During its March 9 meeting, the Wrightsville Beach Historic Landmark Commission granted a certificate of appropriateness for 405 N. Lumina Ave., also known as the Ewing-Bordeaux Cottage, a historically designated property constructed in 1924.
The applicant, Walter B. Love, requested several repairs to the house including replacing bad pilings and related braces on the north side of the house, replacing a loose weather head and exterior siding on the eastern gable, replacing screens on the southwestern corner porch, replacing hinges and bad wood as needed on the eastern side doors, replacing the walkway and steps on the side facing Banks Channel and painting wherever necessary with the same colors.
Kyle Lackey, authorized agent presenting on behalf of the applicant, said all maintenance work would preserve the appearance of the original elements. Committee members agreed the work is necessary.
“If it’s not done, it’s going to fall in, it appears to me,” committee member Nancy Faye Craig said.
