The owner of the house is proposing to add a freestanding
carport to the property on the site of an earlier carport. The carport would
be composed of square brick piers and a front gabled roof. A storage room
would be attached to the rear of the carport. Proposed design plans were
distributed to committee members.
MR. ALSOP PRESENTED A MOTION SECONDED BY MR. JONES TO
RECOMMEND TO THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION THAT THE APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE MOORE-GOLDEN HOUSE, 1701 EAST 8TH
STREET, CHARLOTTE, N. C., BE APPROVED AS SUBMITTED. THE COMMITTEE

B. James A. Blakeney House, 9214 Blakeney Heath Road,
Charlotte, N. C.
The owner of the property proposes to add a garage and pool
behind the existing house. The garage would be based on a traditional barn
design. The bottom of the "barn" would be used as a garage and the upper
level would be used for guest quarters and as a recreational space. Proposed
design plans were distributed to the committee members for consideration.
Mr. Yelverton, architect for the proposed structure, said that lap siding
would be used on the new building. The committee members expressed concerns
about the height of the proposed building, the upper windows, and the ridge
line. Dr. Morrill reminded the group about the fact that the Secretary of
the Interior’s Guidelines emphasizes differentiation and compatability.
