Updated restoration status for the South Bend Historic <br />Preservation Commission <br />November 1, 2021 <br />Adam Baumgartner <br />834 Forest Ave, South Bend <br /> <br /> <br />Updates <br />In our last update, we explained how rot on the south-facing exterior wall made it necessary to <br />reconstruct part of the wall and remove unstable, rotted windows. <br /> <br />Since then, we’ve made more progress making the house level. We also replaced an interior <br />supporting wall that had been rotted from poor drainage in a roof well above. <br /> <br />In tandem, interior demolition is almost complete as we’ve prepared the house to be insulated – <br />to date, there has not been any insulation in any of the exterior walls or the attic. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Upcoming … <br />Once we’re through stabilizing the house, we’ll begin fixing the problematic roofline – a project <br />the commission has already approved. <br /> <br />Before winter, we’re also hoping to replace windows on the southern, exterior, first floor wall. <br />The primary objective of this application is to get approval for that project. <br /> <br />Our secondary goal is to get approval for some of the work we’re hoping to accomplish come <br />spring.
