HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY <br />Phone: 574/235.9371 Fax: 574/235.9021 Email: hpcsbsjc@southbendin.gov <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed deck on the rear of the house will not impact the integrity of the <br />home. The change of the non-original fixed window to door on the rear of the house will have a minimal impact <br />on the structure. Replacement of the duplex cottage window set with a 1/3-2/3 picture window will also have little <br />impact on the integrity of the house. Staff make a favorable recommendation. <br />The bay window on the north side of the house has sagged causing the windows to become inoperable. Raising <br />and bringing the bay back into square and level is encouraged to maintain structural integrity and restore full <br />function to the bay. The original design had an internal gutter at the meeting of the house and bay roof, not ideal <br />for shedding water away from the structure. A reconstruction of the roof with an internal gutter at the edge of the <br />roof away from the house will ensure better water management and preservation of the main house. The existing <br />windows were retrofitted with double pane glass inserts. That process has altered the original sashes. Replacement <br />with Marvin Ultimate aluminum wood clad windows will restore functionality to the bay windows. Staff make a <br />Favorable Recommendation. <br />Prepared by <br />Ross Van Overberghe, Historic Preservation Administrator
