This queen Anne Victorian is a “potentially historic structure” in a historic district. With all this potential the only way to install a garage, while complying with the limits of the code, was to demount the façade and install a shaped, hinged steel frame. The facade was then reapplied to the new structure, a fully operable bay window that conceals a one car garage.
