BeI1i_n_a III_____.___ ----------ii54- Lincolnway East South Bend, IN 46601 PROPOSAL Renovation of rear entry vestibule: 1) Replace wood panel door with single pane glazing (1/2 length) with metal door of same proportion, simulated paneling detail, applied muntin grill. 2) Replace fixed sash on west side with 1/1 wood double hung sash; replace two adjacent fixed sashes on south side with same double hung sash; remove fixed sash on east side;' replacement windows to have new wood sills, jambs, and surrounds. 3) Re -side entire vestibule with in-kind clapboard siding. STANDARDS II. Existing Structures A) Building Materials 1) Required Existing exterior building materials shall be retained. The existing or original architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves should be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design and materials when deteriorated beyond repair. 2) Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. C) Windows and Doors 1) Required Existing or original windows and doors, including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with duplicates of the existing or original. 3) Prohibited Existing or original windows, doors and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New windows or door openings that would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. RECOMMENDATIONS The owner began this project without a Certificate of Appropriateness; it is subsequently not in accordance with Section 21-117.2 of the Municipal Code of the City of South Bend. There is.no documentation other than the owner's testimony as to the nature of the vestibule prior to alteration, i.e. window and door openings. - -- According to the owner, the previously existing window openings were not part of the original vestibule: they were make -shift fixed sashes, fashioned out -of parts from 1/1 double hung wood sashes. The owner also claims that the previously existing door to the vestibule was not original, that it fit the opening only roughly and appeared to be more of an interior door. The owner also claims that the work to the soffit was begun prior to his purchase of the home and left incomplete. The project,.as it exists, is in keeping/not in keeping with the Lincolnway East Local Historic District standards as follows: 1) Part One is in keeping with standards II.C.(1)(3). The replacement door is similar in form to that previously existing. Although somewhat out of. character with -other exterior doors in the building, it is not contradictory to the Free Classic Queen 10%►Anne style of the house. This type of door is not without precedent in the district: identical doors were approved in the summer of 1991 for installation at the rear of 1346 LWE. -------------- ---- 2 - Part --Two is -not -in - keeping -with- standards II.C. (1 )(3) . The commission should consider, however, that the previously existing sashes were not historic and were unsympathetic to the style and form of the entry vestibule and more generally, the building. Also, the change occurs at the rear of the building and cannot be seen from the street. The staff asserts that the replacement sash on the west side is in accord with the building's historic and aesthetic character, and therefore should be retained. The window replacement on the south side, however, should be moved, perhaps to the east 'side; it currently appears as a misplaced element in the south face of the entry vestibule.. 3) Part three is not in keeping with standards II.A.(1)(2). The owner claims that the siding is applied directly to the stud wall. He would like to remove the siding and install building materials to make the vestibule more weather resistant, and apply new clapboard to replicate the original. The original siding, however, appears to be in good condition The staff recommends that the owner be permitted to install weather resistant materials and return the original siding in place. January 14, 1992 STAFF REPORT Ann Manion / Stephen Murphy 1071 Riverside Drive South Bend, IN 46617 PROPOSAL 1. Replace approx. 7 ft. tall wire mesh fence surrounding rear of yard with custom made wood stockade fence. 2. Install aluminum gutters and downspouts. 3. Replace large wood multi -pane casement pair at rear one story extension with elliptical window (with wood surrounds and muntin bars); infill remaining space with wood clapboard to match rest of clapboard on house. STANDARDS I. Environment A) Building Site and LandscaninR 1) Required Plants, trees, fencing ... which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. 3) Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing old plants, trees, fencing ... before ( evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. II. Existing Structures B) Roofs and Roofing 2) Recommended Gutters and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure; when necessary gutters and downspouts shall be maintained or replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectural period. C) Windows and Doors 1) Required Original windows and doors, 'including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original. 2) Recommended If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used. 3) Prohibited Original windows, doors, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and.reused in place. New windows or door openings that would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. RECOMMENDATIONS The HPC staff was informed by Riverside Drive Historic District liaison committee members of work being done at 1071 Riverside Drive without posted permits. A letter was sent to the property co-owners on 12/30/91 stating C. of A. application requirements as cited by local ordinance. The HPC staff received correspondence from the owners at the beginning of the new year, stating that they were not aware of HPC requirements prior to receipt of the 12/30/91 correspondence, that a fence surrounding the backyard was nearly complete, and that "no further exterior work of any consequence" was being planned. The HPC staff sent a letter on 1/8/92 reiterating C. of A. application procedures and requested a completed application and specific documentation of the newly installed fence. Shortly afterward the HPC staff was informed by liaison committee members that gutters and downspouts were being installed. The HPC staff contacted one of the co-owners on 1/13/92 and restated C. of A. requirements, including the need to document existing conditions before a project commences.; The co-owner said she would add the gutters to the application and submit photographs of both projects. She mentioned that there were plans to alter a window opening in a "non -historic porch" which she didn't think would need a C. of A. The HPC staff stressed that such a project would indeed need a C. of A. On 1/14/92, the other co-owner submitted the C. of A. application in person along with the photographs required and an additional interior photograph of the window opening in the process of being altered. The HPC staff made a site visit the same day, documented the changes with photographs and consulted with the commission's legal council, who advised that contact with the owners be made, with the request that they stop work on theprojectand file a C. of A. for the altered window. On 1/15/92, the HPC staff informed the Building Department of the work being done at the property. Upon discovering that no permit had been filed with their office, the Building Department issued a stop work order that same day. The HPC staff had contact with one of the co-owners the same day and requested that all work requiring an approved C. of A. be halted, and that the commission's review of the project may result in a request that the altered window be returned to its original state. Project Analysis: 1) Fence: B & C Home Improvement Co. was instructed to replace a deteriorated metal fence surrounding the backyard with a stockade -type wood fence, for which no manufacturer's brochure is available since it was custom built. This portion of the project is not in keeping with standard I.A(3) as sited above; the HPC staff was unable to document or determine the historic value of the previously existing fence. The commission should consider that the replacement fence is not without precedent in the neighborhood: an adjacent property, 1069 Riverside Drive, has a similar fence. 2) Gutters and Downsoouts: no gutter system existed previous to this project. The gutters and downspouts that have been added appear to be in keeping with standard II.B(2) as sited above. 3) Altered. Window ODeninp,: the rear one story extension was originally an open porch, according to a member of B and C Home Improvement Co. The left side was enclosed early on in the home's history with matching clapboard and a 1/1 double hung sash; the right side was partially enclosed with matching clapboard some time during the 1930's and functioned as an entry vestibule: there was a door at the -right side of the extension, later removed and covered over with clapboard, and two large, square casement windows which have been removed as part of the project currently being reviewed. The window alteration is not in keeping with any of the standards_ sited above under'Windows and Doors. Furthermore, it introduces a stylistic element not typical of an early twentieth century Prairie style residence; the elliptical replacement window is characteristic of Queen Anne style homes and other ornate styles of the 1890's. The large casement windows although arguably unsightly in their own right, are much more in accord with the style and aesthetic character of the home than the replacement window, which adds an eccentric and out of balance element to the exterior composition of the home. . The purpose of the alteration in question is part of a scheme to convert the former entry vestibule into a bathroom. The previously existing casements are naturally not suited for such a function; a smaller window opening is more appropriate. Being at the rear of the property, the alteration would not be seen from the street. The staff suggests that the owner be required to remove the window and propose a more geometric replacement window that would be in keeping with thenature of the Prairie style. ANN MANION 20725 Riverlan Road South Bend, Indiana 46637 -(219) 277-1496 January 20, 1992 Mr. Fred Holycross Historic'Preservation Commission County City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear Fred, I am informed by Mr. James Pastor of your office that the Historic Preservation'Commission has taken exception to a new window that we have installed at 1071 Riverside Drive. Mr. Pastor indicated that he was not at liberty to disclose the details of his report or its recommendation to the Commission as a whole. My partner and I purchased this house in October 1991. At the time we purchased the house, it was in extreme disrepair. we have been informed by knowledgeable sources that in another couple of years, this house would be beyond repair. In addition, the reaction to our improvements from those living in the neighborhood has been overwhelmingly positive. Our intentions were to rehabilitate the house and offer it for sale as early as possible in 1992. Although we were not familiar with the requirements of the Historic Preservation Commission, we had hoped to preserve as much as possible the original look and feel of the house. As our work progressed, it became apparent that one window at the rear of the house (and not visible from the street), was beyond repair. Because -this window was part of a later addition (not part of the original structure) and because the window was not visible from the street, we opted for a decorative window to enhance the view from the inside of the house. When Mr. Pastor called to check in with us, I told him about the -.window. Although we have unwittingly breached the procedures of the Historic Preservation Commission by not asking for permission in advancei, we have operated in good faith and with.the best of intentions. Because of the extreme deterioration of the house, we have already spent over $12,000 on repairs. Unfortunately, we will have to spend many thousand more. We simply cannot afford to take this window out and replace it. I would ask the Historic Preservation Commission to consider the above factors and the technical points made on the following pages in reaching their decision tonight. Sincerely, �jw n WOXN--- Ann Manion TECHNICAL REVIEW OF PRESERVATION GUIDELINES WHAT DO THE PRESERVATION GUIDELINES SAY ABOUT WINDOWS? The Guidelines state "Original windows and doors, including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with units and trim resembling the original." ARE THE WINDOWS IN QUESTION ORIGINAL? Clearly not. The windows were put on at the time of a subsequent enclosure of the original back porch. There are three factors to consider in determining that the windows in question are not original. Refer to attached diagram. First, the basement of the house runs under all other rooms. A crawl space runs under the front porch and the former back porch in question. Secondly, the exterior wall shows a break where the original structure meets the later wall. Thirdly, interior walls 1 and 2 (as shown in the attached diagram) and the ceiling of the former porch are paneled in the original tongue and groove style. The added walls 3 -and 4 (including the window) were not. In fact, the walls had no finishing of any kind and the exterior wood was visible from the inside. The window in wall 4 was badly deteriorated and probably never of a very good quality. We will have pictures available at the Commission meeting to support the above analysis. WHAT THEN DO THE PRESERVATION GUIDELINES SAY ABOUT ADDITIONS? The Guidelines state "Porches and additions reflecting later architectural styles, and which are important to the building's historical integrity shall be retained." DOES THIS ADDITION REFLECT A LATER ARCHITECTURAL STYLE AND IS IT IMPORTANT? Clearly not. CONCLUSION The guidelines are silent on the treatment of the window in question. They are not original. They do not reflect a later architectural style of importance. We do not appear to be.in technical violation of Commission guidelines. l'1\'O�s Ok VI'r`0)Q kovl 1 ��roo,b Ivo x n M ftl l��co�b Iva W,oa � watt, �ev�lyo QaQ4° TREASURER'S REPORT: DECEMBER 1981 As can be seen from the computer ledger of our expenses and receipts under the County General Fund, the staff incurred no e unusual expenses in December, 1991, Expenditures claimed total d $4,712.64.

JOSEPH COUNTY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION John Oxian, President Jed Eide, Vice -President Jean Dennen, Secretary Odell Newburn, Treasurer Martha Choitz Herb Herendeen Janeanne Petrass Joann Sporleder William Welsheimer. Sr. Fred M. Holycross Director January 21, 1992 i&*114i15 � w W _\M During 1991 the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County maintained the commitment to promote preservation and protect local resources by carrying out the administration of local districts and landmarks, working toward the designation of other significant examples of local heritage and carrying out the responsibilities of a Certified Local Government. The HPC staff also continued its interaction with local government and other preservation organizations in the ongoing effort to be an advocate and agency for local preservation. The Historic Preservation Commission provided information to numerous citizens and groups in 1991. The Commission gave advice and information concerning: investment tax credits, local history, the National Register of Historic Places, the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, restoration and conservation techniques, funding, facade easements, local landmark and historic district designation and procedures and the broad range of preservation issues and concerns found in the community. As a means of public information and education the HPC hosted the semi-annual Mayor's Conference on Preservation in May. This conference, on "growth management," provided a forum for local residents to hear and interact with preservation experts from around the state and representatives from the National Trust in Washington, D.C.. In addition, a brochure, South Bend's Historic Districts, was produced and distributed throughout the county and proved to be a popular promotional device for the HPC. COMMISSION POLICY DECISIONS In 1991 the HPC adopted a number of new policies and procedures. Each was designed to further standardize Commission actions and decisions. The four primary new policies enacted were: 1. new Certificate of Appropriateness procedures to ensure that the approval of changes in historic districts and to historic landmarks is a standard and unambiguous process; 2. Minimum Maintenance Standards designed to protect district structures and landmarks from decay by neglect; 3. Certificate of Appropriateness Architectural Drawing Requirements to standardize materials presented to the Commission as examples/evidence in the C.of A. process; and 4. Research Procedures adopted to standardize research methods for sites and structures to ensure that each is subjected to similar analysis. LOCAL LANDMARKS The following sites and structures were designated as local historic landmarks in 1991: 609 Portaqe Avenue - Formerly the South Bend Conservatory of Music; a significant Queen Anne structure built by local firm Whitcomb and Keller and designed by local architect W.W. Schneider. Cleveland Road -Witter Cemetery - A nineteenth-century burial ground; the resting place for significant pioneer families, Civil and Spanish-American War veterans and the local German pioneer community. Ireland Road -Rohrer Cemetery - A pioneer nineteenth-century cemetery; burial place for several significant Centre Township pioneers and families; a fine collection of burial markers and various decorative elements. The period has also saw a great deal of work put into several potential local landmarks: the Southern Hotel at 802 S. Main, one of the last remaining hotels of its type in the city, built to serve businessmen during South Bend's heyday of industrial activity; and 58666 Ireland Trail, a W.P.A.-built caretakers cottage servicing a water reservoir, unusual as an example of residential architecture built by local Depression -era government workers. The HPC was unsuccessful in its attempt to landmark the W.P.A. structure due to local government resistance, however, the issue of designating and saving the Southern Hotel from demolition is still being addressed. HISTORIC DISTRICTS The staff worked on two proposed Local Historic Districts in 1991 --potentially to be named Monroe Park LHD and Camp Rose LHD. The Monroe Park proposal, first introduced at the May HPC meeting, will have a second reading and public hearing at the February, 1992 HPC meeting. The staff and the Near Northwest Neighborhood Association began the various tasks of assembling data and analyzing the proposed Camp Rose district in December; historic research and further analysis continue into 1992. On October 8, Third District Councilman William Soderberg introduced a bill seeking to amend the boundaries of the Lincolnway East Historic District. The HPC held a public hearing on the matter on December 16; as a result of the hearing the Commission sent an unfavorable recommendation to the South Bend Common Council. The issue continues in 1992. The Commission Appropriateness properties: Local Landmarks 618 Leland Ave. 713 Cushing St. 607 Leland Ave. 1028 Wayne St. reviewed sixty-one (61) Certificate of applications consisting of the following (11) 5450 Miami Road 713 Cushing St. 710 Park Ave. 61191 U.S. 31 S. 723 Park Ave. 121 Studebaker 1028 Wayne St. Edgewater Place LHD (12) 709-11 LWE 810 Arch Ave. 536 River Ave. 740 Bronson St. 805 Arch Ave (2) 805 Bronson St., 517 Edgewater 814 Arch.

The CDBG monies were primarily used to pay salaries of staff involved in various South Bend preservation projects. The other two grants financed the ongoing update of the Sites and Structures survey. Update of the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory in 1991 continued as field work (Phase V) encompassing ten quadrants due west of the downtown (quadrants 42, 43, 44, 52, 53, 54, 62, 63, 64, and 65). This work began on the first working day of the new year and continued to the June 30th deadline. Updated maps and lists of the survey area and survey cards of significant properties in the area were turned over to the state office at that time, complete with updated research on significant properties, a final report describing developmental trends and other general historic information. The staff also provided twenty slides of the most significant structures within the city limits of South Bend to the state office. Research on properties rated "contributing" continued through December of 1991. 690 sites were identified during Phase V. Phase VI, the final phase of the city resurvey, began during July of 1991 with a preliminary windshield survey of quadrants 1-38 and 73-97, which yielded 632 structures. Unlike previous phases, all sites and structures eligible for inclusion on the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory were identified concretely and assigned a rating during the windshield survey. Survey forms were then processed for each site using a computer database. The actual data gathering for each site began in September of 1991; research of significant properties began in December of 1991. (note: the findings of the windshield survey, 632 sites, has since decreased somewhat as nearly a dozen buildings have been vinyl sided in the interim). The project continues into 1992 with a ending date of June 31. ENVIRONMENTAL/SECTION 106 REVIEWS In accordance with federal requirements as a Certified Local Government, the HPC staff reviewed the agendas of the Area Plan Commission and the Department of Code Enforcement in order to identify locally designated or National Register properties that would be impacted by the agencies' actions. The staff also reviewed fifty-eight (58) Section 106 and 312 applications during this period. The HPC has maintained its progr agreement with the SHPO and National Advisory Council to ensure protection of cultural properties which are listed on or qualify for the National Register. NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATIONS Lori Dixon worked on an application for an extension to the West Washington National Register District; the application is still in process. Due to staff changes, the nomination has temporarily been put aside. it is the intention of the present Director to finish this application in the first half of 1992. The staff assisted local resident, Kevin Smith, with his reapplication for Union Station in South Bend. The staff also assisted historian, Glory June Grieff, presently preparing a National Register application for the central business district of New Carlisle, Indiana. The HPC received no other National Register applications during 1991. 1992 HPC STAFF PROJECT GOALS The primary project goal for the first half of 1992 is to bring the South Bend Sites and Structures Survey to a successful conclusion. With the conclusion of the survey --and the successful receipt of federal grant monies for 1992 -1993 --we will spend the second half of 1992 on the initial phase of compiling the South Bend Sites and Structures Summary Report. Other project goals include: 1. HPC REGULATION MANUAL - Compiling an updated compilation of HPC rules, regulations, guidelines, procedures and bylaws, a long overdue project suggested to the staff by our legal counsel. This project will also include updating informational handouts provided to homeowners and others. 2. HPC DATA BASE - Continuing the update of HPC computer data base to make its utilization more efficient. The Survey Records Management project has provided the initial impetus for organizing records in this way, however, the staff will be spending additional time in the coming year further organizing the data base to allow efficient access to survey records, district and landmark data and COA histories. 3. ARCHIVAL REORGANIZATION - Negatives and photographs, both from the survey and other sources, are in dire need of archival protection. Under the direction of the County Archivist, Jackson Armstrong -Ingram, the staff will reorganize all materials in an up-to-date archival manner. This project can be accomplished with minimal time and money and will insure that these valuable materials are stored as safely as possible. 4. WEST WASHINGTON NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT EXTENSION This nomination has been temporarily placed on hold due to the lack of adequate staff time. In 1992 we will commence research and reorganization of this nomination and plan to have the application pass technical review and begin to be evaluated by the state for substantive review by early summer. 5. PIONEER CEMETERY LANDMARKS - The staff will continue research and analysis of the county's historic pioneer cemeteries in order to continue proposing their protection by landmark ordinance to the city and county. Those targeted will consist of the most endangered by the encroachment of development. The staff will also be quite busy this year attending to historic district issues and developments from 1991. The Lincolnway East LHD controversy and the two potential new historic districts on the northwest and south sides --in addition to ongoing HPC staff responsibilities --insure that 1992 will be a busy, if not hectic, year of preservation in South Bend and St. Joseph County.

We are well on our way to accomplishing this and expect to have enough time to satisfy the State Preservation Office's desire that we conclude this long-term project as soon as possible. With the conclusion of the survey --and the successful receipt of federal grant monies for 1992 -1993 --we will spend the second half of 1992 on the initial phase of compiling the South Bend Sites and Structures Summary Report.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TIMETABLE SOUTH BEND SUMMARY REPORT PROJECT The South Bend Historic Sites and Structures Inventory was begun in 1975 and completed in 1980. A second phase of update and revision was begun in 1986 and will be completed in June, 1992. At that time the Survey Records Management Project, Phase VI of the resurvey, will have revised and updated the survey data, transferring it onto appropriate state forms with accompanying photographs, and combined both surveys into a computer data base. To complete the project, the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County is requesting funding with which to compile and publish a Summary Report documenting the results of the surveys. The project will begin July 1, 1992 and conclude June 30, 1993. The Commission will employ a Administrative Assistant and a Research Assistant to work on the project in conjunction with the Director of the Commission. The scope of the project will consist of: organizing survey data, photographs and maps; gathering historic photographs and other visual materials; conducting necessary research; and writing, editing and assembling the information into a coherent form. The data will then be turned over to a graphics and printing firm with the expertise and equipment to conduct the final printing of the Summary Report. All Federal regulations regarding proper bidding procedures will be strictly followed. The project will be directed and monitored in all its phases by the Director. The Administrative Assistant will be responsible for managing the computer data base, ensuring relevant information is organized for efficient utilization by the printers, and assisting the Director in other tasks as needed. The Research Assistant will conduct research as directed and assist in data entry and other tasks as needed. The primary goal of this project is to conclude the South Bend Historic Sites and Structures Inventory project with a concise published summary of survey and research results. The publication will be of value to a wide range of audiences including historical agencies and organizations, governmental agencies and officials, and local citizens and citizen groups. Correlative goals include encouraging historic preservation in the local community; providing individuals and organizations information with which to determine appropriate properties for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places; providing a source of historical data for local planning and redevelopment purposes; and providing a catalyst for stimulating a greater awareness of preservation in the local community and beyond. The Summary Report as published will Iconsist of: a table of contents; an introduction; a section explaining methodology; a section describing the city's history, architecture and important architects; a guide to historic resources in the city; the catalog of sites and structures; a conclusion; a bibliography; and an index. The introduction will give a brief description of the Indiana Sites and Structures Inventory project as a whole and the survey as undertaken in this city. It will also describe the various uses for the document. The methodology section will provide a brief account of the procedures used in the survey, explaining such things as the rating system, mapping and numbering, and the criteria used to evaluate historic properties. In the following two sections, South Bend's architecture will be placed in context with the dominant historical themes of the city --principally industry, commerce and ethnic heritage. Important architects and their designs will also be summarized. A discussion of the city's historic resources will then provide a description of the area's dominant architectural traditions and styles --explaining both high -style and the vernacular forms found here. The catalog itself will be the bulk of the publication. It will list the sites and structures and include a brief description of each. Maps will be provided for geographical orientation. The majority of the city will be organized by the mile square quadrants used to orient the survey. Separate sections will also be included for local historic and National Register districts with brief histories of each. The entire volume will contain both historic and survey photographs. Photographs will enhance the graphic quality of the volume and provide examples of the local historic built environment. The conclusion will provide information concerning local preservation and sources for further information. The bibliography and index will make the volume easier to access and provide both historical source information as well as sources for further study. The projected schedule for the project will be divided into three periods: 1. Research, organizing survey data and maps, and data entry. 2. Gathering, choosing and organizing survey and historic photographs, concluding necessary research, writing and editing the text of the volume, and finalizing data entry of information to be utilized by the printers. 3. Final editing of the volume and working with the graphics/printing firm in the design and lay -out of the volume. Jan 10, 1992 CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS ISSUED IN 1991 '.
