The port-cochere's shed-roof(also clad in composition <br /> asphalt singles) is supported by two squared posts. Centered in the elevation, the port-cochere <br /> covers the porch that Draper-Savage enclosed using multi-light casement windows and paneling. <br /> The entrance is a double-door accessed by a flight of six steps that also flare at the bottom and <br /> have curved handrails with newel posts. The raised-paneled,wooden doors are flanked with multi- <br /> light sidelights and a rectangular, six-light transom. This entire composition dates to Draper- <br /> Savage's ownership and renovations he undertook in the mid-20th century. Each wing is <br /> punctuated by a single,double-hung, six-over-nine sash window while the second story holds three <br /> double-hung, six-over-nine sash windows. None of the windows on this elevation have shutters. <br /> The foundation of the northeast corner of the rear elevation(as well as the below-grade,basement <br /> access steps and door) is obscured by a picket fence that encircles the HVAC system (Draper- <br /> Savage installed a heating system and indoor plumbing during his ownership). <br /> Section 7 page 10 <br />
