February 21, 1992 <br />STAFF REPORT <br />Thomas Selsor, <br />12670 SR 23 <br />Berkeley Corp. <br />Granger, IN 46530 <br />PROPOSAL <br />Rehabilitate English Barn (c. 1845) into commercial space: <br />A. SIDING <br />Replace existing wood siding (c. 1919) in-kind. <br />B. WINDOWS & DOORS <br />1. Build doors to match 1875 elevation. Doors will be <br />fixed in place, non -opening. Install glass in doors as <br />shown in 1875 sketch. <br />2. Replace two existing medallions on front facade with <br />round lights of same size to allow light in upper loft <br />space. <br />3. Replace existing openings on sides with same or similar <br />size windows. <br />4. Add windows and build air lock entry at rear elevation <br />as shown in submitted plans. Entry doors to barn to be <br />built around existing support post as shown. <br />C. SITE <br />Open area at rear to be paved for parking as shown. <br />STANDARDS <br />Group B Standards: <br />B. Treatment <br />Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface <br />materials that will not alter the style or original form ... <br />and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or <br />detract from the character of the landmark. The Commission <br />should review the proposed treatment for character and style <br />consistency with the original surface. <br />C. Renovation and Additions <br />2. Construction and Style - All work should be done in the <br />architectural style and in a technique compatible with <br />that of the original structure. <br />3. Materials - Additions and improvements involving any new <br />material in the landmark should be of the same material <br />as the original. It should the same size and texture. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS <br />This adaptive reuse proposal retains the form and material types <br />of the' .barn as it was built in c. 1845 and renovated in c. 1919. <br />The context of the landmark has been significantly altered over <br />the last decade; the character and setting provided by an intact <br />farmstead has been lost. The proposed rehabilitation project, <br />both the treatment of the building and site, is in keeping with <br />the interpretation of landmark standards since the declaration of <br />landmark status. <br />James V.
