             LOCATING AND DESIGNING AN ADDITION TO A CONTRIBUTING HISTORIC
             BUILDING
            An addition to a contributing historic building in a locally-designated historic district should be clearly differentiated
            from the original structure and be subordinately located and scaled as illustrated below.

            ORIGINAL STRUCTURE                  BIRDS-EYE VIEW                     STREET VIEW
            This one-story bungalow illustrated
            at the right is a contributing
            structure in a locally-designated
            historic district.






            SIDE ADDITION FLUSH WITH
            FRONT FACADE
            The side addition illustrated at the
            right is inappropriate because it is
            not set back from the front facade
            of the original building.






            SIDE ADDITION SET BACK
            FROM FRONT FACADE
            The one-story side addition
            illustrated at the right is appropriate
            because it is set back from the front
            facade of the original building and is
            appropriately scaled.

            ROOFTOP ADDITION FLUSH
            WITH FRONT
            The rooftop addition shown to
            the right is inappropriate because
            it is flush with the front of the
            original building and is out of scale,
            overwhelming the original building.




            APPROPRIATE ROOFTOP
            ADDITION
            The rooftop addition shown to
            the right is appropriate because it
            is set back from the front facade
            of the original structure and is
            proportionately scaled.
