A
So
the
purpose
of
the
renovation
was
to
take
what
had
been
an
abandoned
and
overgrown
in
dilapidated
piece
of
Evanston's
history
restored
as
much
as
possible
to
its
original
condition
and,
to
give
it
say,
another
hundred
years
on
lease
on
life.
The
impact
on
the
property
in
the
community
of
the
project
was
on
a
couple
levels.
B
The
purpose
of
the
operation
was
to
provide
the
Gomberg
with
more
living
space
in
their
truly
remarkable
house
on
Central
Park
Avenue.
They
had
two
bedrooms
in
one
bathroom
and
now
they
have
three
bedrooms
and
two
bathrooms
and
I
think
the
addition
complements,
rather
than
clashes
with
bad
original
building,
which
is
a
landmark
injured,
deservedly
so
I
think
personally,
the
rear
is
as
presentable
as
the
front
I
get.
That
comment
I
like
to
hear
that
comment,
because
then
I
know
I've
done
a
good
job.
C
The
purpose
of
the
of
the
alteration
to
this
particular
house
was
to
replace
a
deteriorated
old
back
porch.
This
house
was
built
in
1865
and
the
back
porch,
while
not
original
to
that
house
was
certainly
there
for
a
very
long
time
now
it
flows
down
into
a
back
yard
and
have
a
patio
back
there.
It
really
works
much
better
in
terms
of
the
way
it
functions,
but
also
I.
Think
in
terms
of
the
way
it
looks,
the
impact
that
this
project
had
on
that
property
in
that
house
and
and
the
community
around.
C
It
really
was
to
take
a
wonderful,
beautiful,
vintage
home,
1865,
vintage
home
and
and
add
an
element
to
it
that
fit
with
it.
That
was
really
and
coordinated
with
the
intent
with
the
rest
of
the
details
in
that
in
the
home,
so
that
it
looks
the
same.
It
looks
like
it's
always
been
there.
That
was
very
important
to
her
to
our
clients
and
I
think
to
the
community.
D
So
my
husband
and
I
have
been
looking
for
a
home
in
Southeast
Evanston
for
about
a
year
before
we
found
our
house
and
we
really
loved
the
historic
nature.
The
neighborhood
and
we
wanted
to
be
close
to
the
lake
and
walkable
map
to
downtown.
But
we
also
wanted
to
live
in
a
home
that
was
bright
and
fresh
and
had
a
feeling
of
newness
at
the
same
time,
stick
to
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
historic
homes
that
we
love.
So.
F
The
purpose
of
this
design
was
the
owners
were
looking
for
a
way
to
keep
their
parents
on
site
and
we
were
able
to
actually
put
a
coach
house
next
to
them
their
main
house,
and
we
had
looked
in
the
code
and
there
was
nothing
that
said.
A
coach
house
couldn't
be
one
story,
and
so
that's
what
we
did.
We
did
a
little
copy
of
the
big
house
and
the
parkings
in
the
back
of
it.
F
This
projects,
impact
for
the
neighborhood
and
the
community,
and
the
site
was
interesting,
because
the
lot
was
so
large
that,
in
fact
it
looked
like
there
was
a
hole
in
the
street.
There
was
a
hole
in
the
urban
fabric
and
by
putting
this
smaller
house
next
to
it,
it
fit
that
in
really
well
and
it
keeps
the
rhythm
of
the
street
and
it
looks
like
it
really
belongs
there
like
it's
always
should
have
been
a
part
of
that
property.
So
we're
really
happy
with
the
way
that
that
came
out.
