HISTORIC PRESERVATION CON IISSION <br />PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT <br />February 22, 2016 <br />Hello Commission! <br />Lots of research requests and meetings as usual. Currently working on details for <br />the Bicentennial Torch Relay Celebration, a presentation for the History Museum, Grant <br />application for Indiana Humanities, as well as trying to get back in the neighborhoods <br />before the snow returns. Whew... <br />I really would like to give some updates on some current projects and research: <br />309 Lamont- I met with Mr. Johnson and his installers on Friday the 181h to discuss the <br />large windows at the front and rear of the property on the first level. The windows were <br />installed and framed in, but the windows were recessed to align with the interior rather <br />than the exterior. We all agreed this was unacceptable. The crew will be working on <br />moving the windows outward and using jamb extensions to complete the interior profiles. <br />I went this morning to witness the proper placement and am satisfied with the progress. <br />1606 W Ewing -The office received a query from a Mr Alejandro Gurule who will be <br />closing on this property in a few weeks. The house was advertised as historic and he was <br />told that to consult us for any changes he may wish to make. The house was proposed to <br />be a landmark in 1992, but was declined by HPC at that time. Once he takes possession <br />of the property he will be in contact with me to do a walk-through and perhaps we should <br />revisit the application. <br />Memorial Geo -thermal drainage line RME-There was a letter to local residents along the <br />river informing them of the addition of a discharge along the river with a concrete apron <br />underneath to prevent erosion. Jerry Kline called to express concerns and clarify what <br />was being done. We can look forward to more calls about this, but the scope involving <br />the park connects to a sewer that runs underneath the sidewalk near the Tennis Center. <br />325 S Sunnyside -Not sure how to proceed with this window issue. Please see my report. <br />We are looking forward hearing updates on the Dean/Lafayette Building as they come <br />our way and are verified. <br />Thank you, <br />Steve Szaday <br />Preservation Specialist <br />
