7.A. - Page 40 of 66 William Kostura, Historic Resource Evaluation for 970 Edgewood Road the flat -roofed entrance porch the wooden door, glass sidelight, and glass transom at the recessed main entrance the band of fixed wooden windows facing the approach to the recessed entrance the composition of wooden posts and large fixed glass windows in the projecting rear entrance pavilion original aluminum -framed sliding glass doors on the right (east) side of the house and in the rear elevation (to the left of the projecting pavilion), an aluminum sash window to the right of the rear entrance pavilion, and the tilt -up wooden garage door. The carport and garage do not have dramatic elements like the main part of the house does. They are nevertheless being included as contributing features because the carport is original to the building, the garage is an early addition (seven years later), they were both designed by Wadsworth, and they are made of materials compatible with the main part of the house. The doors and windows in the west elevation, on the east side of the house, are not counted as contributing features because they are not distinctive in their design and are on a side of the house that is rarely seen. The dark -colored anodized aluminum sliding door in the projecting rear entrance pavilion is presumed to be non -original. It is not a contributing feature, because it is of unknown date and because it varies from the color of the two original aluminum sliding doors. The landscaping is pleasing, but is not being considered here as a contributing feature of the property for two reasons. The landscape plan (of unknown date) by Geraldine Knight Scott does not indicate which elements were existing and which were to be added under her direction, so it does not seem possible to know which were part of her formal plan; and because she is much better known for her public planning and public landscapes rather than for her private domestic work. It is possible that with further study some of the landscaping could be considered as a contributing element of the historic property.
