Kostura, Mills Act nomination for 731 Edgewood Road, Redwood City cut stones. The patio is surrounded on three sides by plantings, including a large oak tree and two redwood trees. The patio and small plantings clearly date to recent decades, while the dates of the trees is unknown. The house The main part of this house was built in 1936. In 1968, a major rear addition was built which included a new north wing. This north wing spanned the space between the old house and the original garage, connecting the two structures. In the late 1990s or around 2000, the original garage was remodeled to become a family room. All of this new work — the north wing, other rear additions, and the remodeling of the original garage — employed wooden siding that matched that used in the old house, resulting in a certain continuity of exterior materials. The old part of the house The old part of the house is two stories in height, wood framed in construction, and rectangular in footprint. The main block is 40 feet in width by 26 feet in depth, and this is fronted by a two- story porch and balcony that is six feet in depth. The roof is side-gabled, and extends forward to cover the porch/balcony. The roof’s old shake shingles were replaced in 1996 and again in 2015 by new shingles that resemble wooden ones. These roof shingles are only barely visible from vantage points on the property itself, but they are more clearly visible from across the street. The siding is of two materials. The first story is red brick with splotches of white paint on all three sides, while the second story is clad in clapboard siding, painted white. In composition, the main facade is symmetrical, with evenly-spaced openings. In both stories, windows flank a door that opens onto the porch (in the first story) and onto the balcony (second story). The south side of the house with its side gable is also highly visible. There, the composition is also symmetrical, with three windows in each story. In the front, the porch and balcony feature a range of six posts with chamfered corners in each story. In the second story, a profiled railing is supported by picket balusters. The floor or deck is brick in the first story and wooden in the second. Wooden beams that support the second floor deck, and the wooden rafters of the extended roof, are visible from below. All of the windows in the first story of the old part of the house have six-over-six wooden sash with wooden muntins, ogee lugs (sometimes known as dog ears or lambs’ tongues) in the bottom rail of the upper sash, profiled frames, and wooden sills. In the second story, windows have replacement wooden sash with what appears to be metal cladding. The new sash replicates the original six-over-six arrangement, with a reveal between the upper and lower sash, and muntins with some profiling, but without the ogee lugs; and are set in original openings, with wooden frames and sills. All of these windows — in both stories — are flanked by wooden shutters that are painted black. 3 9.A. - Page 72 of 247 330
