Wood Portico: As viewed from ground level, the wood portico appears to be in fair condition with evidence of cracking and paint peeling. Below the portico, the wood soffit shows evidence of cracking and warping. During the site visit, a substantial yellowjacket nest was located behind the soffit. The wood balustrade wraps around the top of the portico and is in poor condition with areas of major splintering, and multiple areas where the bare wood is exposed. An attempt at protecting the top of this wood was made at some point in the past with the addition of metal exterior roof caps that cover the tops of the rails. In general, the portico roof eaves and soffits appear are in good condition. The brackets and wood detailing appears intact, with little evidence of rot or damage. The metal gutters and downspouts around the building are in poor to fair condition. The exterior wall finish around the attic is in fair condition. A few areas have paint missing, and some weathering, but most finishes have little to no damage.
