Audubon Place

Setting

---

The setting of a house – how it is located on and sized to fit a lot – should also be compatible with the rest of the historic district. Most homes in Audubon Place are one or two stories in height and set back 20 feet from the street. Garages or carports are detached, located behind the house at the rear half of the lot, and accessed via driveways.

When considering a building project within the Audubon Place Historic District, please refer to this chart. It shows which setting-related elements are compatible and which are not. Definitions of common terms can be found in the glossary.
