Historic Preservation Commission Certificate of Appropriateness Application April 19, 2021 <br />For: 902 Leland Ave. South Bend, IN 46616 Project: Construct new stoop for the front door of 902 Leland. Existing: Currently there is no proper stoop, there is only a plan set of cement steps. I do not believe that these steps are original. Rather the original entrance area to the house was an open wooden porch that likely had a set of wooden steps. The project includes demolition of the existing cement steps and the immediately surrounding cement path. The front path will be replaced with new cement at a future date. Proposed Project: The project will begin with the excavation of the area to support the pouring of a new footing for the masonry stoop. I am requesting permission to construct a brick and cement stoop which would be approximately 7’4” feet across and 5’4” deep. The stoop will be approximately 2 feet high. This stoop would be masonry to match the now rebuilt foundation of the house and would have three steps. To the side of these steps would be a low balustrade with a limestone cap/top. The model for this stoop can be seen directly across the street at 905 Leland. Photos are included with this application.
