APPENDIX

Historic District Guidelines

5. The skirting may deteriorate over time and should be repaired or replaced if missing or badly deteriorated. The skirting should match the original in design and detail. 6. Skirting of solid materials such as brick or stucco are discouraged because it changes the historic appearance of the house and does not provide the essential ventilation required for pier and beam foundations. 7. Cement board siding may be an acceptable alternative for ground contact skirting if installed in a manner that reflects the original design, detail and dimension.
