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.
