BAR approves enclosure of rear porch at 108 Rutherford, urges window preservation where possible
Summary
The board approved a rear porch enclosure at 108 Rutherford and encouraged the applicant to preserve or repair original windows where feasible, allowing new windows on nonvisible rear elevations.
The applicant for 108 Rutherford sought permission to enclose a rear portion of an existing wraparound porch and to clarify window strategy for ten original windows on the visible porch side. The board discussed reuse of original sashes and the option to install full wood‑clad SDL windows on the new rear addition while preserving visible historic fabric where possible.
During discussion the applicant said he would leave original windows where practicable and use new windows on the addition, and the board voted to approve the addition and noted that the applicant can return if additional changes are later requested. "I requested to go ahead and replace all 10 of those windows," the applicant said as part of the exchange about repair and reuse options; board members urged prioritizing preservation of visible historic windows when structurally feasible.
