Commission approves restoration of historic façade at 349 Lexington Street
Summary
The commission approved a certificate of appropriateness to restore the historic façade at 349 Lexington Street (Liberty Hill Landmark District) after staff found the sponsor exceeded a previously permitted scope; approval included conditions requiring material boards, mockups and a pre‑occupancy site visit.
The Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness on April 18 for restoration work at 349 Lexington Street, a three‑story Italianate residential building contributory to the Liberty Hill Landmark District.
Natalia Kwiatkowski, department staff, said the project corrects a violation tied to the removal of non‑historic stucco and proposes restoration of wood cladding, wood sash windows, a fully glazed wood door to match the historic entry, a carriage‑style garage door and wood ornament in conformance with Article 10 and the Secretary of the Interior’s standards. Staff recommended approval with conditions including submission of a materials board, a mock‑up for new exterior ornament, and a site visit with preservation staff before occupancy.
There was no public comment on the item. Commissioners moved to approve the restoration with the listed conditions; the motion passed unanimously, 7‑0.
Staff will monitor compliance via the required mock‑up and site visit prior to occupancy.
