October 14, 1974 <br />gage � <br />f . Trips <br />Ms. Schlereth reported on the information she had <br />received from the Notre Dame School of Architecture. <br />The only trips they had planned were one that had <br />already taken place to Chicago to the Robie house, <br />and one planned for the 18th and 19th of October <br />to Columbus, Indiana for a Student Chapter meeting <br />of the A.I.A. The Commission generally agreed that <br />this would not be the type of trip that they would <br />be able to take part in. <br />g. Furniture <br />Ms. Schlereth reported that nothing had been re- <br />ceived from the County Commissioners. Mr. Oxian <br />said that he would find out what the problem was. <br />h. Historic Sites and Landmarks <br />Mr. Oxian suggested that letters be sent to every <br />owner of a structure in St. Joseph county that had <br />been listed on the old state survey, requesting their <br />support for possible designation as historic land- <br />marks. <br />Mr. Oxian moved that the Darden Bridge be declared <br />a historic landmark based on the information that <br />was already available relative to its history. Ms. <br />Sporleder seconded the motion and it passed un- <br />animously. Mr. Smith.delegated the secretary to <br />write a letter stating the Commission's action, which <br />Mr. Oxian would present to the next County Council <br />meeting. <br />Mr. Oxian then moved that owners of those landmarks <br />outside the West Washington District and not located <br />at the University of Notre Dame be contacted and <br />asked for their support for possible designation as <br />historic landmarks. Ms. Sporleder seconded the <br />motion and it passed. <br />Mr. Nimtz moved that the old Courthouse be declared <br />and historic landmark. Mr. Rothermel seconded the <br />motion and it passed unanimously. <br />Mr. Oxian then discussed the Kresge Building and <br />said that based on his knowledge of other buildings <br />in Seattle and elsewhere, he felt that the Kresge <br />Building should be declared an historic landmark. <br />He so moved. There was no second. Ms. Davisson <br />suggested that a letter be sent to the owners of <br />the Kresge Building, similar to the one sent to the <br />owners of property on the state survey. <br />i.
