Permit #: 25-31781-HDLC
Description: Demolition of over 50% of the exterior wall structure of a Contributing rated, one and a half story, multi-family residential building.
Staff Recommendations:
FEMA survey research estimates that the building at 4719 Tchoupitoulas was constructed from 1860-1870. The one and a half story Creole cottage, while altered, retains its massing and footprint of the original street facing building. The rear of the structure was first modifed between 1896 & 1909.
The proposal seeks to demolish the rear gabled structure and lean-to addition which is 54% of the total exterior wall structure. Because the rear portion of the building is not original, Staff recommends the demolition of more than 50% of the exterior wall under the proposed renovation.
Recommendation: Approve
Case History:
