HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: This item was heard out of order.
Ms. Carlen Hatala presented the history on the building being nominated for designation, which moved to a new facility in 1919 on the east side. Although it was a Catholic institution it treated individuals of all religious denominations. The main entrance was created with the intention of creating a bigger, more formal entrance in the future. The hospital was top-of-the-line at the time. The facility, as intended, grew over time and an addition was added in 1931. A 1941 addition was added as well as a 1951 addition, which is closer to the street. The more-modern portions are outside of this designation.
Ms. Hatala feels the complex meets three criteria: e-1, e-5 and e-6.
Staff recommends temporary historic designation based on e-1, e-5 and e-6.
Cate Miller - nominator
Ald. Bauman moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to open a public hearing.
Melissa Spadanuda - with the UW system - building is state-owned - they purchased the building in 2010. It isn't feasible for residential use and there is an Memorandum of Understanding that prohibits student housing.
Ald. Nik Kovac - when he purchased this property he said it was a clear candidate for preservation. Their plan is to demolish the building and have green space, which doesn't add any value to the neighborhood. He supports the designation.
Gail Fitch - 1733 N. Cambridge Ave. - supports the designation
Jeremy Ebersoll - Milw. Preservation Alliance - supports the designation
David Coles - lives in LA, but used to live in the neighborhood - supports the designation
Ald. Bauman moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to close the public hearing.
