21 Clay Street (Gravel Court) restoration and carriage house alterations

Description

The Wassenaars won approval to put wood shingle roofs on all three buildings, swap two 1970s rear gable windows for Mason-style windows, add three carriage house dormers, and more — all approved as presented.

Impact summary

Restores missing historic character to a pre-Civil War estate; the biggest visible change is six matching dormers on the carriage house instead of three.
