Impact analysis
The owner noted matching the existing cedar siding exactly would be 'wildly expensive,' which is why fiber-cement alternatives and reuse of salvaged siding are on the table.
The Schwarzler household gains a restored porch and needed living space, and the historic district keeps a more historically accurate streetscape.
