 1913, so it could be from then.
On the porch, we'd recommend not adding a spindle frieze and using smaller columns.
In general, we're against vinyl replacement windows, repairing is better in the long run, and if they have to
be replaced, wood is better.
Thanks,
Rhea
