Historic Renovation Porch Addition in Potter Highlands
The owners of a turn of the century (1900) Victorian home in the historic Potter Highlands Neighborhood have retained Bacon Lane Architect LLC, Connecticut Architect to explore an historic renovation applicable for a front porch design to provide a front sitting patio or covered porch, a front door entry protected from the weather, and second story balcony accessed from an existing unused doorway.
It appears that the home did have a two story front porch at one time but no records of this can be found. Similar homes in the area have various porch designs both new and old. Preliminary conversations between the owner and the States Planning Department, Historic Landmark Preservation indicate that no specific historic renovation design will be required although it will be expected that the proposed design is appropriate to the home and neighborhood architecture.
