A Certificate of Appropriateness to renovate existing front porch columns.
Applicant John Bearg
Application Filed 6/19/2026
Staff Recommendation
Courtesy Review - no action required. That the request to renovate the four existing porch columns be conceptually approved with the understanding that the final design, as well as associated, elevations, renderings, and details are to be submitted for staff and Landmark Commission review.
Task Force Recommendation
Courtesy Review - Comments only:
Task Force recommended looking for ghosting to gather hints on what the columns once were and that should the applicant proceed with Rendering #1, it is not recommended to have two brick pedestals close together.
