Additionally, question the removal of a portion of the rear roofline to accommodate the proposed addition. b) The National Park Service Preservation Brief #14 for additions states “a new addition should be smaller than the historic building - it should be subordinate in both size and design to the historic building. A new addition should be simple and unobtrusive in design, and should be distinguished from the historic building.” Staff notes the proposed rear gable and dormer addition should be lower in height than the main mass.
