HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY <br />Phone: 574/235.9371 Fax: 574/235.9021 Email: hpcsbsjc@southbendin.gov <br /> <br /> <br />Prohibited <br />Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New <br />window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building shall not be introduced. Inap- <br />propriate new window and door features, such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of <br />the original windows and doors, shall not be installed. <br />Not Recommended <br />Awnings, hoods, and fake shutters made of metal, vinyl, or fiberglass should not be used if they would detract from <br />the existing character or appearance of the building. <br />SITE VISIT REPORT: Most windows have broken glass. All windows will need to be re-glazed and repainted. <br />Windows are a mix of 6 over 1 cottage style, 1 over 1 double hung and 12 light swing-out. No evidence of rot in <br />sashes, jambs or sills. Wood is solid. Many of the double hung windows have ropes in tact and are operational. <br />Windows are in good candidates for restoration and maintenance. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial for replacement and suggests restoration of original <br />wood windows. <br /> <br />Prepared by <br />Ross Van Overberghe, Historic Preservation Specialist
