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 façade of
the original building.
Side Addition Set Back From
Front Façade
The one-story side addition
illustrated at the right is appropriate
because it is set back from the front
façade 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 façade
of the original structure and is
proportionately scaled.
