STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Application Number: 2013-0124 Property Location: 102-110 North Main Street . Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Neoclassical/1910/Solon Beman, Architect/H.G. Christman, Builder Property Owner: John Freidline Landmark or District Designation: Local -Historic Landmark Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: John Mohler Studebaker built this eight storey classical revival style office structure in 1910. The fagade is comprised of six bays to the west and three to the south and is cohered with white terra cotta classical detailing. It is also clearly divided into three registers that are separated by strong projecting and intervening cornices. The bottom of each cornice is punctuated by volutes and honeysuckle designs, which where placed between each bay. The middle of the structure is articulated with a three bay system, which continues to the second intervening cornice, once again embellished with classical detailing. The top floor is further distinguished by the use of arched bays, which are topped by elaborate egg and dart molding. The overall decorative detail of the structure tends to reflect the impact of the Colombian Exposition of which the architect, Solon S. Beman, was a major participant. However, the frank expression of the steel frame links the building to the Chicago School of skyscraper construction. The building has a flat roof with robust projecting cornices that have egg and dart molding and decorated voluted console brackets. The windows are 1/1 double hung with simple decorated spandrels, except for the eighth floor, which has round even spans and cartouche keystones. ALTERATIONS: The structure has a modem aluminum stone front entrance and further modern black stone fronts a long the street. Aluminum has been added to the arches on the top storey windows. Concrete has been applied over the north side bricks. APPLICATION ITEMS: Hanging a 4' x 8' metal sign. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The Music Village, non-profit music school is located in the basement of the JMS building and this signage will help market their existence. A rendering of the proposed sign is included as well as a photograph of the actual sign. The sign conforms to Building Department's signage requirements and conforms to downtown design guidelines. Once the existing Pedro's signage is removed, The Music Village sign will be directly attached to the concrete on the north side of the building.- STANDARDS uilding. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Preservation Standards F. Signs No neon or flashing signs will be permitted unless they are original to the structure. Billboards and super -graphics will also be disallowed. Only one appropriate identifying sign will be permitted per business. STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

This has been a surprisingly busy year already, we have seen the weather roller -coaster, the local team fall a little short, and unfortunately we have seen a rash of vacant and abandoned properties damaged and even burned. Last year we saw the Taylor's Field historical district vandalized and properties left in ruin and one even burned by half. Two weekends ago we saw the church in the corner of South and S St Joseph Streets had a fire in the mechanical room as someone broke in and started a campfire. This was four days after the boarding crew boarded the doors and several of the windows. Luckily, the fire was limited to the brick lined room and did more smoke damage than anything else. This weekend I saw a light on in the vacant house at 417 Navarre. I walked around the house, followed the footprints, and saw where someone got into the window. This house was just finally boarded up two weeks ago. I called the police, they came out looked around and couldn't find anything so they left. I have tried on numerous occasions to turn the above properties into code enforcement. The problem is simple, without the owner's permission we cannot put up a NO TRESPASSING sign and without that sign, the police cannot arrest someone unless they catch them actually breaking in. The vacant and abandoned task force is trying to either create a land bank or simply make those properties available for non for profits like NNN or South Bend Heritage Foundation. The church that just had a fire is owned by River of Life church a non for profit that well... simply does not have the time or desire to take care of this property. There are four other vacant houses in Taylor's Field that are under the scrutiny of Code, those are owned by Renew, Inc. another church. On a more pleasant note, the workshop schedule moves along with great progress! We have secured some sponsors, still working on others. Please see the attached Restore Michiana flyer. This is just still in draft form and we hope to have even more of the details solidified. Hill's True Value has agreed to provide the products we need that they carry and Ginger Valley should be able to send a representative with the items they are donating as well. We were able to save the ticket booth from the Avon Theater and it is currently in the State Theater's lobby awaiting some redesign and rebuilding. That is most welcome news and will at least keep the name of the Avon alive. Steve Szaday Preservation Specialist MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND & ST.

Christman, Builder Property Owner: John Freidline Landmark or District Designation: Local Historic Landmark Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: John Mohler Studebaker built this eight storey classical revival style office structure in 1910. The fagade is comprised of six bays to the west and three to the south and is covered with white terra cotta classical detailing. Itis also clearly divided into three registers that are separated by strong projecting and intervening cornices. The bottom of each cornice is punctuated by volutes and honeysuckle designs, which where placed between each bay. The middle of the structure is articulated with a three bay system, which continues to the second intervening cornice, once again embellished with classical detailing. The top floor is further distinguished by the use of arched bays, which are topped by elaborate egg and dart molding. The overall decorative detail of the structure tends to reflect the impact of the Colombian Exposition of which the architect, Solon S. Beman, was a major participant. However, the frank expression of the steel frame links the building to the Chicago School of skyscraper construction. The building has a flat roof with robust projecting cornices that have egg and dart molding and decorated voluted console brackets. The windows are 1/1 double hung with simple decorated spandrels, except for the eighth floor, which has round even spans and cartouche keystones.
