Catherine Hostetler read the staff report as follows. This 1926 Colonial Revival home was designed by H.R. Stapp for Whitcomb and Keller for Myra G. and Elmer A. Higgins. Mr. Higgins was the first Christian Science teacher in South Bend. The home was purchased by Merrice and Roland Kelly in 1969. At the time of the 1986 survey, it was noted that there was an aluminum -sided one-story gabled read addition to the house with a shed roof entrance. Application items: Mr. Kelly wishes to extend the one-story rear addition on his home to accommodate a full bathroom and bedroom. He also wishes to reconstruct the current deck to attach to the rear of the new addition. The new addition will match the exterior and will not remove any original feature of the house.
