HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Jakubovich gave a PowerPoint presentation and an overview on the proposed exterior renovations on the Bloodgood house. It is one half of a double house called the Bloodgood-Hawley house, and this building arrangement is rare in the city. The house was designed with French Chateau architecture, which was a popular design from the late 1890s to 1905 for very fine homes. Plans for restoration include new cotta tiled roofing, replacement of deteriorated sheet metal work, restored wood windows, removal of errant rain gutters, and work on dormers to match the original. The major proposal is for an addition to the rear and backyard of the building in place of the existing two story frame addition, which would be removed. The addition is set back from the property line and sidewalk, and it will be separated from the main house by a ribbon glass curtain wall. The dormer on the rear building and the three story flat roof tower would be incorporated into the addition. Restoration would be done on the exterior of the rest of the house with no alterations.
On behalf of HPC staff, Mr. Jakubovich recommended approval for a Certificate of Appropriateness with the following conditions: HPC have the authority to review and approve brick sample panels and roof tiles before installation of these materials.
Individuals appearing to testify in support:
Steve Wellenstein, AIA Uihlein/Wilson Architects
Debra Zins, AIA Uihlein/Wilson Architects
Mr. Jarosz questioned about the purpose of the glass curtain wall on the west elevation. Mr. Wellenstein and Ms. Zins both replied that the purpose is to expose the stairs and make it fire complaint.
Mr. Williams moved approval for staff recommendation of a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior renovations at 1139 East Knapp Street for the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation. Seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown. There were no objections.
Ms. Eisenbrown left the commission meeting at 5 p.m.
