BACKGROUND: To address the inappropriate metal -clad wood casement windows that were installed in the house at 510 Smith Street, a landmarked property located in the College Street Residential Historic District without a building permit or approved Certificate of Appropriateness, the home owner John Gentry has offered to modify the casement windows. The Design Guidelines for the College Street Residential Historic District require that replacement windows match the appearance of the original windows and window framing and lites configurations be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. Casement windows are an inappropriate replacement option for the house as they open outward from one side, and do not match visually the original single hung windows of the house which slide up and down. The casement windows installed in the house have one outward opening sash with one panel of glass, while the original window sash had two panels of glass divided by a "meeting bar". There are nine street facing windows that are visible that impact the Street View of the house (see attached photos).
