Cross Gable House: 346 Marlborough Road, Brooklyn

Google Streets. Windows have been replaced with inset windows, so size of glass has been reduced. I'd prefer larger windows in the attic. The round spindles in the porch railing go well with the round columns. This house has bay windows on each side of the first floor. I would skip. An odd thing is the driveway is not on the same side of the house as the front door is on.

1940 Tax Photo. Stoop is still wooden. Better transition above upper bay window. Corbels under overhang are still present. I'd make the upper shingles fish scale. I don't like the shingle covered columns.

Rain Collection Detail. Note roof line has a little flair near the ends. The cross-wise gable is closer to the front. I would have a wider downspout. And all guttering would be copper.

Satellite picture shows that attic floor does not extend all the way to the back of the house.

Floor plans.

First Floor. What is important is the location of the stairs. I'd prefer it closer to the middle of the house.
Second Floor. The office becomes the master bath, the living room the master bedroom, the kitchen becomes a bedroom, and the dining room with WIC and laundry becomes the third bedroom. The storage room gets added to the adjacent bath. A hallway linen closet is created someplace.
Third Floor. The proportions here were drawn all wrong. The bath would be for a future bath. And I would think there is a way to split into three bedrooms with each getting a full row of three windows.
