February 10, 1975 Page 4 Historic Landmarks Mr. Oxian reported that 14r. Max Bauman would like to have his house declared an historic landmark. He also reported that he had no progress to report on talks with Mr. Mossberg concerning the Frank Lloyd Wright house. He also stated that he had no further word about the Hamilton Church. He reported that the Harold Medow — building belongs to b?r. Hammerschmidt, and if the Com- mission would like to view the building they had re- ceived permission from Mr. Ifedow to go through it. Mr. Oxian also reported that Mr. Ransberger wanted to know why his building had not been declared an historic landmark. Mr. Oxian stated that he had gone through the -- house and filled out an inventory form on it. He recom- mended that it be declared a landmark. Mr. Smith stated that before any action was taken on any more landmarks he would like to consider under New -Busi- ness some Resolutions that would establish a procedure for such declarations. He also stated that he would like each committee to give a report from now on, with no discussion and no motions made. Motions would be taken up under old or new business. Consultant's Report Ms. Schlereth reported that the stationery had arrived and passed around a sample. Ms. Schlereth also passed around a sketch of the Bartlett House that had been done by Carl Doozan, the architect that had been commissioned to prepare some architectural sketches for the Commission. She also stated that these sketches might be printed onto note paper if the Commission, or the Commission in conjunction with Southhold, might wish to sell them. Ms. Schlereth next introduced Ms. Tawny Ryan, a senior American Studies major from the University of Notre Dame, who will be working for the Commission for the spring semester under Notre Dame's American Studies Intern Program. Considering the Commission's earlier plans to explore private foundation funding, Ms. Ryan is collecting data on the Bartlett House that could be used together with the architectural survey information already available, to submit to a foundation as a case-study'.of what the Commission would like to do in a survey. Ms. Ryan will make a presentation to the Commission of lier findings, and this would hopefully also serve as a precedent for searches conducted on all structures that the Commission considers for designation as historic landmarks.
