Liddell (Architect: William R. Laurie of the Architecture Design Group) DESIGNATION — LHD-EWS RATING — Contributing C/10 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE - HISTORIC CONTEXT, This Colonial Revival style house was built in 1939 for Elden R & Mary Bowden. Mr. Bowden was an assistant purchasing agent for Studebaker Corporation. In 1944, William & Vi- ola Anderson purchased the home. He was an accountant for General Liquors, Inc.. They owned the home and property until 1947 when Mrs. Anderson sold it to Albert L. & Virginia Flack, Jr. Mr. Flack, Jr. was born in South Bend in 1914 and married Virginia Michael in 1935; she died in 1964. He then married Virginia Harmon Smith in 1965. Mr. Flack worked with his father and brother in the wholesale tobacco business for some 40 -years. He eventually became the vice-president of the Flack Cigar Company. He and his first wife resided at this home until 1957 when it was sold to John Henry & Ann Lichtenfels. Mr. Lichtenfels was born in Chicago in 1919 and married Ann Haugh in 1943. They had five children. Mr. Lichtenfels was the South Bend representative for Bradnes Smith & Company of Chicago. They owned the house until 1975 when it was sold to John & Dorris Gyorgyi. Mr. Gyorgyi was a district manager for Dodge Mfg. He and his family lived in the house until 1983 when it was sold to Robert L. & Jane Miller Jr., a judge in the St. Joseph County Superior Court system. They sold the house in 1987 to Timothy S. Liddell. PROPOSED CHANGE Applicant is proposing to add a new addition to the rear of the home measuring fourteen feet by twenty and one-half feet. Also enclose and gable roof end of the existing screened porch, C) demolish the existing garage and associated driveway, then construct both items new. The drive will be relocated to the opposite side of the lot where it is now situated and require a new curb - cut and the garage will be in the same general location, but have a different footprint as the exist- ing. Also included in this application is a change in the pitch of the roof at the rear of the house projection which will match the mail roof. Also applicant wishes to add a side yard fence, the style which is still undetermined. (Additional data: this applicant is also scheduled on the agenda of the Board of Zoning Appeals, item 5; for May 20, 1999 at 3:30 PM in the County/City Council Chambers. See at- tached agenda.) STANDARDS Preservation Guidelines for East Wayne Street Local Historic District follow the Rehabil- itation model... Please see the attached copies of the Standards for the EWS-LHD that are applicable for this situation. RECOMMENDATION: This application was previously placed into the Standards & Maintenance Committee and was reviewed by them. Their recommendations shall therefore take the place of our usual com- ments and recommendations. East Wayne Street Historic District General, Definitions Guidebook (a) Preservation Defined in these guidelines as the act or process of applying measures to maintain or restore the form, integrity and materials of a building, structure or site in its existing or original condition. It can include stabilization work, restoration or rehabilitation work, ongoing maintenance and/or prevention of demolition. (b) Preservation Guidelines An outline of requirements and recommendations which are used as guides in the determination of appropriateness of proposed work within a - Historic District. The Nistoric fa'Ft "W ` Preservation Commission has established three sets of ik,. guidelines - Restoration, Rehabilitation and Conservation. One of these will be selected for each Historic District at the time of implementation. This selection = will be based on the quality and - integrity of the architecture and �- environment of the District, and upon the goals of the. - neighborhood organization. The preservation guidelines are defined as follows: (bl) Restoration Maintaining the original or unimpaired character of the District as it was at the time of construction. Any restoration done must return the structure to its original state. Authenticity of a restoration would require the removal of incompatible exterior elements and the replacement of all damaged or deteriorated elements with replicas of the same design and materials. New construction shall conform to the guidelines for defined elements of preservation regarding height, proportion, and building materials. A Certificate of Appropriateness (CoA) applicant shall be responsible for documenting the authenticity of the proposed work to the satisfaction of the commission. (b2) Rehabilitation Maintaining the existing character of the District, and whenever possible returning it to its original condition. Any rehabilitation would not require the removal of all non -original materials but would encourage the removal of all such materials which are incompatible with the defined elements of preservation for the District. The design of new construction or alteration would not require the duplication of of the original design and construction but should be compatible with the existing structures and the District's defined elements of preservation. The use of original materials or construction techniques would be encouraged, but contemporary methods and materials would be acceptable when compatible. (b3) Conservation Maintaining a District in its existing condition by placing guidelines on new construction, and limiting demolition and moving. The use of contemporary methods or materials would be acceptable if they are compatible with the defined elements of preservation for the District. page ) East Wayne Street Historic District Guidebook (e) Elements of Preservation Defined as specific areas of preservation covered within the guidelines. The elements to be defined for each Historic District, with the exception of those with Conservation guidelines, are as follows: I I - Environment A. The District Environment B. The Building Site & Landscaping II. Existing Structures A. Building Materials B. Roofs and Roofing C. Windows and Doors D. Entrances Porches and Steps 111. New Construction A. Height and Proportion B. Building Materials IV. Safety and Code Requirements A. Safety Code Planning V General (d) Guideline Components Statements within the guidelines which specify the requirements and recommendations for the preservation of the characteristic relationships of the various features which are of significance to the appearance of the Historic District. Shall is defined as an expression of something that is mandatory or must be done Should is defined as an expression of obligation, something that ought to be done but that is open to compromise. (e) Guideline Categories Guidelines for the District will address each of the Elements of Preservation individually within four divisions of classification. At the time of implementation of an Historic District, the commission will work with the respective neighborhood association to select the desires category of placement of each of the Guideline Components. These categories are as follows: (el) Required Defined as work which shall be done in a restoration or rehabilitation projecting order to restore or maintain the original or existing character of the structure or site. (e2) Recommended Defined as work which should be done to help restore or maintain the original or existing character of the structure or site. (e3) Prohibited Defined as work which shall not be permitted in a restoration or rehabilitation project because it may have a negative impact on the original or existing character of the structure or site. (e4) Not Recommended Defined as work which should not be undertaken in a restoration or rehabilitation project because it may have a negative impact on the original or existing character of the structure or site. page 3 )5 East Wayne Street Historic District Guidebook EAST WAY'NE STREET LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT DISTRICT GUIDELINES I. ENVIRONMENT A. The District Environment The district is characterized by its proximity to downtown South Bend. It encompasses several blocks of East Wayne Street, North and South, from Eddy Street east to Greenlawn and the south side of Jefferson Boulevard from Eddy Street east to Sunnyside Avenue. Tne district is bounded on the North by Jefferson Boulevard from Eddy Street to Sunnyside Avenue and then by the North property lines of the Wayne Street properties to Greenlawn. The south boundary is the southern right of way of the alley or the southern property lines of East Wayne Street, South. Unique features of the neighborhood include the island of homes between East Wayne Street, North and East Wayne Street, South; the parks at each end of the island; and the brick pillars at the entrance way (Eddy Street) to the subdivision with signage that reads "Whitcomb and Keller's Sunnvmede". Definition - the term trees in the following standards shall be defined as follows: shade trees - twelve (12) inches in diameter ornamental trees - four (4) inches in diameter or fifteen (15) feet in height. evergreen trees - eight (8) inches in diameter or fifteen (15) feet in height* .Any removal or planting of trees which are of the sizes indicated above or larger shall be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. r Whitcomb & Keller's 51 *Definition of trees by David Baracord, ASLA, Indiana Certified Landscape Architect, THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN COMPANY, INC. Required Distinctive existing features such *as brick entry pillars, parks, gardens, streetlights, fences signs, walkways, streets and building setbacks shall be retained. Major landscaping items, fencing, walkways, streetlights, signs, and benches shall be compatible with the character of the neighborhood in size, scale, material, and color. Street lighting illumination should be maintained at levels recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society. Light sources must have spectral distribution in all color ranges. Older light fixtures and supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale, size, shape, style, and appearance to the existing historic lamps. Streetlights shall be placed so that adequate illumination is afforded all sections of public sidewalks (refer to Appendix A). page 37 D, i e 0 0 ii, i . r J East Wayne Street Historic District Recommended Guidebook Whenever possible, the original features should be restored. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to buildings, sidewalks or streets that are causing deterioration to those elements should be removed. As much natural vegetation as possible should be preserved. if large shrubs become unsightly, to the point of detracting from the historic character of the house or site, they should be cut back and allowed to rejuvenate. Dead and diseased material should be selectively removed. Trees and major landscaping elements that must be removed for one reason or another should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. When replacement of utility poles or power supply lines is necessary, consideration should be given to underground conduits or utility poles erected along rear property lines. The curb height should be high enough to maintain adequate drainage of the street. if older light fixtures are taken down in the city, they should be reserved for use in the historic district. Light fixtures on top of the brick pillars at the Eddy Street entryway should be replaced according to these standards. Prohibited Existing relationships of buildings and their environments shall not be destroyed through widening existing streets, application of asphalt or other bituminous coverings, or by introducing new streets, or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, major landscaping items, fencing, walkways, and paving materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The introduction of heavy trucks or similar vehicles in the District shall be prohibited. Not Recommended High intensity overhead streetlights should not be used. -r! in the B. Building Site Landscaping. & Accessories Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located in the center of a flat lawn, often divided by a walk leading to the front entrance. Several of the residences are sited on two or more building lots; however, the preponderance of the homes have been erected on a single lot. Most of the properties include a double garage, usually located at the rear of the property; the majority of garages are accessed from straight driveways leading from the main thoroughfare, while a few are accessed from the alley. There are also a few homes with a covered carport located at the rear of the property as well as a few homes with circular driveways. Driveway and sidewalk materials include concrete, asphalt, and brick. All of the properties have trees and most have trimmed shrubbery and/or hedges. Most of the houses conform to a uniform setback line within each block. page 38 1 u 0 CI n 16 4 East Wayne Street Historic District Required Guidebook Major landscaping items, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained.

EXISTING STRUCTURES Guidebook A. Building Materials Original exterior wall materials in the District include limestone, flagstone, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, sandstone and masonry block. In some instances, vinyl or aluminum siding have been applied over the original surface. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair., cleaning, and painting. 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. Masonry including brick, limestone, flagstone, sandstone and stucco shall be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done with a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture compatible in composition, color, and texture shall be used. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only alternative to maintaining or replacing the original surface material. When used over wood surfaces, this siding should be the same size and style as the original wood. Every effort should be made to retain the original trim around windows, doors, cornices, gables, eaves, and other architectural features. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when metal or vinyl siding has been installed in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and/or insects. Mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of 1 moisture problems or when sufficient mortar is missing to allow water to stand in the mortar joint. Existing mortar shall be duplicated in composition, color, texture, joint size, method of application, and joint profile. It is emphasized that, prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort, the property owner should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County which is located in the County/City Building of South Bend. The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration. a. Typical wand frame wall where moist inside air b.

Roofs are covered with a variety of materials such as asphalt, asbestos, wood, and slate shingles, as well as clay tiles.. Residences in most cases have wood fascias with gutters and downspouts. The facial of some vinyl or metal sided houses are covered with the same material. ROOF •r r rt;z:i Required The existing shape and materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features which give the roof its essential character, such as dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting and weather vanes, shall be retained Recommended Whenever possible, the original shape and materials of the roof shall be restored. Particular effort should be made to retain materials such as slate, tile, and other unique materials not commonly found in new construction. Roof covering which is deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced with new material that matches as closely as possible the original in composition, size, shape, color, and texture. Gutters and downspouts are often a necessary adjunct in order to prevent deterioration of the structure.; they should be maintained whenever possible or replaced with a style comparable and suitable to the architectural period. Prohibited 7 ® Figure 16. Attachments for repair and replacement of clay tiles include: (a) copper tab, (b) stainless steel or other non -corrosive metal clip, slate hook or "tingle," and (c) nailing and wire nailing. Drawing: Karin MurrLink. Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from the thoroughfare by adding architectural features, large unsightly fixtures, or by using materials inappropriate to the style of the house. The roof shall not be stripped of architectural features important to its character. Not Recommended If metal or vinyl siding is added to a building, overhanging eaves, sous, brackets, and gables should not be covered or enclosed. page 43 i East Wayne Street Historic District Guidebook • Herd 1 lintd �e Hnd _ ll C.

Buildings in the district should not be demolished except where a building poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative. Documentation of interior and exterior features of the original buildings, especially homes rated as historically significant, is encouraged. Measured drawings and photographs may be submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission for safekeeping and future reference. B►. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required before moving any building or structure. The moving of a building within, out of, or into the district is discouraged; however, moving is preferred to demolition. Buildings incompatible with existing structures in the historic district shall be prohibited. C. Any rehabilitation work shall not be such as to change a building to a style previous to its original style A In planning rehabilitation projects, an architect or- -contractor experienced in preservation should be consulted. E. There shall be a liaison committee consisting of seven property owners in the district. The committee's responsibility will be to work with the residents of the district and the Historic Preservation Commission (See Appendix B&C). F. All guidelines will be reviewed and updated, on the recommendation of the liaison committee, at least every five years. G. In the case of structures located within the district which are designated individually as landmarks, the most restrictive guidelines shall apply. H. Existing easements and codicils in property owners' abstracts shall remain in effect. VI. Enforcement Procedures Enforcement of the preservation guidelines for the historic district is made possible in the Zoning Ordinance of South Bend, ordinance No. 5565-73. The Historic Preservation Commission shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness before any construction, reconstructing, alteration, demolition or moving of any house or structure within the historic district boundaries is commenced (see Appendix). This ordinance, however, does not prevent the ordinary maintenance and repair of any building or structure which does not involve a change in any exterior feature, nor does it prevent the reconstruction, alteration, demolition, or moving of any building or structure which the Building Commissioner or other official has determined to be a hazard to public safety. A Certificate of Appropriateness can be filed in two ways: fust, an application for a building permit, demolition permit, sign permit, or moving permit is automatically and application for a Certificate of Appropriateness; second where no other permit is required, application is made directly to the Historic Preservation Commission on the form prescribed by the Commission(see Appendix). The Commission will review the application and either issue a Certificate of Appropriateness or else deny the application, stating in writing the reasons for such denial. Upon such denial the applicant may appeal to the Common Council. In making its determination the Historic Preservation Commission shall consider three factors: first, appropriateness 14 of the proposed work to the preservation of the building and district; second, the detriment to the public welfare if the proposed work is permitted even though it is not deemed appropriate; third, the potential hardship that the denial No of the Certificate of Appropriateness would cause the applicant. page 49 Board of Zoning Appeals May 20, 1999 Page 2 9.

OWNER — Youth Service Bureau of St. Joseph County DESIGNATION — LHD-LWE RATING — Non -Contributing STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE/HISTORIC CONTEXT This American Four -Square style house was built by Harvey M. Kinzie in 1917. He purchased the land in 1914 from Elias F. Good, a traveling salesman. Mr. Kinzie, a florist by trade, immediately began construction of a greenhouse and shop on the northeast side of the lot. Two years after the completion of the two commercial buildings he built an American Four -Square style house right next to the shop. As his business grew Mr. Kinzie took in a partner, Charles H. Osborn. Mr. Osborn was born in Michigan in 1884 and was an active member of many South Bend lodges. The two men ran the floral business together until 1950 when Mr. Kinzie retired, selling his share of the business to Mr. Osborn. Mr. & Mrs. Kinzie continued to reside in this house until 1963 when he sold it to his son-in-law,, Paul R. Farmer. Mr. Kinzie passed away a year later at age 91. Charles Osborn only owned the business until 1953 when he passed away at age 69, leavig the company to his wife, Floda. Floda Osborn married Mr. Bird in 1957 and sold the Floral Company to La Vern R_ Buss. Mr. Buss purchased the house from Paul Fanner in 1963, only a month after he had purchased it from his father-in-law. Mr. Buss used the house as a rental for approximately eight years. He did not move into the house until 1971. Mr. Buss died a year later at age 54. The house exchanged hands several more times before it was eventually purchased by the current owner, Youth Service Bureau, in 1992. PROPOSED CHANGE Applicant is proposing to install a double -sided business sign in the front yard.

Schneider, designed, Colonial Revival style house in 1922. Ms. Landon sold the house upon its completion to John & Mollie Hibberd. Mr. Hibberd was a lawyer and president of Hibberd Printing Company, located in the Hibberd Building, downtown South Bend. Mr. & Mrs. Hibberd resided here until Mr. Hibberd's death in 1937 at which time Mrs. Hibberd sold the house to the St. Joseph Loan & Trust Company. They used the house as a rental until 1944 when it was sold to widow, Laura Donahue. She lived in the house until her death in 1960 at which time her estate sold the house to J. William Katifer. Mr. Kaufer owned the property until 1974 when it was sold to its current owners, Roger and Maureen Skurski. PROPOSED CHANGE Applicant is proposing to replace nine, badly deteriorated, 38"x 20" metal and glass basement windows located along the sides and the rear of the house with custom translucent, glass block windows.

Openings are single leaf, wood with multi -lights, double hung eight over one sashesand white aluminum storms. The home was built in 1922 and was first owned by Clarence E. Folger, who was the president and manager of the Folger Barlick Company, which was a wholesale & retail window shades and awnings store. His wife Edith worked as a secretary for the same company. Mary Misher, a stenographer at Studebaker Brothers bought the home in 1926. In 1928 John Newman and his wife Mary purchased the home. They lived there until John died in 1954. His wife Mary lived there until 1969 when it was listed as vacant. Leon Richardson and his wife Lahna purchased the home in 1977. Richardson sold it to Kenneth Deboer in 1979 who then sold it to the Cronkrights in 1998. PROPOSED CHANGE: The applicant proposes to remove the rear upper story window in its entirety and place clapboard siding (matching ethe xisting) over the opening and then painting to match the rest of the color of the house. The reason for this change is for the remodeling of the bathroom on the second floor. STANDARDS: Standards for this district are restoration. Guidelines do not allow the existing character of the house to be altered. The original character of the house is to be maintained. (p 25 of the Guidelines) RECOMMENDATION: Based upon the Guidelines for this district, staff cannot approve the request. We have, however, suggested that the window opening be allowed to be covered over on the inside, leav- ing the outside character of the house intact.

Murphy & Ltatta Pope DESIGNATION — LHD-EWS RATING — Contributing C/9 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE - HISTORIC CONTEXT This one and one-half story Tudor Revival, irregular plan, gable roof home with asphalt shingles with a large front and rear shed dormers having brick below first floor sill line and single and grouped four over one double.hung sashes with molded wood trim, gable entry, brackets, beam stucco and half timbering is located on lot 149 of the Sunnymede first addition. Legal de- scription is Key number 18-6108-3845. According to the Assessors cards, this residence was built in 1925, however, the first res- ident, Myron & Cletis Harmon does not appear in the City Directories until 1928. Whitcomb & Keller had sold the property to IraE. Ruth, who in turn sold it to Charles & Virginia Snotberger in 1928, apparently at the time of the construction of the home. The Snolbergers rented -the property until it was sold in a sheriffs sale to Prudential Insurance Company in 1935. The prop- erty- was vacant between 1935 and 1940 except when Cline T. and Joan R. Tucker resided in the house in 1938, renting it from Prudential. Beginning in 1941 Wilbur E. and Edna Sanders resided in the house. They did not obtain the deed for it until 1944. Wilbur Sanders was a plant engineer for Bendix Products Corpora- tion. Mr. was born in Muncie, Indiana in 1892 and came to South Bend in 1940. He married Edna Parker in 1912; she died in 1944. He then married Velma C. Minor. Mr. Sanders retired as an executive from the Bendix Corporation in -1963 at which time he continued as a consultant for that company until his death in 1968, at the age of 75. His wife, Velma Sanders continued to live in the home until her death which was in 1975. The home was then sold to Judith M. Kroc by the executor of the estate First Bank & Trust. In 1977 the house was then sold to Thomas E. & Beverly Steinke. Mr. Steinke was a lineman for Indiana & Michigan. Electric Company. It is believed that at some point from 1977 to 1985 Mr. & Mrs. Steinke divorced and the wife took possession of the home. She remarried and became Mrs. Steinke-Poale, selling the home in 1985 to Gabriel & Michelle Shakour. Michael was an engineer for Miles. Mr. & Mrs. Shakour resided in the home until 1996 when it was sold to Edward A Murphy. PROPOSED CHANGE The applicant wishes to paint the brick on the lower portion of the home, in its entirety due to the unskilled manner in which the stucco was applied to the house. (See letter attached from the homeowner) STANDARDS: Standards for the East Wayne Street Local Historic District follow the rehabilitation e-1 -Required: ...work shall be dome in order to restore or maintain the original or exist- ing character of of the structure or site. e-3 - Prohibited: ...work shall not be allowed which may have a negative impact on the original character of the structure or site. II -A Existing Structures: ...brick surfaces shall not be painted unless they have been painted originally (p42 - EW-LHD Guidelines) RECOMMENDATION: Staff has searched the records from 1995 to present and does not find any C of A for any stucco work at this residence being reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. While the surface looks to be rather new or newly painted, the question of the time of the stucco work becomes of prime interest, especially no Certificate was issued according to our records. The statement in the letter from the current owner says that they have been unsuccessful in finding a contractor to remove the stucco spills. While there does exist chemicals and tech- niques for the removal of this material from brick surfaces, staff feels that the owner may have had difficulty in locating a contractor to perform the work, especially due to a labor shortage in the construction trades due to the high level of construction activity in the area at this time. While Guidelines for the East Wayne Street Local Historic District prohibit the painting of the brick and in so doing this will alter the look and feel of the home drastically, staff finds that the final decision for this request is best left to the entire committee of the commission.

Lucetta Pope 1218 East Wayne Street South South Bend, Indiana 46615 May 7, 1999 Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County 227 West Jefferson Blvd. South Bend, Indiana 46601 Re: Painting of 1218 East Wayne Street South Dear Commission Members: My wife and I are going to paint our house this Summer, and we seek the approval of your Commission to paint an unpainted brick base on our home. As you can see in the enclosed photographs, ours is a stucco house with a brick base. We originally intended to paint the house with essentially the same colors and in essentially the same manner it is currently painted. However, a prior owner (or owners) splattered a substantial amount of stucco on the brick base during earlier applications of stucco. As you can see in the photographs, this splattering significantly detracts from the appearance of the home. I have been unable to find a contractor who can remove the stucco from the brick. To cover the splatters, we would like to paint the brick base the same color as the stucco. We believe that covering the splatters with paint would give the home a much neater and more attractive appearance. We understand that, as residents of a Historic Preservation District, we must seek the approval of your Commission to paint the unpainted brick base of our home. Therefore, we ask that you find that the presence of unsightly and unremovable stucco splatters justifies the painting of the brick base of our home. We would be happy to provide any additional information the Commission may need. Thank you for your attention to this matter: Sincerely, Edward A. Murphy -9 600 DETERGENT DESCRIPTION AND USE Sure Klean° 600 Detergent is a general purpose, concentrated acidic cleaner for brick, tile and concrete surfaces.

Water may be used to cool closed containers. —UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Reacts with most metals to release hydrogen gas which can form explosive mixtures with air. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V HEALTH HAZARD DATA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, skin, eyes. CARCINOGEN INFORMATION: Not listed (OSHA, IARC, NTP). MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung conditions; and chronic nose, sinus, or throat conditions. Exposures of 100 ppm for six hours a day for 50 days caused only slight unrest and irritation to the eyes and nose of rabbits, guinea pigs and pigeons. The hemoglobin content of the blood was also slightly diminished. Monkeys receiving 20 exposures of 33 ppm for six hours did not display arty adverse effects. Higher exposures (unspecified) have caused weight loss which paralleled the severity of exposure. In humans long term overexposure has been associated with erosion of the teeth. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: Causes severe damage to eyes and even blindness very rapidly. Causes burns, possible deep ulceration to skin. Breathing of mist or dust can cause damage to nasal and respiratory passages. Swallowing results in severe damage to mucous membranes and deep tissue; can result in death on penetration to vital areas. EYE CONTACT: Liquid or concentrated vapors can cause eye irritation, severe burns and permanent damage including blindness even after a short exposure to small amounts. SKIN CONTACT: Liquid or concentrated vapors can rapidly cause burning of skin. Repeated or prolonged contact with dilute solutions and concentrated vapors can cause irritation and dermatitis. INHALATION: hydrogen chloride gas, mist, and vapor can cause irritation of respiratory tract, with burning, choking, coughing, headaches, and rapid heartbeat. 35 ppm can cause irritation of the throat and 50-100 ppm is nearly unbearable for one hour. Inflammation, destruction of nasal passages and breathing difficulties can occur with high concentrations and may be delayed in onset. Inhalation of sufficiently high concentrations may result in laryngeal spasms, laryngeal edema or rapidly developing pulmonary edema. Mists may also cause bleeding of the nose and gums, and ulceration of the nasal or oral mucosa. 1,000-2,000 ppm can be fatal. INGESTION: Unlikely route of exposure. Can cause severe burns of mouth, esophagus, and stomach. Nausea, pain, and vomiting may occur. Depending on the amount swallowed, holes may develop in the intestinal tract, kidney inflammation, shock and death can occur. a EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EYE CONTACT: Rinse eyes with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids apart to ensure flushing of the entire eye surface. Get medical attention immediately. SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing and flush exposed area with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes. Get immediate medical attention. INILM ATION: Remove person to fresh air. If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately. 2 WIIAA Cr 'TION: If conscious, give large quantities of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing i person. UPEACTIVITY DATA----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ STABILITY: Stable. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Contact with strong bases (alkali), can cause violent reaction generating large amounts of heat. INCOMPATIBILI'T'Y (MATERIALS TO AVOID): Metals, oxidizing agents, nitric acid, chlorates, sulfides, and cyanides. Contact with sulfides releases poisonous flammable hydrogen sulfide. Mercuric sulfate, perchloric acid, carbides of calcium, cesium, rubidium, acetylides of cesium and rubidium, phosphides of calcium and uranium, and lithium silicide. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION OR DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Hydrogen gas when contacting metals, hydrogen chloride. VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES ---------------------------------------------------------- SPILL, LEAK AND WASTE DISPOSAL PROCEDURES: Evacuate immediate area where concentrated fumes are present. Cleanup personnel must wear proper protective equipment. Completely contain spilled material with dikes, etc., and prevent runoff into ground and surface waters or into sewers. Spills and leaks should be neutralized by pouring dry soda ash or lime over the affected area to absorb as much liquid as possible. Allow powdered material to remain on spill for five to ten minutes and flush thoroughly with water. Neutralized material, both liquid and solid, must be recovered for proper disposal. WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Recovered solids or liquids may be sent to a licensed reclaimer or disposed of in a permitted waste management facility. Consult federal, state, and/or local authorities for approved procedure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: For vapor or mist concentrations which exceed or are likely to exceed 5 ppm Threshold Limit Value (TLV), wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved full face respirator. NIOSH/MSIiA approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece should be worn when concentrations exceed 100 ppm or during leaks and/or emergencies. Follow all applicable respirator use, standards or regulations. (Also contact your safety equipment supplier for proper NIOSH/MSHA approved units.) VENTILATION: Provide sufficient explosion -proof general and/or local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure below the TLV. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Wear neoprene or PVC rain suit. (Consult safety equipment supplier.) =)TECTIVE GLOVES: Rubber type, neoprene or PVC with acceptable acid resistance. (Contact safety equipment supplier for approved gloves.) 3 EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles and/or full face shield (8 inch minimum) in compliance with OS..A� regulations. (Contact safety equipment supplier for approved goggles.) Do not wear contact lenses because they may contribute to the severity of an eye injury. OTHER. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Acid -resistant rubber boots, headgear. Eyewash and safety shower. ...................................... _...................................................................................... _.............. --..................... IR SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS --------------------------------------_----------------------------------------------------------.----------------------------------------------------------------- PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Use proper safety equipment (see section VIII) when handling. Store in a cool, well -ventilated area. Separate from oxidizing agents, nitric acid, alkalis, chlorates, sulfides, etc. (see section VI). Store in proper acid-resist;.nt containers such as rubber -lined steel, glass, or plastic. Addition of acidic cleaner to water releases heat which can result in violent boiling and spattering. Always add cleaner to water slowly and in small amounts. Never use hot water. Never add water to acidic cleaners. Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied, since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid). All hazard precautions given in this data sheet must be observed. O'T'HER PRECAUTIONS: Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Can cause severe injury or blindness. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Provide ventilation sufficient to limit employee exposure below OSHA permissible limit. Do not take internally. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Apply neutralizing rinse of 2 ounces baking soda to I gallon water. 3. Saturate thoroughly and allow neutralizing solution to dwell on the surface 3 to 5 minutes. 4. Apply final rinse of clear water. Metallic Discolorations Because of the metallic oxides contained in many new colors of brick in use today, green and brown stains can form on the masonry surface. These stains occur when vanadium, manganese or other oxides migrate to the surface of the brick. Where significant levels of metallic oxides are present in the masonry, an improper dilution of 600 Detergent can contribute to staining. If the brick shows metallic staining before or after testing, follow these additional steps: If stains are light to moderate, test using 600 Detergent at a dilution rate of 8 parts water to I part concentrate. After rinsing, allow brick to weather 10 to 14 days. Often minor stains will disappear if allowed to weather. If acceptable results are obtained, proceed with overall cleaning using 'this dilution rate. After cleaning is completed and the wall has been allowed to weather, remove any minor stains that have not weathered by spot treating with Sure Klean" stain removal products. If severe stains are apparent before original testing or become a problem at any time during the testing, use Sure KleanO Vana Troll" instead of 600 Detergent. Vana Troll' is a cleaning compound formulated specifically to control metallic staining. Follow the procedures outlined in the Vana Troll' product literature. SAFETY INFORMATION DANGERI A'- POISON!

OWNER —Logan DESIGNATION — LHD-RSD RATING — Contributing C/10 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCEARSTORIC CONTEXT, This house was built in 1902 by the Portage Land Company, which was operated by, president, H.G. Miller and secretary, Byron B. Miller. The Company rented the house out to Howard &Emily Webster, a roadmaster for C.I. & S. Railroad, for the first six years. In 1908 Byron B. Miller sold the house to Burr F. Augustine for $4,350.00 Mr. Augustine was born in New Carlisle on September 5, 1869. He married Ethlyn Baldwin on June 26, 1895, a year later the couple moved to Kansas City, Missouri so Mr. Augustine could work for the Derdoff Lumber Company. IN 1903 they moved to St. Louis, Missouri where he worked for the Lewis Verner Sawmill Company. Three years later the: couple returned to South Bend where Mr. Augustine started his own wholesale lumber dealership, which he would continue to own and operate for over 39 years. Mr. Augustine remained active in business as well as in politics until his death in 1945 at age 75. His wife Ethlyn continued to live in the house until 1951 when she sold it to Harold W. Kinsey. Mr. Kinsey was the chief auditor of the Standard Oil Company. He and his family resided in the house until 1969 when they sold it to Deane and Judith Jenney. The house exchanged hands four more times before it was purchased by the current owners, Logan Council for the Retarded of St. Joseph County, in 1985. PROPOSED CHANGE Applicant is proposing to install a new fire escape on the west side of the house on the first floor (see diagram). This is a suggestion from the State of Indiana Department of Health and Human Services, Health Care Financing Administration. RECOMMENDATION Based upon a telephone conversation with Mr. Richard Powers of this department, he stated that if the fire drill results of the home improve there will be no need to add the new fire escape. This office advises that the matter be discussed with the applicant and/or placed into committee. LOGAN Dlseoverttie Potential 11 March 1999 3621 Boland Drive Historic Preservation Commission of P.O. Box 1049 South Bend, IN 46624 South Bend & St. Joseph County 1123 County -City Building (219} 289-03$5 South Bend, IN. 46601 Fax: (219) 233-6149 To Whom It May Concern: e-mail address: logan@michiana.org Recently the LOGAN home Iocated at 1215 North Riverside Drive web site: was surveyed by the Indiana Department of Health and Human www.logancenter.org Services. During that survey -we were found to be out of compliance with Life Safety Code Standards (the standards for all group homes for developmentally disabled persons).- Enclosed ersons). Enclosed please find an "APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATE OF Affiliates: APPROPRIATENESS" to add an additional exit on the ground level of the house per mandate of the applicable standards. Adult Day Services Building Blocks LOGAN feels that the addition of this exit and the small railed Early Childhood Program stoop will not detract from the appearance of the property and will Community Living not detract from the value of any neighboring property. We would Services ask that the Commission grant the Certificate of Appropriateness so the citation of non-compliance can be eliminated. Employment Services Logan Industries We thank you for your prompt consideration of this matter. Protective Services Recreation & Leisure Services Accredited by: The Commission on Accreditation of =ehabilitation Facilities Manager Rego#rces & Opportweitr'es for Persons with D1saA111P1es Pursuant to a survey by the Indiana Department of Health and Human Services, Health Care Financing Administration, of 26 January 1999, the house owned and operated by LOGAN as a group home located at 1215 North Riverside Drive, South Bend, IN, the following citation of deficiency regarding the Life Safety Code was issued. This survey was conducted by one Robert Booher, Life Safety Code Specialist. The citation was based upon the following K 032, NFPA 101 Standard: Life Safety Code Standard: At least two acceptable exits that do not involve windows and remote from each other are provided, at least one path of travel shall be provided that does not traverse any space exposed to unprotected vertical openings, or common living spaces. 21-2:2.3.3, - This STANDARD is not met as evidenced by: 1. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to insure 1 of 5 sleeping rooms was provided with two exits which did not involve windows, and at least one exit with a path of travel that did not traverse any space exposed to common living areas such as living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens. Findings include: A. Based upon observation at 3:18 p.m. on 1.26.99, the only exit from the first floor sleeping room that did not involve the use of the window was to traverse the short corridor that exited into the dining room, a common living space. From the dining room the client could go into the living room, and exit using the front door, or into the kitchen and exit through the back door. Per interview with the Supervised Living Manager at 3:18 p.m. on this same date, the client sleeping in the first floor sleeping room has a physician's order to be on the first floor due to seizures. As a result, it could not be assured this client in the first floor sleeping room would be able to move to safety during a fire. In order to accommodate the above citation and have it removed from the record of the house located at 1215 North Riverside Drive, South Bend, IN, LOGAN proposes to the South Bend Historical Development Commission the following request: To cut a doorway directly from the downstairs bedroom to the exterior of the house on the north side, first floor (please see attached photographs with markings as to location of the doorway). The doorway would be cut through the exterior wall of the house and a stoop approximately 48 inches by 48 inches complete with banister around the stoop with steps leading to the ground surface complete with hand railings. An exterior door (3--0 x 6--8) in keeping with the exterior of the house would be installed with hardware in keeping with regulations of the Life Safety Code. The 48 inch x 48 inch stoop would be constructed of pressure treated lumber and after appropriate time of aging, painted the same color as the house (treated lumber if not allowed to age will reject paint, allowing the paint to peel after only a few months --recommended aging time is six months). LOGAN feels that this will not detract from the value of the house not -from the historical prospective of the neighborhood. We would ask that the Commission review this request and give a favorable decision so -the needed changes can be made and the citation of non compliance removed from the records. iNe ♦�v^. lF*,; .yy�y, r .. r y `i• �� �4 + ��' � ,y T.
