historicpreservation commission <br />of south bend and st. joseph county <br />• ROOM 1123 COUNTY CITY BUILDING <br />south bend, indiana 46601 (219) 284-9798 <br />January 30, 1986 <br />Mr. John Leszczynski, President <br />Board of Public Works <br />13th floor County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Dear John: <br />In October of 1985, an historic streetlight across from 221 & 229 West North <br />Shore was hit by an automobile. A resident called the Historic Preservation <br />Commission and indicated that although the fixture was broken the pole itself <br />was not damaged. At that time, our office called the City Engineering Office <br />to request that the streetlight be repaired by I & M Electric Company, rather <br />than replaced. By December a fiberglass replacement had been installed. <br />-- -- The West North Shore -area is a local historic district designated by ordinance <br />in 1978. According to the standards which govern the district, "Any change <br />in lighting must receive approval of the Historic Preservation Commission." Could <br />you please see that the fiberglass streetlight is replaced by one like the <br />original? <br />Thank you for your cooperation and please call the office if you have any <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />iJ ann S orleder <br />repsident <br />JS/JMH <br />cc: Mr. Phil McDonald, I & M Electric <br />Eugenia Schwartz, Assistant City Attorney <br />Gerald Kline, 113 W. North Shore <br />• <br />
