28 Waterville Street Alterations (Enclosure of Existing Porch)

Portland

Description

The owner wants to enclose an existing non-historic side porch from 1977 to create a mudroom, keeping the existing foundation, posts, and roof with new clapboard-clad infill walls.

Impact summary

No change to the historic footprint or massing; the enclosure preserves the 1859 cape's form while adding usable entry space.
