It features 5"wide No. 105 wood exterior siding. The original windows are narrow and placed in pairs on the front and side of the house. Window and door casing is 5"wide wood trim and feature decorative angled wood pediments. The original four-room house was later expanded with a kitchen/dining area addition on the west side of the house. The original front porch was enclosed to become a vestibule. A rear porch was enclosed to become living space. The original outbuilding located to the rear of the house was added onto several times, to senre as a workshop and as a storage area for antiques.

Nabby was well known in the area as a collector of"antiques." SITE Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rearranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, that help define the residence's historic value. SETBACKS Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buildings should be set back to a line that is consistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, a residential setback should retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right-of-way. Residential buildings with a commercial use in residential areas should be set back in a manner consistent with setbacks of neighboring or similar residential structures. Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns between buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES Driveways should be located perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the landscaped yard can be reinforced. New parking lots for commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the district. Off-street parking lots should not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preservation of historic character, and to the strengthening of the residential district. Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic District. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened to the height of car hoods. This will provide a certain level of continuity of the building fa�ade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. Page 6 EXHIBIT�TO��i � FENCES Page�„�of�D Histarically,fences around histaric houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Wood picket fences, wood rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were #he comman fence types in Grapevine. Traditionally, picket fences surrounded the front af the house while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portions of the property. Maintain historic fences. New fences. Simple woad picket fences, wood and wire and wrought iron fences are appropriate. Avoid chain-link fences, pr�vacy fences and concrete block fences for #he street sides of property. Wood .privacy fences may be allowed when ins#alled in the rear yard and behind #he frant fa�ade of a property. Utilitarian/pcivacy fences should not be installed in front of a histaric building or beyond the line of the front fa�ade of a historic building. Replacing fences. If replacement is required due to deterioration, remave anly those portions of histaric fences that are damaged beyond repair and replace in-kind, matching the original in material,design and placement. 1f replacement is necessary far nan-historic fences, or new fences are proposed, locate and design the fence in such a way that will compliment the historic boundary o#the property without cancea(ing the historic character of the property. ,-�� SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS �� Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. All garbage and equipment starage areas shauld be screened from the street. MechanicaE equipmen#, including sa#ellite dishes,sha11 not be located in frant ar camer side yards or should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so that they are not visible to pedestrians and do not detract fram the historic character of buildings. BUILDING FABRIC PRESERVATt4N Preserve, stabilize, and restore original building form, ornament and materials. Any missing ar severely deteriorated elemen#s may be replaced with replicas of the original. Ensure that roof, window, porch and carnice treatments are preserved, or when preservation is not possible dupficate the original building element. When rehabilitating, remove non-historic alterations. C}ften, "modern'" renovatians concea! the original #acade details, lf no#, the original style --� may be recreated thraugh the use af historic photographs. Page� EXHIBIT�TO Page of� Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the original style of the building may be used. Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the original design. Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation itself is worthy of preservation. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940. EXTERIOR FINISHES Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding materials. The apptication of such modern synthetic materials often involves the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed; removal of existing such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced with synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestos siding over existing wood siding is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original masonry surFaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe deterioration of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If the color or texture of replacement brick or stone cannot be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment. Paint colors should be complimentary to each other and the overall character of the house. When possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period; the right colors respect the historic building. The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, a paint palette(s) appropriate to the district's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. WINDOWS Original window framing and lites (panes of glass) configurations should be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Replacement of non-original windows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows. Page 8 EXHIBIT�TO�f�� Page�_of� Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the ariginal opening. Clear ar very sligh#Iy tinted w'rndow glass may be used. No reflective or heavi(y tinted glass shall be used. Should the owner wish ta instatl security bars, they should be installed an the interior of windows and doors. Storm windaws. The use of interior s#orm windows is encouraged. S#orm windov►rs are available which can be installed on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the e�erior historic character of the building. Should storm windows need to be installed an #he e�erior of the historic windows, storm windows constructed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes} are recommended. If inetal storm windows are installed, paint ta blend with surrounding elements. EMBE��ISHMENTS AWNiNGS-CANOPfES New awnings and canopies shouEd na# be installed above windows or doors. � �^�'� EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in residerttial areas. Fixtures should be cansistent w'sth the histaric character of the house. Apprapriate incandescent light fi�ures to the style of the district shauld be used. Avoid expased lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTtON tNF1LL The Secretary o#the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic dis#ricts encourage similari#y af form and materials, but not actua!replication. New construction proposals and the rehabiiitation of non-h'rstaric buildings wiH be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the compatibi(ity o# the design within #he context of the property's adjacent and nearby historic buildings. The design a#new buiidings should have key elements of the buiiding's historic periad of signi�cance including massing, scale, fenes#ration and materials. —� Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions, and appear as clearly contemporary. Only when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurateiy Page 9 EXHIBIT� Tp�6_� Pa9e� of a1-D replicated may a reproduction be considered. Infill buildings befinreen historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice fine and materials, to one of the adjacent buildings. Relate height of new building to the heights of adjacent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones. Horizontal wood siding (novelty, tongue and groove, shiplap or equivalent) and brick are appropriate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials shall never be used. ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS Additions to historic buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details. As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 20th century buildings where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be maintained. A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. if this is not possible, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building facade or a connection is used to separate old from new. New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent from the facing street. W�hen reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they should be replicated when evidence of the actual detail has been documented by photographs, drawings, or remaining physical evidence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photographs can provide information on the original elements of the building.
