What this means

Approved work included roof and siding changes, additions, accessory structures, and new single-family homes. Several approvals require design changes, including a balanced rear window, documented building heights, consistent foundation details, a revised porch projection, and a house orientation more parallel to the road. The proposed vinyl windows at 21 Baldwin Street were denied because vinyl is generally not approved in the Historic District.
