Commission approves porch widening and low brick wall at 205 Toll Street

The Town of Easton Historic District Commission approved an amended application for 205 Toll Street that expands a front and side stoop into a small porch and allows a low masonry wall along the sidewalk.

The applicant described the change as a modest widening to create a small seating area and said materials would match the house foundation. "The wall would be, like, 18 inches tall," the applicant said during the presentation. Commissioners confirmed the porch would be approximately 12 feet wide as shown on the site plan and discussed whether the proposed brick should replace a wood design originally drawn by the architect. A commissioner described the brick choice as "definitely an upgrade."

There was no public opposition recorded. A commissioner moved to approve the amended application; the motion was seconded and the commission voted unanimously in favor. The applicant thanked the commission after the vote.
