HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said that in 1894 this house had no front porch and was owned by Lt. Joseph Berges and he then moved to the house next door. This was one of the brick-veneered cottages in the neighborhood. In 1982, a porch was built across the front and a gable added to the original cottage. Currently the house has boarded-up windows and the proposal is to completely re-do the house with clear cedar siding and all exposed brick will be repaired or rebuilt as required..
The trim will be repaired or replaced, as will the stucco and new sidewalk and railings. The house currently has no gutters, but did have half-round gutters at one time. A new dormer will be added to the second floor so bedrooms can be on that floor. The rear of the house will also be changed. A stair tower was also built in the back after 1910. The new second floor will have 2 bedrooms and a lot of kneewall storage areas. This house has been a concern to neighbors for awhile due to the lack of maintenance, criminal tenants and shifting ownership. The new owner is committed to bringing this house back to the neighborhood standards.
The new owner bought this at sheriff's sale.
Ald. Bauman moves to hold, seconded by Mr. Williams, so the alderwoman can be consulted.
Tamara Smith-Kroupa - 1918 N. 2nd St. - lives across the street - she's opposed to the dormers. Some of the house windows were open for three years and she's also opposed to the scale.
