HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br />PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT <br />February 24,2014 <br />Hello Commission! <br />As always I like to begin with the updates on the Restore Michiana Workshops <br />Series. We had approximately 20 folks at our first workshop at St Paul's Methodist <br />Church. That is a really great and promising start. The folks from Junk Evolution and the <br />Habitat for Humanity Restore were just great and had, a very involved and informed <br />audience there which made the entire experience a success. Just to•remind everyone that <br />the lectures held at St Paul's on Wednesdays have a tour that starts at 5:30. We are <br />moving right along with the others, we should have our response for the workshop in <br />May by the end of the week. Also we are working on getting the rest of the things ready <br />for the March 8t' Power Tools Event at the Birdsell Mansion. <br />The Old House Network event in Kalamazoo was great! We had about 400 <br />attendees throughout the day and were well received. Jim Turner, (metal window expert) <br />as well as Richard Speigelmeyer were in attendance and,as always were a wealth of <br />information during the large question and answer portion of the show. <br />I just completed yet another 100+ house list for demolition/deconstruction for <br />South Bend. The focus on this list was to provide candidates for -the upcoming <br />deconstruction bid package. Catherine and I also attended the NNN annual meeting and <br />breakfast. Many elected and city appointed persons were thereto show presence and take <br />questions. Good Stuff! <br />Cameron and I will be working on minimum maintenance surveys starting in <br />Lincoln Way East and working our way through. Vary excited about getting those Done! <br />Steve Szaday <br />Preservation Specialist <br />
