Board approves demolition and new 1½‑story Tudor at 11 Old Westbury Lane
Summary
The board approved a proposed 1½‑story Tudor-style replacement at 11 Old Westbury Lane; the applicant said the existing home will be demolished and replaced with a roughly 4,700‑square‑foot residence with stone veneer, brick soldier arch, board-and-batten siding and a three-car garage.
The Webster Groves Architectural Review Board approved plans for a new 1½‑story Tudor‑style residence at 11 Old Westbury Lane that will replace an existing house the applicant described as in disrepair.
The applicant said the existing home “will be demolished” and the proposed replacement would be roughly 4,700 square feet, with five bedrooms and an attached three-car garage. Materials discussed in the hearing include a primarily brick façade with stone accents (field stone veneer), a triple soldier brick arch over the entry, and smooth cement‑board board-and-batten siding for select gable fields.
Board members praised the design’s proportions and asked material and detail questions. One board member asked whether the arch was a brick arch; the applicant confirmed “the field is a stone veneer, and then the arch is a, brick arch. So a triple soldier arch.” The applicant also clarified the stone is field stone rather than cut stone and that the brick will be set approximately three‑quarter inches proud where indicated.
A motion to approve the project “as submitted” passed on a voice vote recorded as three ayes. The board asked the applicant to provide clearer material notes and larger‑format detail sheets for staff review because some material callouts were small and hard to read in the submittal. No legal authorities were cited during the discussion.
