(Please refer to Keith Micinski's project description).
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES:
CHAPIN PARK STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home.
Many are double hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and
brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim
has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the
other half have wood storm windows.
Required
Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative
glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced
with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but
should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original
materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be
painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of
canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and
reused in place. New window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion
of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as
metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations
that require removal of original windows and doors, shall not be installed.
Not Recommended
Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should
not be used.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the project as it conforms to
the standards and guidelines for Chapin Park.

January 29, 2015
At 9:30 January 28 1 met with Keith Micinski at 618 Park Ave in the Chapin Park LHD.
I entered the house and Keith led me to the area at the southwest of the house. The floor joists
of the first floor were being replaced. The second floor joists were gone and the adjoining
framework was water -stained. Keith explained to me that a previous contractor had left a
water leak unattended and it had soaked the floor all the way to the basement. New main floor
joists and subfioor were being replaced while I was there.
Keith showed me the area of the double casement window directly underneath the
damaged floor. The window frame is damaged and will need to be replaced. The window itself
including its frame can be removed by just pushing on it. To the left of the window, there was a
half bath under the second floor bath. The owner would like to take the opportunity to expand
this first floor bath since the framework will have to be removed and rebuilt.
Upon inspection of the outside of the house, I observed the other windows on that side
were double hung separated light windows (3 across x 4 high) and not casements. I also noticed
and photographed the stucco on the house and the damage caused by the interior water leak.
At the time it was my recommendation that the window at that area be removed and
saved pending the commission's decision of COA application. I also recommended the
framework existing be removed and a temporary framework be installed so that the building
and the contractor's tools could be secured.
Keith informed me that the owner would like a replacement casement window with a
matching grid pattern. Being on the first floor and closest to the ground it would be more
secure as a casement. He also informed me that they would prefer an aluminum clad wood
window due to the area does not get direct sunlight due to the position of the surrounding
houses and the tree canopy. I informed him that he can apply for which ever window he would
like but that would still be the commission's decision on what to approve.
I further recommend the commission approves the application for a new window that
would match the others at the rear of the house. The stucco already needs to be repaired and
new stucco installed. This will allow a relatively seamless repair.

PERFORMANCE DIVIDED LITES
Kolbe's performance divided lite (PDI,) glazing system
gives the appearance of true divided liter without
sacrificing energy efficiency. Extruded aluminum bars
are adhered to the exterior and wood bars to the interior
of the single lite of insulating glass.* Aesthetically
pleasing spacer bars are installed within the insulating
glass unit. Together, these bars create the illusion of
true divided lites. PDL bars are available in 5/8". 7/8",
1-1/8", 1-3/4" or 2-1/4" bar widths. The exterior finish of
the aluminum bars will match the exterior finish on the
unit. Variations on the PDL option may include custom
divided lite patterns, bar widths or no spacer bars.

12 I ULTRA SERIES
We are proposing that we replace the existing side by side window unit that was damaged
due to burst pipes with a single unit so that the bathroom can be expanded to a usable size.
That original bathroom was only 28 inches wide and was almost unusable in .its original
form. Over the winter a pipe froze and burst and flooded the bathroom requiring the
bathroom to be gutted. At this point we felt it made sense to make the bathroom a more
appropriate size and more user friendly. To do this we need to take the existing side by side
unit and remove the east side to accommodate the new width of the bathroom. I would then
like to fill the smaller opening left with a modern casement window that mimics both the
exterior trim and the wide muntins found through out the home. This window is going to be
almost an exact match aesthetically, while providing much better insulation value and zero
maintenance. The existing exterior is stucco which would be repaired where needed and
would allow the window installation to look almost seamless and once painted would be
virtually impossible to tell that a replacement was ever installed.
Due to the tree cover and the southwest corner of the home being the weather side of
the home, the window manufacture stated that a wooden window would be a high
maintenance item and require frequent upkeep compromising the functionality and the
appearance of the window. I am proposing that we use an aluminum cladding that is
maintenance free,and visually, appears to be almost the same as a wooden window. We feel
that having a maintenance free window that mimics the historic windows on the house is a --
very desirable option to have because it provides the best of both worlds. While it is more
money upfront, the energy savings and more importantly the lack of yearly upkeep will
prove to be more beneficial to the home as it allows the home owner to spend money on
other preventative maintenance on the house as a whole making it much more valuable to
the neighborhood.
This window is going to be placed on the backside of the home, almost invisible from
any view other then the neighbors backyard. There are currently three different styles of
window already existing on the back of the home. The window we are proposing to use will
actually give the back of the house continuity with the rest of the house and once the other
two rear windows are replaced, would allow for the whole home to be consistent in
appearance. If you have any further questions or something else I didn't answer, please feel
free to contact me at 574-340-1324 and I would be more then happy to answer any
questions you may have.

A Queen of Costumes
Published: December 14, 2014 Author: Kathleen Ashcraft tlink:/issues/authors/xathleen-ashcraft/]
Imagine a place that allows you to
instantly step back into any decade of
epast. You can be a dazzling flapper
rl from the 1920s or a dapper ad man
from the 196os. That is exactly the
kind of place Deborah Mayers has
created with South Bend School
District's Casaday Costume Collection.
Lucy Negash
Mayers is a professional costumer and is the sole person in charge of the
costume collection, which contains over 76, o o o different pieces.
The collection itself dates back to the 1970s, when James Lewis Casaday
started it. Casaday was a drama teacher for the South Bend School District-.-
He
istrict:He would help create the costumes for various plays and productions in the
district — and he was crafty about it.
<f he found a paper plate that he
particularly liked, he would make it a part of a crown," Mayers says.
1 of 6 1/28/2015 3:40 PM
Over time, Casaday accumulated a
substantial collection of clothing
ranging from true vintage pieces from
the 188os to contemporary costumes
fashioned by hand. "He got these
things from family, friends, attics and
basements," Mayers says. But such a
large collection was never his real
dream.
kn� M-1901
"It wasn't his goal to amass this collection," Mayers says. "This would blow
his mind."
Though Casaday has since passed away, his beautiful collection continues
to grow. Today the collection is housed in Marquette Elementary's old
school building. The decadent clothing hangs on racks lining the hallways,
filling six different classrooms and the entire space of the gym.
Anyone is welcome to browse the costumes and rent them, but by
appointment only. The rental fee for a costume is typically $20.
When they come, Mayers greets
visitors with a warm smile, likely
wearing a shiny silver tiara made of
pipe cleaners. She guides visitors
around strands of beaded necklaces
and past stacks of cobbled shoes. They
will dip in and out of the 1940s before
heading to the intricate fabrics of the
189os waistcoats. She seems to be able
to dress people in any outfit they want
from the last 150 years.
Well, maybe not any outfit.

"If it hasn't been in a play, I probably don't have it," Mayers says.
Mayers even alters and rents out wedding dresses from the collection. She
Lut
Imthat she does rent out the costumes for Halloween purposes as well,
only if visitors come with at least three specific ideas in mind first. No
aimless browsing allowed. With 76,000 costumes to choose from, a
Halloween shopper would become far too overwhelmed.
Mayers says she averages about four appointments per day. Her usual
business comes from regional theaters, local universities, church
production directors, the Center for History, the South Bend Civic Center
and South Bend school children. Visitors also come from as far as Hartford,
Mich. and Fort Wayne, Ind. The collection has made quite a name for
itself.
But it is not all fun and dress up
games for Mayers. Because the clothes
Me so delicate and dated, 7 equire
nstant repairs. She says she has a
rack of seven years worth of mending
to do in order to fix tears, beading,
relining and more.
Mayers is also quite handy at
repurposing her costumes. For
instance, if someone comes in wanting several 1920s flapper dresses worthy
of the musical "Chicago," Mayers may not have enough in stock.
But not to worry. She simply takes a few drop -waist dresses from the 196os,
adds pleats and beads to create a 1920s look.
Because the costumes are constantly changing, it is very difficult to manage
rae inventory of the collection. "It's going to take probably five years to
rcode everything. And even then it's still ongoing, it's never done," she
says.
3 of 6 1/28/2015 3:40 PM
Despite its size, the Casaday Costume Collection has no permanent home.
The South Bend School District has a fine arts fund that supports the
collection's operating costs, but not its housing costs. In the summer, for a
short period, it will be moved from the old Marquette Elementary building
to the LaSalle Academy.
No matter where the collection is relocated next, Mayers will be waiting
with a smile and crown for anyone who wants to see it.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT
February 16, 2015
Hello Commission!
I hope all of you survived the cold unharmed. Unfortunately it's not over yet, but
given time hopefully sooner than later.
Just a few points to touch on from last report:
-Since Indiana Landmarks' project, "Vintage Green" is already having both a .
lecture and workshop on weatherization it does seem a little redundant to offer
one as well. We will merely direct inquiries that way unless I am able to visit a
property and provide specific recommendations.
-I wanted to add a private walking tour I will be giving to some University of
Michigan students on March 2 for Unity Gardens. These students are spending
spring break helping out here. I was able to do this last year as well. Mitch at
Unity Gardens has been a speaker at one of our workshops and discussed
composting, so it seems a fitting trade.
-I will be presenting a lecture at the Studebaker National Museum on March 18th
at 1:30 on "Mansions" I hope those that can attend do so. I also hope to do this
great topic the justice it deserves. .
Alright, on to new business. HPC staff has contacted the Building Department in
.order to get some assistance with the local landmark located at 65014 US 31 S. The
former Country Bake Shop has been in disrepair for years and has now become a poster
child for demolition by neglect. We look forward to the assistance our enforcement arm
in the county will be able to provide us.
This evening I will be attending a meeting between Howard Park Neighborhood
residents and the Parks Dept to discuss what the local residents would like to see happen
with the park in the near fixture. I am hoping to make a case for an adaptive reuse of the
WPA building (former offices). I will report at the meeting the results.
I am hoping to yet this week have the dates, times, and locations confirmed for
the power tools workshop, and well as the tombstone information lecture and volunteer
days for the cleaning of the stones. Jeff from South Bend Monuments has offered to assist
me in the presentation on symbolism and physical material breakdown of the stones
themselves.
Thank you,
Steve Szaday

CHAPIN PARK STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
C. WINDOWS AND DOORS
Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double hung
windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has
been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm
windows; the other half have wood storm windows.

Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and
hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original.
Recommended
Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but
should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original
materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be
painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material.
Prohibited
Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and
door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion
of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings,
