description_raw: NCDAC - FRONT FACADE RENOVATION
  Restore the facade of 408 Diana Street to a style more appropriate to the original house. Work includes installing new 6-over-6 light wood windows in the two center openings and two new front doors with transom windows in the outer openings. One of the original front doors was removed in an earlier renovation and all the openings shortened. The original weatherboards were previously replaced with inappropriately wide, wood textured Hardiplank. Remove existing weatherboards and replace with smooth finish Hardiplank with a 4 1/2" exposure. Window and door trim shall be 4 1/2" wide and windows shall have true sills. The front columns were replaced with 4x4 posts. Box out the posts and trim as shown in elevation drawing. Add wood handrails on porch and at stairs. Add gutters and downspouts. Paint house exterior. See elevation drawing for more information.
