HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| PLACED ON FILE
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the St. Catherine Residence was created in 1966 by Sisters of Mercy taking over an apartment building and a large front porch was added. Residents did not need to be Catholic, but attending some type of religious services. This is the only woman-only hotel. This was nominated by Mercy Housing, which operates the building. They have covered 3 sides in corrugated metal siding, all windows are now vinyl, removed all the metal screens on the front windows and the private rooms have no historic integrity. Since 1971, the historic features have all been removed. Staff does not think this building is intact enough to justify the Commission's support. One of the aspects of integrity is "setting" and they demolished two Queen Anne buildings to put up the apartment building.
Mr. Jarosz moved to not support this nomination, seconded by Ms. Peltz. No objections. | Pass | 6:0 |
