Background and Analysis:
The subject property is individually listed on the Olympia Heritage Register as the Campbell House (OHR-09-02) and is noted as "contributing" to the South Capitol Historic District as recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. The applicant has applied for a building permit (26-0563) to replace an existing wood framed window on the second floor with a new vinyl window for egress compliance.
The staff reports the significant historic features as: Original doors, wood windows (plus replacement wood window in front), lap siding, and chimney.
Climate Analysis:
Following the NPS guidelines encourages repair of historic material as much as possible, which reduces the introduction of more waste to landfills. If repair is not feasible, use of historic, often natural, locally sourced materials, is then encouraged, which reduces environmental impacts of the work. Replacing and renovating the windows provides an opportunity for the homes to be more energy efficient, while still maintaining the quality of design and the historic nature of the structures.
Equity Analysis:
The Olympia Heritage Commission is dedicated to improving the education and outreach opportunities to underrepresented communities. Every listing to the Olympia Heritage Register, Special Property Tax Valuation application, and design review project, is an opportunity for education and outreach.
