HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said Northwestern Mutual recently bought the building and are working on un-doing some prior work done that wasn't historic. The only original windows are on the top floor; all of the other windows are non-historic. The current proposal for the top floor is better than what was previously proposed. For the lower floors, they are doing their best to replicate the original windows, although no records exist of what they were, so they are doing their best with moldings appropriate to the period. Staff would like that windows go all the way down to the floor level, which Northwestern Mutual did say was possible. They are also proposing new doors for the Prospect Avenue frontage. Staff recommends with conditions detailed in the staff report.
Amber McCracker and Angel Cervantes - architects - the Wells St. door was replaced, but will retain the leaded glass above them. They will match the historic character.
Kevin Kennedy - Northwest Mutual - they are studying various options and don't know what they are going to re-purpose this building into. Holton Bros. will be doing the masonry work, which staff will periodically be reviewing.
