6/2/20250 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION  

Minutes note: Mr. Andew Stern said this building was designated last year and the applicants are proposing rehabbing the property. The period of significance for the building is 1963-1986, when it was used by Milwaukee County for social services, not when it was a department store. The work will affect some windows and the decorative artwork will be removed and moved inside the building. A new entry will be added to the rear facade. The existing load dock will be removed and four aluminum windows will be installed. The basement level will become underground parking which will require the addition of a ramp. Overall staff is satisfied with the project and recommends approval with the standard masonry conditions. Ted Matkom - Gorman Company - they also intend to restore some of the surface parking lots near the building. This will be low-income housing with the county tenants providing services to the residential tenants.
