Board approves two new doors at 106 South Houston Street to separate entries for warehouse and loft
Summary
The board approved a certificate of appropriateness to convert a broken front window to a north-facing iron-and-glass door and to add a rear door with a cedar surround at 106 South Houston Street (case 2025-060H); staff recommended approval
The Denison Historic Preservation Board on Oct. 7 approved a certificate of appropriateness permitting installation of two doors at 106 South Houston Street, converting a cracked front window into an iron-and-glass entry and adding a second rear entry with a cedar surround to meet separation and fire-code best practices.
Staff described the building as having origins around 1885 with additions through 1945 and noted that the block’s continuous frontage reflects infill over time. The applicant asked to convert a broken window to a north-facing iron-and-glass door with sidelight windows for the ground-floor warehouse and to add a single-entry door at the rear with a cedar surround for a separate loft entrance. "Staff does recommend approval of both doors," the staff member said.
A board member moved to approve the installation of the two doors at 106 South Houston Street (case 2025-060H); another board member seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote. The board did not place additional conditions on the material choices described in the application.
