Interpreting the Standards—Additions

The rehabilitation of this mid-19th century commercial building included a rooftop addition as part of the project. Though the building is only four stories in height, this rooftop addition is compatible with its historic character. It is set back substantially—almost halfway from the front façade and, thus, it is minimally visible from the public street and from within the district. High party walls on either side also help to reduce the impact of the addition and allow it to blend in with the adjacent roofl ines. This rooftop addition does not detract from the historic character of the building and, therefore, meets the Standards for Rehabilitation.
