4/14/20250 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ADOPTED

Minutes note: Ms. Emma Rudd said they did a site walkthrough with the state preservation office on April 9th and are well on their way for their final decision. They are kicking off their fundraising campaign in May to raise funds for Phase I. The building is currently boarded up and the roof is tarped and there was no water infiltration over the winter. The goal is to be completed entirely by November 2026. They want to move the Historic Preservation offices into the building, which would leave 1,000 square feet for private lease on the first floor. Ms. Keating Kahn moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to grant the mothball for another 6 months,

10/7/20240 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ADOPTED

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the orders relate back to the original fire of 2013; some is fixable in short order and for some work, mothball status is needed. They are attempting to have major structural work done by July and occupancy by March 2026. Mr. Askin said that the easier work should be completed by the time they report back in six months. Claude Krawczyk - Milwaukee Preservation Alliance - acquired the building January 31st; it was donated to them. They are in the process of shoring up the foundation and covering the roof for the winter and will board up windows that are missing. Their budget is $3 million. They are just beginning the project; there is no evidence of their work on the exterior of the building. Grant, with a 6-month update.
