SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: River Bend Local Historic District Standards and Guidelines I. THE ENVIRONMENT A. IN THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT The district is characterized by its proximity to downtown South Bend and its location adjacent to Leeper Park and along the St. Joseph River. The district encompasses: two blocks of Riverside Drive beginning at Marion Street (from 503 Riverside Drive north) and ending at Bartlett Street; two lots on the north side of Navarre street just west of the alley behind Riverside Drive; the north side of Hammond Place; the east side of St. Joseph Street between Hammond Place and Bartlett Street; and the south side of Bartlett Street between St. Joseph and Riverside Drive. The District contains 45 residences and their adjacent outbuildings. Required Distinctive existing features such as parks, gardens, streetlights, fences, signs, walkways, streets, alleys and building setbacks shall be retained. New plant materials, fencing, walkways, streetlights, signs and benches shall be compatible with the character of the is neighborhood in size, scale, material and color. Street lighting should be maintained at levels recommended by the Illumination Engineering Society. Sources and light posts should be uniform throughout the District. Lamp fixtures and supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale and detail to existing historic lamps (see appendix). Streetlights should be placed so that adequate illumination is afforded all sections of the public sidewalks. Removal of shade trees over twelve inches (12") diameter, conifer trees over six inches (6") in diameter or other major plant elements shall be subject to approval by the Historic Preservation Commission. Any subsequent replacement trees of any size required by the Historic Preservation Commission shall be retained. The Riverfront character of the district shall be retained. • B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING, & ACCESSORIES Individual properties in the district are characterized by a house located near the front of each lot, with a small lawn in front and a larger lawn to the rear of the property. Those properties facing the river on Riverside Drive generally have sloping front lawns and flat back yards. The majority of structures have been erected on a single lot. Many of the properties include a garage located at the rear of the property accessed from unpaved alleys running behind the property. Most properties have trees, shrubbery and/or hedges. All houses conform to the uniform set -back within each block. The district has a compact layout. Large homes are constructed on small lots while smaller homes, such as those on Hammond Place, are constructed on narrow, deep lots. Little of the backyard areas or rear first stories of these homes is visible from the thoroughfare. In recognition of this, greater latitude will be allowed in the application of the adopted standards in the rear of the properties, in order to accommodate the individual preferences of the property owners in the treatment of these backyard areas. No approval will be necessary for changes in lawn, shrubs, walkways or semi-permanent surface changes in the rear of houses. Staff approval would be required for semi-permanent structures such as gazebos, but not for play equipment such as swing sets, sand -boxes, etc. Required Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the properties' history and development shall be retained. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Accessory structures such as decks, gazebos, fountains, or small outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant materials in close proximity to the buildings and which are causing deterioration to the building's historic fabric should be removed and replaced by more suitable flora as approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other site elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. Front yard areas shall not be fenced, or fences shall not extend forward beyond the setback line of the property. Telephone or utility poles with high intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from the thoroughfare. The installation of unsightly, large devices such as television satellite dishes shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed fence. • Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator 40 • • • Figure I -- 535 Riverside, from the street.

S. Moore & F.J. Miller, Engineers / H. L. Maddocks, Builder Property Owner: St. Joseph County (Bridge #211) Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark #9104-2000 Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: The Angela Bridge is a three Arch Melan style bridge constructed of reinforced concrete, having two central pillars with corbelled string coursecones at pillar bases and plain spandrels. The bridge construction method relied on bands of several metal arch rings aligned evenly with the protection of a concrete shell. Rough faced cut stone comprises the facing of the structure. ALTERATIONS: COA #2001-0815 allowed for repointing of masonry, replacing pavement, sidewall, and spandrel walls, outside rails, vertical posts above floor beams, the replacement of cross beams as needed, the removal of non -historic aluminum rail, recoating of masonry, COA #2003-0616 allowed for the replacement of the original, deteriorated approach railings with railings of identical shape size, dimensions and design as the existing except that for NHTSA standards rails, piers, and the oval openings were modified. Openings in both the approach and the guard rail were elongated. Conduit for the future installation of light poles was installed, as well. COA •#2003-0916-1 allowed for the construction of the trailhead for the Coal Line trail. COA #2010-1206C allowed for the installation of eight Leesburg light poles with Main Street -A luminaires, as well as improvements to the western bridge approach (including the roundabout). APPLICATION ITEMS: "This project includes the installation of lights on the Angela Bridge of the same type currently existing on Angela Blvd. to the west of the bridge. This project will add six (6) lights, to the locations where existing conduit is located, and will require no modifications to the bridge or railing." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for improvements on the structure including: Installation of six (6) SternbergLighting model #4510FP4 poles (measuring 10' tall with a 10'/z" diameter base) along the bridge. a. The lights will be distributed as follows: i. One set at the western edge of the bridge, over pier 1, ii. One set near the midpoint of the bridge, between pier 2 and 3, iii. One set at the eastern edge of the bridge, over pier 4. b. "Lights shall be attached using 18" straight bolts with 14" of the thread embedded into the top of the bridge rail and 4" of the thread exposed. Bolts locations shall be drilled and epoxy, then hammered in. The Contractor shall field verify, and drill locations shall be approved by the city's representative." c. Two extra light poles will be supplied to the city to be used as spares. COA #2010-1206C allowed for the installation of eight (8) Leesburg 12' straight fluted shafts with Main Street -A luminaires (models #MS805-B or #MS805-B-0) atop. The existing bridge superstructure/railing is not sufficiently • wide enough to support the Leesburg 12' base, which is approximately 20" in diameter. Narrower bases are therefore required, necessitating the change in light pole. The Luminaire is of the same style, but is now the LED light model. The existing conduit (installed in 2003) was configured for the installation of six lights. SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: • GROUP B STANDARDS The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re- roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. Structure—Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size, b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. • G. Building Site and Landscaping (These standards apply to both A and B) 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the proposed light installation, as it is a project that has had Historic Preservation support in the past.

Originally these streetlights were of the "Park View" model manufactured by the George Cutter Company of South Bend (George Cutter lived within the Riverside Drive Local Historic District at 916 Riverside Drive). Seventeen (17) of the lights are on the north side of Riverside, while four (4) are on the south side. One light post is missing, having previously stood at the intersection of Lafayette Boulevard and Riverside Drive in Leeper Park. ALTERATIONS: COA #1995-0404 allowed for the removal of existing lamp posts and their replacement with "Hollowspun Post" poles topped with rebuilt Octagonal Junior Luminaire fixtures. The existing light pole in front • of 916 Riverside replaced a previous pole that had been struck by a motorist sometime in 2000 (corresponding to COA application #2001-1205). APPLICATION ITEMS: "The project includes maintenance of the historical lighting along Riverside Drive including rewiring the electric and adding a new service point to be located at the alley between Park Avenue and Forest Avenue. The project will require no removals or changes to existing lights." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for improvements on multiple lots throughout the Riverside Drive Local Historic District. Specifically: 1. The rewiring of twenty-one (21) historic lights along Riverside Drive, stretching from the intersection of Lafayette Street in Leeper Park to the intersection of Hudson Avenue at the northwest end of the Riverside Drive Local Historic District. a. The street lights will not be altered in any external way. b. The poles will be rewired. c. New electrical boxes (typically flush with the ground, if not underground) will be installed beneath the soil. 2. The replacement of one (1) historic light at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Lafayette Boulevard in Leeper Park utilizing an existing light pole from the Public Works inventory of replacements (the original pole having been previously removed by car accident). 3. Installing new wiring between the existing street lights via two methods: open trench and directional drilling. a. Open trench will be utilized primarily along Riverside Drive from the intersection of Hudson east to approximately 1012 Riverside Drive, as well as between Dushane Court and Lafayette Boulevard in Leeper Park. • b. Directional drilling will be utilized from Dushane Court along Riverside Drive to approximately 1012 Riverside Drive. Directional drilling will also connect the existing service box on Golden Avenue to the new wiring on Riverside Drive. 4. Capping off and pulling non-essential wiring (primarily in Leeper Park). 5. The installation of a 34" x 22" x 58" high TESCO Cabinet in the alley between Park and Forest Avenues, making use of an existing utility easement. A second service box that will be tied into this project already exists outside of the Riverside Drive Local Historic District on Golden Avenue. SITE VISIT REPORT: • July 11, 2018 Historic Preservation Specialist Adam Toering and Project Engineer Alicia Czarnecki from the Department of Public Works, Division of Engineering, conducted a joint site visit to the neighborhood at night on Wednesday, July 116' at approximately 9:30pm to determine which of the light poles were inoperable. Per application document Appendix B, "118-011 Light Up South Bend — Riverside Lighting", light pole numbers 12, 13, and 18 are inoperable. Light poles 14 and 15 have already been converted to LED by the Division of Traffic and Lighting. The amount of light given off by the LED lights is significantly greater. Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Riverside Drive Riverside Drive Local Historic District Guidelines I. THE ENVIRONMENT A. THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT The district is characterized by its proximity to downtown South Bend and by its intimate relationship with the St. Joseph River. The district encompasses the seven blocks of Riverside Drive which follow the river front from Lafayette Street to the east of Angela Boulevard to the west. For a portion of that route, there is a row of houses facing the river from across Riverside Drive, while in another portion, residences are situated on both sides of the street, with some properties abutting the river and others located across the drive. The district also includes homes located on Hudson and Golden Streets, between the drive and the alley defining the southern boundary of the district, as well as three separate park areas which lie adjacent to the river's edge: a portion of Leeper Park to the East; all of Shetterly Park in the middle and a portion of Brownfield Part to the West. Required Distinctive existing features such as parks, gardens, streetlights, fences, signs, benches, walkways streets alleys and building setbacks shall be retained. New plant materials, fencing, walkways, streetlights, signs, and benches shall be compatible with the character of the neighborhood in size, scale, material and color. Street lighting should be maintained at levels recommended by the Illumination Engineering Society. Light sources must have spectral distribution in all color ranges. • Sources and light posts should be uniform throughout the district. Lamp fixtures and supporting posts must be similar in proportion, scale and detail to existing historic lamps (see appendix) or a suitable replacement which closely duplicates the standard in size, shape, style, and appearance, i.e., Hedwig Lighting Company Standard or similar. Streetlights should be placed so that adequate illumination is afforded all sections of the public sidewalks. Tree and landscaping elements that must be removed for one reason to another shall be immediately replaced by suitable flora. The river front neighborhood character of the district shall be retained. Recommended 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. If erosion control efforts become necessary to preserve the riverbank, they should involve processes and materials consistent with the natural beauty of the banks. Large, deep-rooted trees and shrubs as well as fast spreading ground cover should be used when planting for erosion control. As much natural vegetation as possible should be preserved. If large shrubs become unsightly, they should be cut back and allowed to rejuvenate. Dead and diseased material should be selectively removed. Do not dump leaved and grass clippings on planted slopes as this practice will kill much of the low ground cover and leave soil more susceptible to erosion. 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 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. B. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS The majority of the structures within the district have oil or gas heat, and have brick chimneys through the roof. Some houses have one or two window air conditioners. Required Mechanical systems shall be placed in areas that will result in the least possible alteration to the structural integrity and physical appearance of the building. Solar collectors and TV dishes shall be placed at the rear of the property and shielded by shrubbery and landscaping. Recommended Window air conditioners and exhaust fans should be installed at the rear or at an inconspicuous side window. Original lighting fixtures should be retained whenever possible. • Prohibited Holes shall not be cut through walls or roofs to accommodate air conditioners or other mechanical equipment in areas that can be seen from the street. Not Recommended Exterior electrical and telephone cables should not be attached to the street elevation of buildings. • 0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval, as this project addresses long-standing desires from the neighborhood to address the faulty or irregular lighting circuit. The new electrical wiring will ensure that the existing street poles are lit and functional. The luminaires will be converted to LED bulbs, which produce more light (as is visible on the examples that have already been converted). Staff would recommend that the TESCO box be shielded from the street, and is of the understanding that staff from City Engineering would be explicit conveying these concerns to the contractor for its location and treatment, including paint color.

Christman, builder Property Owner: JMS Development, LLC Landmark or District Designation: Local Historic Landmark, ordinance # 8915-1998 Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: John Mohler Studebaker built this eight story Neo -Classical 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. 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 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 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: COA 2016-0705A approved replacement of the non -original storefronts at ground floor with new aluminum windows and sill flashing and 7 door openings with standard hardware. Vinyl/aluminum windows have been replaced with an historically appropriate Quaker style aluminum that restored all full original window openings, including arched heads. Further approvals with COA 2016-0705A include: awnings, in-kind; close up windows behind elevator core; masonry restoration, in-kind; remove skylights; install stair tower and trash chute near center of north fagade, all finished in EIFS. COA 2016-0801A approved removal of "JMS Building" sign on the north facade (although sign will remain installed to reflect the historic name and nature of building), and installation of Centier blade sign, Centier sign on north elevation, and Studebaker Lofts sign on west elevation. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Install on the North Elevation (1) set of LED lit channel letters. Letters to be 4'x4' logo box with 21" letters reading "WEIGAND" underscored with a 13" x 15'-10" light box. All mounted onto a raceway." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: North American Signs, contractor, proposes to install an illuminated sign representing tenant, Weigand Construction, on the north facade of the JMS Building, approximately at the 51 floor level. Great Lakes Capital, owner, approves of the sign as presented. The overall dimensions of the sign will be 24' wide by 5' tall, featuring Weigand Construction's logo and lettering mounted on a raceway. The profile of the sign will protrude 10" from the mounting. Chuck Bulot, Building Commissioner, has approved the sign per the Design Review guidelines for signs in the • South Bend Central Development Area. In the denial letter for COA 2017-0803 (an application for a third Centier sign), it was conveyed that the Commission should have a comprehensive plan for signage from the building owner/developer. Staff recommends that building owner/developer provide Commission with a comprehensive plan for signage for the building, or specify what parameters/specifications exist for signage of tenants and future tenants to the building. SITE VISIT REPORT: n/a • STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Local Landmarks Group B: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment changes of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while and addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or • alter the following: 1. Structure - Necessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material - Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood - all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials - the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. D. Demolition Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should make of both the exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. E. Moving The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. 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. G. Building Site and Landscaping (These standards apply to both A and B) 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which • reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended • New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As this is the only sign for this business, is installed on the modern surface of the building, will not alter the original building, and conforms to the Standards and Guidelines, Staff recommends approval.

The house is a Romanesque Revival style with a full three stories plus basement. The house is built of coursed gray granite, which contributes to its style including heavy massing and round arches. The mortar is a red color with a raised beaded or grapevine j oint. There is a central hip roof with numerous intersecting gables and towers, a massive parapet at the west gable, two round towers on the fagade which terminate into conical roofs. The original dormers feature a conical roof with terra cotta clad sidewalls and terra cotta ridge cap. There are three dormers added c. 1940 with a low slope roof and copper sidewalls. The original roof was covered in square edge red clay tile — similar to that on Tippecanoe Place. The current asphalt roof replaced the original tile (first in the 1980's, most recently renovated in 2017) retaining the decorative terra cotta ridge cap. The original roof was completed with a decorative copper cornice and gutters. Elements of the copper flashing remain, although the original copper downspouts have been replaced with galvanized metal and the valleys are asphalt. All entry steps are of cut granite with rough stone balustrades. The front porches and porte-cochere have slender stone column supports. The front porch has a shallow hip roof while the porte-cochere has a gable roof with a decorative terra cotta shingled pediment. Windows around the house are 1/1 double hung wood windows throughout with stone sills, plain jambs, and massive lintel stones. The Port Cochere was added at some point following the original construction. A rear porch and kitchen wing has a matching addition assumed to be added at the time the porte-cochere was also added. Three tall chimneys — two in the front and one in the rear — punctuate the roofline. The Carriage House in the rear of the property replaced an earlier wood frame barn c. 1915 to house automobiles with an apartment above and a full basement in poured concrete. Original basement windows have been replaced with new glass block. New wood carriage style doors were installed in 2015 along with a new wood entry door. A new asphalt shingle roof was installed in 2015. The Carriage House is constructed of hollow core clay tile block with a smooth faced red brick. The roof is a steep gabled roof with asphalt shingles and a wide bracketed boxed eave, multi -lite 6/1 double hung wood windows. The Site has been highly altered with a majority of the land being paved with concrete — the exception being an area east of the driveway extending to the sidewalk on Charles Martin Sr. Drive which is grass with scrub trees and decorative red -buds. A small area of grass is also located to the west of the carriage house. A brick wall extends from the west elevation of the carriage house along the north alley to the neighbor's property line. A modern eight - foot -tall wood fence is constructed along the west property line on the Kizer House. A six-inch concrete curb runs the length of the Kizer House property line. There are two driveways to the site entering off West Washington. The original driveway entrance is near the corner of West Washington and Charles Martin Sr. Drive. A shared drive entrance is located at the west property line with the neighbor. ALTERATIONS: COA 2012-0213 approved removal of non-contributing windows installed in carriage house door openings and associated rough sawn siding; installation of finish grade exterior plywood in openings as • temporary cover and paint; removal of later enclosure of rear porch and associated doors and windows; removal of scrub brush and associated stumps along west property line; removal of chain-link fence along east property line and install dirt and grass. Extensive site and structure modification occurred prior to the above listed improvements, including (but not limited to): construction of carriage house, addition to the rear of the house and of the porte-cochere, addition of the concrete drive and parking area, and re -roofing of the house in the 1980's. RME 2012-1219 approved removal of two chimneys due to deterioration; chimneys to be reconstructed at a later date as part of a roofing project (materials stored on site). COA 2014-0401 approved a re -roof of the carriage house; repair of gutters and downspouts; removal of scrub trees on property and one maple in tree lawn to restore original is landscaping; removal of non-contributing/non-original picture windows and replace with wood replicating garage door pattern until permanent solution found.

Washington STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: September 7, 2017 Application Number: 2017-0905D Property Location: 803 W Washington, South Bend, IN 46601 Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Romanesque Revival / 1890 Property Owner: Indiana Landmarks Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark Ordinance # 10443-16, West Washington National Register Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: The Kizer House is part of the West Washington National Register Historic District. The house is in the Romanesque Revival style with a full three stories and basement. The house is built of coursed gray granite, which contributes to its style including heavy massing and round arches. The mortar is a red color with a raised beaded or grapevine joint. There is a central hip roof with numerous intersecting . gables and towers, a massive parapet at the west gable, two round towers on the fagade which terminate into conical roofs. The original dormers feature a conical roof with terra cotta clad sidewalls and terra cotta ridge cap. There are three dormers added c. 1940 with a low slope roof and copper sidewalls The original roof was covered in square edge red clay tile — similar to that on Tippecanoe Place. The current asphalt roof replaced the original tile (first in the 1980's, most recently renovated in 2017) retaining the decorative terra cotta ridge cap. The roof was completed with a decorative copper cornice and gutters. Elements of the copper flashing remain, although the original copper downspouts have been replaced with galvanized metal and the valleys are asphalt. All entry steps are of cut granite with rough stone balustrades. The front porches and porte-cochere have slender stone column supports. The front porch has a shallow hip roof while the porte-cochere has a gable roof with a decorative terra cotta shingled pediment. Windows around the house are 1/1 double hung wood windows throughout with stone sills, plain jambs, and massive lintel stones. The Port Cochere was added at some point following the original construction. A rear porch and kitchen wing has a matching addition assumed to be added at the time the porte-cochere was also added. Three tall chimneys — two in the front and one in the rear — punctuate the roofline. The Carriage House in the rear of the property replaced an earlier wood frame barn c. 1915 to house automobiles with an apartment above and a full basement in poured concrete. Original basement windows have been replaced with new glass block. New wood carriage style doors were installed in 2015 along with a new wood entry door. A new asphalt shingle roof was installed in 2015. The Carriage House is constructed of hollow core clay tile block with a smooth faced red brick. The roof is a steep gabled roof with asphalt shingles and a wide bracketed boxed eave, multi -lite 6/1 double hung wood windows. The Site has been highly altered with a majority of the land being paved with concrete — the exception being an area east of the driveway extending to the sidewalk on Charles Martin Black Boulevard which is grass with scrub trees and decorative red -buds. A small area of grass is also located to the west of the . carriage house. A brick wall extends from the west elevation of the carriage house along the north alley to the neighbor's property line. A modern eight foot tall wood fence is constructed along the west property 12 line on the Kizer House. A six inch concrete curb runs the length of the Kizer House property line. There are two driveways to the site entering off West Washington. The original driveway entrance is near the corner of West Washington and Charles Martin Black Boulevard. A shared drive entrance is located at the west property line with the neighbor.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The applicant proposes to remove all concrete on the grounds and adjust the grade to slope to new drywells. Re -grading the property will reveal a number of features of the historic house, including `lost' steps and damaged basement window sills, both to be rehabilitated. The area between the house and the carriage house will be rebuilt, including the addition of 14 a new 13 -spot parking area. The existing street access in the front of the house on West Washington will be removed and a new street access from the east side of the property will be installed. The porte-cochere drive will be replicated / simulated with brick pavers, but will not connect to West Washington. New access walks will connect the house to the existing sidewalk and the new parking area. The stairwell abutting the carriage house connecting the grounds to the alley to the north will be filled-in. Extensive landscape work will compliment all of these changes, including the addition of new trees, transplanting existing trees, and planting new greenspaces. Details of these changes pursuant to the recommendations of the City Forester will be provided at a later date. A new wrought iron fence will be installed along the west edge of the property and will connect with the existing privacy fence, also to be detailed at a later date. New signage will be installed in the southeast corner of the grounds, design and structure to be determined at a later date. Mechanically, site utilities will be relocated from the north side of the house to the west side. A/C units for the main house will be installed on the west side, directly to the south of the new utility meters. Although on the low -visibility northwest corner of the house, additional landscaping will be utilized to minimize these features. The carriage house will receive A/C placed atop the filled-in stairwell to the alley. A new area for trash receptacles will be added at the northwest corner of the property, to be enclosed by an aluminum fence (details to be determined). With regards to accessibility, stone steps and access to the house at the northeast corner will be removed and repositioned directly to the west of the current exterior basement access. An ADA -compliant access ramp will be added to the east side of the house in the area vacated by the aforementioned transplanted stairs and entryway. The ramp project will also coincide with reconstructing the Porte-cochere support walls and pillars. This ramp will connect to the porte-cochere landing, which will be raised to be flush with the existing and proposed entrance thresholds. An existing window will be enlarged to create a new ADA compliant entryway into the house. Where possible, granite from the existing building will be removed and reused in these masonry projects. Additional new masonry material will be utilized to • demarcate and differentiate the new ramp construction. Both the front and rear porches will be rehabilitated, including saving elements of the existing mosaic tiles in the front. The addition of an elevator inside the main structure will necessitate an alteration to the existing northeast roofline in the form of a small dormer. This dormer will be constructed mimicking the style of the dormers added to the house in the 1940s.

Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1.

Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. D. Demolition Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should be made of both the exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. E. Moving The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. F.

There are many intersecting gables of the roofline and although each survey card, including the 1932/49 Assessor's card notes asphalt shingles, the gabled roof material is actually asbestos tile. The roofline employs a rake decorated fanciful non-structural barge board with pendills, the wide plain frieze, and brackets. A low hip roof entry porch on the east side has a dentilled frieze board and square fluted supports. Two chimneys punctuate the roofline: a small ancillary chimney at the northeast corner, and a large, centrally -mounted chimney to the rear. There are 1/1 wood double hung windows with wood sill. A gable garage with vertical plank siding is accessible from Manitou. ALTERATIONS: Although existing roof is asbestos tile, previous documentation (both the 1977 and 1987 sites and structures survey cards, as well as the 1932/49 Assessor's card) indicate that the roof is asphalt. The 1932 Assessor's Card indicates that the house was extensively remodeled in 1919. RME 2014-0520 allowed for the re - roof and re -shingle as well as the repair of the front porch. RME 2018-0703 (a companion to this application) allowed for the removal of the existing roof and its replacement with Landmark Pro Architectural shingles. APPLICATION ITEMS: "Remove abandoned external chimney." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for improvements on the structure: The removal of a degraded external chimney at the north-east corner of the structure. The chimney is visible from the street when looking at the front (Park Avenue) side of the home. Stucco and paint that had encapsulated the chimney has fallen off and exposed the brick beneath. The chimney is non- functional, and was not venting water heater exhaust properly, leading to a build-up of gases in the basement. The water heater is now vented out of the house from a different location. a. The chimney will be removed in its entirety (to the foundation). b. The wood siding, molding, and other external details will be replicated, in-kind to `cover' the exposed area where the chimney once stood. SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK General Definitions (B) PRESERVATION GUIDELINES (b2) Rehabilitation (ADOPTED) 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 the original design and construction, but should be compatible with 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. 11. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied over the original material. Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of 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. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work Some repair methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. 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. Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [ Address and contact information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the like. Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new materials that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration. Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick. Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not be removed from masonry • surfaces by any means that damage the surface. Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellant coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding should not be power -washed. B. ROOFS AND ROOFING Roof shapes in the district encompass all the various designs found in residential structures: hipped, gabled, gambrel, flat and combinations of these. 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 fascias of some vinyl- and aluminum -sided houses are covered with the same materials. Required The existing shape and type of materials of the roof shall be retained. All architectural features, which give the roof its essential character, shall be retained, including dormer windows, cupolas, cornices, brackets, chimneys, cresting and weather vanes. Recommended The original shape and materials of the roof should 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 Nothing shall be done to change the essential character of the roof as viewed from a street by adding architectural features or 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 Overhanging eaves, soffit, brackets and gables should not be covered or enclosed when adding siding to a building. In making its determination, the Historic Preservation Commission shall consider three factors: first, the appropriateness 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 of the Certificate of Appropriateness would cause the applicant. 0 • • STAFF RECOMMENDATION: While it is unknown if the chimney in question is original to the 1885 construction of the structure, existing documentation indicates that the chimney is, at its youngest, nearly 100 years old, and is therefore arguably one of the character defining features of the roofline. Staff recommends denial of the project, as the Standards & Guidelines of the Chapin Park Local and National Historic District are explicit that "all architectural features, which give the roof its essential character, shall be retained, including [...] chimneys [...J." In lieu of deconstruction and demolition of this feature, staff would recommend that it be rehabilitated. Staff is, however, aware that the Commission must weigh the "potential hardship that the denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness would cause the applicant, " and is understanding that approval may be appropriate under certain circumstances.

Jefferson Blvd., South Bend, Indiana 46601. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST. JOSEPH CO TY P sident ATTEST: S cretary 0 0 Landmarks Committee Meeting Date: 7/3/18, 1:30 P.M. Agenda: Discuss and provide recommendation on the following properties for consideration as landmarks: 1. Engman Public Natatorium 2. LaSalle Avenue Bridge 3. Jefferson Boulevard Bridge 4. Twyckenham Drive Bridge Members Present: Joseph Molnar (Chair), Adam Toering, Greta Fisher, Velvet Canada Members Absent: None Others Present: Elicia Feasel (Historic Preservation Administrator) Below are the minutes from the meeting, in bold are the official recommendations of the Committee to the Historic Preservation Commission. The Landmarks Committee met in the Informal Chambers of the South Bend Common Council on July 3rd, 2018 at 1:30 P.M. • Adam Toering provided the draft staff report for the Engman Public Natatorium. The Committee discussed how much of the property should be proposed for landmarking. The consensus was reached that all of Parcel #1 of the property should be considered for landmarking. This consists of the entire building and the garden behind the building where the pool was once located. Committeemember Fisher stated the garden should be included because the pool location itself is as significant as the building in terms of historical memory in the community. This does not include the parking lot adjacent to the building which is a separate parcel. Committeemember Greta Fisher made a motion to send the Engman Public Natatorium to the full Commission with a favorable recommendation for the entirety of Parcel 91. Committeemember Adam Toering seconded the motion which carried with a vote of four (4) ayes and zero (0) nays. Elicia Feasel provided and discussed the draft staff reports for the LaSalle Bridge, Jefferson Bridge, and Twyckenham Bridge. The Committee decided it made sense to discuss the bridges as one discussion item. Ms. Feasel informed the Committee that the Howard Park Walking Bridge is not being considered for landmarking at this time. The process of landmarking bridges is efforts previously made to landmark bridges in St. Joseph County that are of historical significance. Previously the Michigan Bridge and Angela Bridge . have both been landmarked. The Committee agreed with the decision that the Colfax Bridge is not suitable for landmarking at this time. All three bridges discussed have historic and unique architectural designs that would no longer be considered in the construction of modern bridges. All three bridges have undergone recent renovations that have been sympathetic to their historical character. Considering that all three bridges represent a specific time in the City of South Bend and St. Joseph County's history, in addition to retaining their unique architectural features, it was the opinion of the Committee that they are acceptable for landmark status. Committeemember Velvet Canada made a motion to send the LaSalle Avenue Bridge to the full Commission with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Greta Fisher seconded the motion which carried with a vote of four (4) ayes and zero (0) nays. Committee Chair Joseph Molnar made a motion to send the Jefferson Boulevard Bridge to the full Commission with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Adam Toering seconded the motion which carried with a vote of four (4) ayes and zero (0) nays. Committeemember Greta Fisher made a motion to send the Twyckenham Drive Bridge to the full Commission with a favorable recommendation. Committeemember Velvet Canada seconded the motion which carried with a vote of four (4) ayes and zero (0) nays. With all business decided, Committee Chair Joseph Molnar adjourned the meeting at 2:15 p.m. • Joseph Molnar, Landmarks Committee Chair • 0 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST.

PROPOSED LOCAL LANDMARK Engman Public Natatorium 1040 West Washington SOUTH BEND, INDIANA HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST. JOSEPH COUNTY JULY 2o18 Engman Natatorium Pursuant to City of South Bend Ordinance No. 10572-17, as adopted by the Common Council, the structure located at 1040 West Washington, commonly known as the Engman Public Natatorium, is recommended by the Historic Preservation Commission to the Common Council for designation as a Local Historic Landmark. Designation of historic landmarks is considered on the basis of: 1. Historical and cultural significance 2. Educational value 3. Suitability for preservation Historical Context: This property is located on West Washington in South Bend. The property was platted as Bank Lot number eight -nine. The site was formerly at the corner of the now vacated Chapel Lane. The lot was donated to the City of South Bend by Harry Engman, Jr. Mr. Engman was a partner in the Engman, Matthews Range company of South Bend. The City built the Natatorium in 1921-1922 and named it after Engman. The building was designed by Walter W. Schneider, a local architect of note, to model the Culver Natatorium and that • of the Chicago Athletic Club. The Board of Park Commissioners were given $80,000.00 for the construction and contracting of the "Public Bath House and Swimming Pool". Their president, Mr. Richard Elbel, contracted the pools construction on August 11, 1921 for $55,501.00 to local contractor Kuehn and Jordan and the remaining moneys were set aside for upkeep and future repairs. The Natatorium was constructed with a top of the line heating system and innovating plumbing and pumps. In its first ten years the pool was used for public swimming, swimming lessons for young and old and safety instructor training. By 1936, only fourteen years after it first opened, the Natatorium was closed as a result of being declared unsafe. The problems listed in the declaration were all problems that were found to be conditions inherent in buildings devoted to natatoriums: the high humidity within the building contrasted with the cold winter temperatures outside which proceeded to produce condensation on walls, windows, and the roof causing rotting. To remedy the problems the City hired architect Ernest W. Young and allocated $25,000.00 for the repair of the structure and the installation of a new machine designed to dry the air. The repairs took four months to implement. Upon the reopening of the pool the State ordered that the City must provide a schedule for use of the Natatorium by African-Americans. Local Civil Rights activist J. Chester Allen requested that due to the fact that there were over 5,000 citizens of color living in South Bend that all restrictions should be dropped so all people could use the pool at any time. Mr. John a Rothrock, representative of the State Board of Tax Commissioners who were the sponsors of the renovation project, stated that "he hadn't seen a city as large as South Bend that didn't provide facilities to blacks", however he did not approve the plan of African Americans using the pool at the same time as the whites. Eventually a schedule was reached that allowed African Americans to use the facility, but, not at the same time as whites. In 1946 the pool was again closed for a few months for reconditioning. The price for a single swim at this time was $0.30; a five -swim card cost $1.20. The Natatorium was open noon to 9:oopm and it offered open swimming, swim lessons for all, as well as private ladies classes and life-saving courses. By the late 1940s the Natatorium offered an adult only night on Wednesdays for those seeking to relax apart from children. The building was also used for water ballet, graduation exercises and water exhibitions. By 1950 the Natatorium was at the peak of its popularity with over 18,179 people visiting the pool that summer. In 1951 the pool gave lessons in Water Basketball, rented the facility to clubs and associations and began Swim for Health lessons for the handicapped. By 1957 the pool had added 22 new swim classes year-round to handle the huge numbers of patrons and in 1958—to further alleviate the crowding—the pool was opened for four hours on Sunday afternoons. However, as the 196os approached, the Natatorium began showing signs of age and use, leading to its closing for additional renovations on October 23, 196o. At this time new heating, plumbing, and ventilation systems were installed, as well as new showers and filters for the pool. The City allocated $37,900.00 through the sale of bonds for these improvements and the pool . reopened two months later. The Natatorium continued to be open for lessons, water shows, High School swim meets and general swimming throughout the 1970s despite dwindling use. By July of 1978 the Natatorium again needed renovations, although the City chose to close the facility instead of executing those updates. By the 19gos, the property was in dire need of preservation. Community interest resulted in an attempt to designate the structure as a Local Landmark 1997, and again in 2003. In August of 2010, the property was purchased by the South Bend Heritage Foundation, who entered into an agreement to restore and rehabilitate the structure, loading to the establishment of Indiana University's Civil Rights Heritage Center at the Natatorium. Description of Structure: The structure is a one story public pool building, rectangular in plan and Neo -Classical in design. The building has a flat roof with a terra-cotta parapet coping and walls with multi -course brick work with additional terra cotta detailing. The windows are 4" glass block in brick openings with terra cotta sills and head and the front door is made from aluminum. The entrance enclosure consists of terra cotta columns at the end with engaged terra cotta pilasters supporting the entabulature which reads "Public Natatorium." There are engaged brick pilasters with terra cotta column capitals and plinth on either side of the entrance doors. The foundation is granite, the steps are 0 concrete, and a tall chimney made of brick with terra cotta detailing and wrought iron detailing. Extensive modifications were made in 2010 resulting in the building's current configuration. The rear (southern) portions of the natatorium were demolished and replaced with a contemplative garden and modern restroom facilities and office space. Location Notes/Legal Description: PARCEL I: Part of Bank Out Lot numbered Eighty-nine (89) of the Second Plat of Out Lots of the Town, now City of South Bend, in St. Joseph County, Indiana, platted by the State of Indiana, described as beginning at the Northwest corner of said Lot Numbered Eighty-nine (89); thence East 1 chain 82 4/5 links; thence South 144.5 feet to the North line of an alley; thence West on the north line of said alley 1 chain 82 4/5 links to the West line of said Lot Numbered Eighty-nine (89); thence North 144.5 to the place of beginning. EXCEPTING THEREFROM: the easterly 40' therefrom. Landmarks Criteria: 1. Historical and cultural significance The building fulfills this criteria as an excellent example of a movement in public entertainment and health. In its beginning the pool was built as part of a movement throughout Indiana and the United States that showed the public interest in swimming as a diversion from heat and as a place for socializing. As time passed and new courses were offered the interest changed from purely social to concerns over health and fitness and water safety. The structure's history also shows the advent of segregation and— eventually—desegregation. 2. Educational value The building fulfills this criteria as an excellent example of a Neo -Classical designed public building. It was rated Significant according to the May 19, 1986 survey card. The structure is currently rated Outstanding by the Indiana State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD). To quote George Garner, Curator of the Civil Rights Heritage Center: "No other building in the city speaks to the history of the African American experience like the Natatorium. Today, as the 1U South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center, we offer public tours for multiple age groups that shares this history and engages in discussion about contemporary issues. In addition to • South Bend Community and other K-12 school districts, we regularly welcome 0 students from Indiana University South Bend, the University of Notre Dame, St. Mary's College, and Holy Cross College. We offer regular public events to enrich and educate such as a monthly film and discussion series, open -microphone poetry readings, lectures, exhibitions of local art and history, and more. We also regularly host meetings for various civil rights and social justice organizations, allowing those who fight today's injustices a place to gather and work towards full equality. As all of our activities are funded by Indiana University South Bend, our educational mission is paramount. Further, we believe that activism works best when rooted in an understanding of the challenges communities have faced for generations and the experiences of those who had fought for positive changes." 3. Suitability for preservation The building's alterations in 2010 have significantly changed the composition of the structure, but care was undertaken to execute this process in a sympathetic and fagade- preserving manner. The primary street -facing fagade of the structure is intact. The main swimming chamber to the rear of the lot was demolished and replaced with a contemplative garden and pool. To quote George Garner, again: "In 2010, the building underwent a significant renovation. The buildings facade remains virtually unchanged, with the interior structure and the back two- thirds of the original building adapted for 21st century use. While recognizing that there have already been extensive changes to the original structure, we are confident that the work of South Bend Heritage Foundation to transform the space into the IU South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center breathed new life into a building that had, in the late 199os, been targeted for demolition. Historic landmark status confirms and adds protections for future generations, ensuring that the history of this building and the story it tells remains vital." • 0 20 40 80 Feet Natatoriumrv- 1 Inch = 30 Feet MINUTES OF A MEETING OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OF SOUTH BEND AND ST.

SITE VISIT REPORT: N/A STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK General Definitions (B) PRESERVATION GUIDELINES (b2) Rehabilitation (ADOPTED) 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 the original design and construction, but should be compatible with 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. II. EXISTING STRUCTURES 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. D. ENTRANCES, PORCHES AND STEPS Most houses in the district have either an open or enclosed porch across the front.

Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: Fire House #6 is one of the oldest extant fire houses in South Bend. The triangular • plot, of which the building is situated, has a long connection to South Bend's history. During the Civil War, the land was used as part of Camp Rose, a training ground for local troops headed to war. The Saint Joseph County Agricultural Society later owned the land and used it as part of their fair grounds. In 1896, the City of South Bend purchased the land to build a "Hose House" on the property, serving the City until it was decommissioned in 1967. The Civic Theatre used the structure as a theatre and workshop for nearly fifty years following. Fire House #6 is a two and a half story, brick structure, with rectangular plan and hip and gabled roof with dormer. There is a hose tower protruding from the roof at the rear. The front first story features the main equipment door, a thin, curved corrugated metal canopy supported by cast iron brackets designed with a sun and scroll motif. Brick pilasters with stone capitals support a false brick arch at second story. Windows are wood, 1/1 with some fixed in attic and hose tower.

This section is meant to protect and guide appropriate maintenance of the common areas of the district (i.e. visual landscape and streetscapes). Required Brick streets contribute greatly to the character of the neighborhood. These streets have always been essentially passenger car thoroughfares. The appointments of the streets (i.e. lighting, curbs, horse hitches and monuments) should contribute as much as possible to their architectural, historic and residential character. Retention and maintenance of existing brick streets in the district is required. Repair work to fill voids and gaps must utilize brick paver materials and acceptable installation methods whenever applicable. When utility work dictates the removal of street sections (pavers), the original materials will be reinstalled. Brick streets shall be patched with brick pavers. Concrete, asphalt, fillers and similar materials shall not be used. All original streetlights shall be maintained, especially the George Cutter "Park View" streetlights designed by Cutter Company for this neighborhood. Present efforts by the Neighborhood Association and the Historic Preservation Commission to restore "Park View" streetlights to the district shall continue. Any change in lighting must receive approval of the Historic Preservation Commission. New or different fencing requires a C of A and shall reflect the style and character of the individual property and the surrounding environment and properties. Recommended The current or historic character of lawns should be preserved. Front yard areas, common lawns and tree lawns should remain open. New or replacement trees should be compatible in variety with those presently growing. Vacant lots should be kept landscaped appropriately while vacant, and may be used for recreational or residential development. 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. Prohibited Existing relationships of building and their environments shall not be destroyed by widening existing streets, applying asphalt or other bituminous coverings or by introducing new streets or parking lots. Signs, streetlights, benches, new plant materials, fencing, walkways and paving materials which are out of scale or inappropriate to the neighborhood may not be used. The erection of high walls or barriers, which would alter the relationship of the houses, shall be prohibited. Utility poles with high intensity overhead lights shall not be used on main thoroughfares. B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation within the district. Applications from properties that have property lines on Chapin Park will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Required Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to • a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damage or diseased trees should then be replaced with an approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street in front of the structure shall be open (meaning spaces between the pickets) and consistent with the historic character of a structure enclosed. Recommended 0 New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant) them at a more appropriate location as soon as planting season permits and upon approval of a C of A. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, chain link, nor industrial / commercial style fences. The installation of unsightly large devices, such as television satellite dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from the architecture of a building, are intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visible from a public street, or ruled inappropriate after Commission review. Utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. E. MECHANICAL SERVICES The majority of the structures within the district have oil or gas heat, and have brick chimneys through the roof. Some houses have one or two window air conditioners. Required Required mechanical systems shall be placed in areas that will result in the least possible alteration of the structural integrity and physical appearance of the building. Recommended Solar collectors and TV dishes should be placed in the rear of the property and shielded by shrubbery and landscaping. Window air conditioners and exhaust fans should be installed at the rear or an inconspicuous side window. Original lighting fixtures should be utilized whenever possible. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. GROUP B LOCAL LANDMARKS: The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark. The commission will require drawings, plans, specifications, and/or samples where appropriate. A. Maintenance The maintenance of any historical structure or site shall in no way involve any direct physical change except for the general cleaning and upkeep of the landmark. The Commission shall encourage the proper maintenance of all structure or sites. B. Treatment Treatment shall be defined as any change of surface materials that will not alter the style or original form. Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition). Additions to landmarks should not detract from the original form and unity of the landmark and should not cover singular examples of architectural detail. Additions to landmarks should be added in a manner that does not disrupt the visible unity of overall appearance of the site. The proportions, materials and ratios of the existing structures should be carried through in the additions. Care should be taken not to change or alter the following: 1. StructureNecessary structural improvements, where safety demands should be accomplished in such a way as to cause minimal visual change to the original style and construction. 2. Material—Additions and improvements involving any new material in the landmark should be of the same material as the original. It should be the same size and texture. An alternative material may be allowed if it duplicates the original. a. wood—all wood trim should conform with existing trim in shape and size. b. siding materials—the Commission discourages the covering or alteration of original materials with additional siding. Structures already sided with incompatible materials should be returned to a siding similar to the original when renovation is considered. D. Demolition Historic landmarks shall not be demolished. When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is the only • alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods should be made of both the • exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. E. Moving The moving of landmarks is discouraged, however, moving is preferred to demolition. When moving is necessary, the owner of the landmark must apply to the Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. 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. G. Building Site and Landscaping (These standards apply to both A and B) 1. Required Major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the property's history and development shall be retained. Dominant land contours shall be retained. Structures such as: gazebos, patio decks, fixed barbecue pits, swimming pools, tennis courts, green houses, new walls, fountains, fixed garden furniture, trellises, and other similar structures shall be compatible to the historic character of the site and neighborhood and inconspicuous when viewed from a public way. 2. Recommended New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and newspapers. Plant materials and trees in close proximity to the building that are causing deterioration to the buildings historic fabric should be removed. However, trees and plant materials that must be removed should be immediately replaced by suitable flora. Front yard areas should not be fenced except in cases where historic documentation would indicate such fencing appropriate. Fencing should be in character with the buildings style, materials, and scale. 3. Prohibited No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing major landscaping items, trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings, and other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. The installation of unsightly devices such as TV reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from public thoroughfares. • STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval as proposed projects conform to the Standards and Guidelines.

The exterior walls of the house are wood shingles with a bell flare at the lower course. The low pitch hip roof has wide soffit overhang and molded cornice and is covered with asphalt shingles. There is a full width front porch with shed roof. The porch has square supports with capitals, wood shingle solid railing, brackets at the eaves and molded fascia. The windows a wood double hung 9/1 on the second and first floors; a fixed triple panel window at the front. Most of the windows on the first floor have original wood storms. There are aluminum storms on some of the second -floor windows. There are 3/3 double hung at the basement level a fixed 6 light in the basement and several fixed 3 -light in the foundation level. ALTERATIONS: The storm door is not original to the house. The window shutters were added before 1987. The aluminum storm windows and the asphalt roof material are replacements. COA 42009-0109 allowed for the installation of a temporary handicap ramp on the front doorstep. COA #2017-0720 allowed for the replacement of rotted wood on the front porch and back porch. COA #2017-0829 allowed for the relaying of brick of the chimney, the columns, and the foundation. Multiple non - original windows exist, it is unknown when these were installed. APPLICATION ITEMS: "See attachment." "Installing Quaker Windows" "Homeowner is desiring all functional, safe, and matching windows that would keep with the historical pattern of the home." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for the replacement of 10 • windows (five double hung windows and five casement windows) with Quaker Classic Fit Series aluminum clad windows. None of the windows to be replaced directly face the street. 11 The applicant has included their assessments of the windows with their application. They are also contacting window restoration • professionals for their estimates on whether the original windows could be rehabilitated, and what that would cost. Window distribution, size, and provenance as follows: 1. North face window, corresponding to the interior stairwell. a. 26" x 27 %" 2. North face window a. 25'/4" x 27 %z" 3. North face window a. 29'/4" x 45 ''/z" 4. North face window a. 29'/" x 45 %" 5. East face window a. 23 '/" x 45 ''/z" 6. East face window — casement window, facing the rear of the property. a. 23'/4"x28 b. Preservation Inspector believes this casement window to be non -original. 7. East face window — casement window, facing the rear of the property. a. 23 '/4" x 28 b. Preservation Inspector believes this casement window to be non -original. 8. East face window — casement window, facing the rear of the property. a. 23'/4"x28 b. Preservation Inspector believes this casement window to be non -original. 9. South face window a. 36" x 59" b. Non -original vinyl window. 10. South face window a. 36" x 59" b. Non -original vinyl window. SITE VISIT REPORT: On April 30, 2018 I met with the owner of the property located at 608 Park. The owner applied to replace windows on the first level of the house. The windows have a nine over one double -hung and either nine or twelve -light fixed or casement style windows. The double hung windows on the south side (right side when looking at front of house) are non -original replacement windows with false grids. The front (west) window is a vinyl replacement three bay casement window that the owner would like to replace at a later date. The rear (east) face has a three bay, nine light casement window unit. These are wood, but I do not believe to be original, as they have a veneer of wood finish that is peeling off. The north side has a twelve -light original fixed window, two nine light original casement windows, and two original nine over one double hung windows with textured glass at the far end. None of the windows appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. They all need work in order to be operable, although the secured -in-place exterior storms make that task difficult. The two nine light casements on the north face have had some remodeling done in between by way of a closed doorway and a removed staircase. Water damage from above has damaged some plaster and may have caused those windows to be out of square. The two textured windows toward the rear are painted and and fastened shut. I believe the motivation behind the desire to change the windows is efficiency and ease of use. The distance between the property and the neighbors on both side make the sides of the house difficult to see from the street. Steve Szaday Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: CHAPIN PARK General Definitions (B) PRESERVATION GUIDELINES (b2) Rehabilitation (ADOPTED) 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 the original design and construction, but should be compatible with 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. II. EXISTING STRUCTURES A. BUILDING MATERIALS Original exterior building materials in the district include brick, stucco, clapboard, wood shingles, and brick or stone masonry. In some instances, vinyl, composite and aluminum siding have been applied over the original material. 12 • Required Original exterior building materials shall be retained when possible. Deterioration of wood materials shall be prevented through repair, cleaning and painting. The existing architectural detail around windows, porches, doors and eaves shall be retained or replaced by replicas of the same design when deteriorated beyond repair. Masonry, including brick and stucco structures, shall be maintained, and properly cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove stains and shall be done in a method acceptable for the preservation of the surface: i.e. low-pressure water and soft natural bristle brushes. Brick or masonry mortar joints should be repointed only when there is evidence of 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. When repairing stucco, stucco mixture shall be used. A professional shall make a study of the old stucco, to determine the exact mixture and underlayment used in the original work. Some repair methods are not compatible with the original techniques and may cause early disintegration of the repair work and the original work. Ample ventilation must be afforded the structure when siding is installed, in order to prevent increased deterioration of the structure from moisture and insects. Recommended Whenever possible, the original building materials should be restored. When maintaining or repairing original siding is not feasible, aluminum, vinyl or composite siding may be used. 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. Property owners should contact the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County prior to initiating any restoration or rehabilitation effort. [ Address and contact information is listed in the front of the Guidebook.] The Commission is an invaluable source of information about all facets of rehabilitation and restoration — materials, methods, contractors and the like. Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new materials that is inappropriate or was unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the surface material and accelerates deterioration. Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick. • Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally. Paint shall not be removed from masonry surfaces by any means that damage the surface. Not Recommended Waterproof or water repellant coatings or surface consolidation treatments should not be used on masonry surfaces unless required to solve a specific problem that has been studied and identified. Coatings are frequently unnecessary and expensive, and can accelerate deterioration of the masonry. Mortar joints, which do not need repointing, should not be repointed. Wood siding should not be power -washed. 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. 13 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff would divide the components of this application into two • categories: 1) the replacement of non -original windows with Quaker Classic Fit Series Windows, and 2) the replacement of original windows with Quaker Classic Fit Series windows. The replacement of the non -original windows on the South and East side is received favorably by Staff, and is therefore recommended for approval. The replacement of the original windows is considered less favorably, and staff would recommend that they be rehabilitated. In the event that the rehabilitation of the windows is not financially viable or physically possible, staff would recommend that those windows be replaced by Quaker Classic Fit Series units. Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Fisher made a motion to separate this application into two separate projects — one for the replacement of the non -original windows, and second for the replacement of the other windows. Seconded by Commissioner Canada. SECTION 1) Commissioner Fisher made a motion to approve the replacement of the non -original • windows. Seconded by Commissioner Canada. Five in favor, none opposed. Vote: 5 — 0 Motion to approve segment 1) of COA#2018-0605 is passed. Application is approved for the non -original windows on the South and East sides. SECTION II) Discussion was opened for the second portion of the application. Commissioner Molnar made a motion to approve the replacement of the remaining windows. Seconded by Commissioner Bonham. Five in favor, none opposed. Vote: 5 — 0 Motion to approve segment 2) of COA #2018-0605 is passed. COA 42018-0605 is approved in entirety. 7. 24888 Cleveland Road COA# 2018-0608 #55-1975 Local Landmark Representation: Thomas Martin, 24888 Old Cleveland Road STAFF REPORT CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A 14 CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: June 12, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0608 Property Location: 24888 Cleveland Road Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Greek Revival / 1850-1870 / "Aaron N. Miller Farm" Property Owner: Thomas and Sandra Martin Landmark or District Designation: Local Landmark, Ordinance #55-1975 Rating: Outstanding DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/SITE: The site of the Local Landmark at 24888 Old Cleveland Road originally comprised 32.70 acres encompassing the historic Aaron N. Miller farm. The property has been subsequently subdivided into two parcels: the Miller farmstead is now included in a 10 acre rectangular tract of land (tax key #04-1020-0328, owned by Thomas and Sandra Martin), while the remainder of the landmarked property is on an irregular parcel of land comprising 22.70 acres (tax key #04-1020-032802, owned by James and Barbara Kidder). The terrain is rolling and includes what is rumored to be the highest point in German Township. The majority of the original 32.70 acres is wooded. The circa 1855 t -plan house with later additions sits closest to Old Cleveland Road, with the barn and four ancillary agricultural buildings to the south, including the visually prominent multi -story barn built into the rising topography. The ancillary farm buildings have board -and -batten exterior walls and are sited on fieldstone foundations. To the west of the farmstead is a section of land that has low brush and is concealed from Old Cleveland Road by an approximately 50' deep grove of trees running parallel to the road. South of this grove of trees are fenced enclosures for the horses and garden patches. A natural draw (draining towards Old Cleveland Road) separates this land from the main farmstead area. This terrain rises to the south and west, before cresting and falling away beyond the property boundary. The 1875 St. Joseph County Atlas image of the A. N. Miller farm shows a three-story barn stood on this western plot. The area across Old Cleveland Road to the north has been extensively developed into industrial warehouses and distribution centers. • ALTERATIONS: A previous multi -story barn was removed prior to 1900. COA #1994-0321 allowed for the replacement of the pea gravel driveway with one of paving brick. COA #1996-0319 allowed for the construction of a wood board fence as indicated in the 1875 atlas image. APPLICATION ITEMS: "150 x 60 Riding Arena and workshop on the west side of our property. Need horse stalls tall enough for horses. Present historic barn has low ceilings on ground level. Horses hit heads on lights. Will provide landscaping and trees (apple, pine, flowering). Color will be grey to blend with house." From e-mail correspondence: "The building will be 14 feet tall, 150 x 60. Color will be gray with white trim, steel construction. Windows will be standard size, with mutton's similar to house, white trim, like the house. Yes, we will have a concrete footer, and foundation in part of the building but certainly not in the riding arena. The design will be as drawn, the main purpose is an indoor riding arena, and needs to be a large open building. We do not have manufacture specs, they build to our needs, will try to get something before the meeting. Would like to get this project started to use it as intended, for riding and training my Ponies to pull a cart in a safe confined area. Please let me know when the meeting is so we can plan to attend, and we will be able to address any additional concerns at that time." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of a 150' x 60' enclosed riding arena and workshop area. The structure would be sited on the western portion of the Martin's parcel, parallel to the street, concealed by landscaping, and built into the topography as it rises to the west. The erection of the structure would be executed by AERS Construction of Wolcottville, IN, who specialize in building metal farm buildings. An approximation of the design of the building provided by AERS Construction is attached for contextual reference. NOTE: This is not the final design, but a facsimile created by AERS Construction at the request of the HPC staff for this meeting. Final design documents have not yet been created. Per the submitted initial designs, the exterior cladding of the structure would be vertical metal siding. Windows and doors to be determined. SITE VISIT REPORT: • Historic Preservation Specialist Adam Toering and Historic Preservation Inspector Steve Szaday made a site visit on Monday, June 4th to discuss the project and survey the proposed area. Both staff members expressed concern to the property owner regarding the lack of information in the application, and fear that the project may be received unfavorably by the Commission. 15 The property owner expressed the desire to continue with the application after hearing the concerns of both Historic Preservation • staff members. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Local Landmark Group B The Commission has the authority to determine the architectural merits and the extent of any proposed treatment, renovation, or addition to a historic landmark.

Such improvements include re -roofing, glazing, or landscaping lawns and may involve a change that can potentially enhance or detract from the character of the landmark. A treatment change of any surface whether on the landmark or in its environment may require a Certificate of Appropriateness if it significantly alters the appearance of the landmark. Although these kinds of changes may not require a Building Permit, a Certificate of Appropriateness may be necessary. The commission should review the proposed treatment for character and style consistency with the original surfaces. C. Renovation and Additions Renovation is the modification of a structure, which does not alter the general massing while an addition, is a change in mass. A modification, which involves the removal of a part of the landmark, should be considered under demolition (see demolition).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff approves of the overall concept of this project, although the particulars of its execution remain to be determined. Historic record indicates the presence of a multi- story barn at the intended location, although the proposed single -story design does not mimic the former structure. Considerable natural concealment exists to hide the proposed structure from Old Cleveland Road, and the property owners have expressed interest in planting additional trees to further conceal and separate the proposed structure from the main farmstead. Staff are understanding of the importance of the continued and evolving use of historic farms, and that the existing structures may not be best suited for 21" century purposes. Staff recommends that the project be given a preliminary approval (indicating support for the overall concept of constructing a new structure at the proposed site) with the following conditions: 1) That the applicant would... a. engage a licensed architect to prepare a comprehensive site plan for the grounds around the proposed structure, detailing new paths and plantings to ensure that the structure remains obscured from the main farmstead and street, b. consider taking design cues from the extant historical record of the previous structure that stood at this site and attempt to include / replicate those features in the new structure, c. finalize construction plans for the structure, including materials (fixtures, windows, doors, roof, and foundation). is 2) Having prepared this new information, the applicant would return to the Historic Preservation Commission and present their completed construction and site plan for final approval. • Written by Adam Toering Historic Preservation Specialist Approved by Elicia Feasel Historic Preservation Administrator Commissioner Molnar made a motion as recommended by staff, but striking the line requiring a licensed architect, but requesting that a comprehensive site plan be created for the project.

Attest: PLA t, 7 ao-ly ;1 I Mi hele Gelfman, Secletary bate • • 21 • CIVIL RIGHTS HERITAGE CENTER INDIANA UNIVERSITY SOUTH BEND Comments for HPC (Good evening, etc.) It's hard to understate the importance of the former Engman Public Natatorium in the historic record of the city of South Bend. Between 1922 and 1936, those who were allowed to come into the building did so by passing under the word "public" carved into the concrete at the front of the building. Yet, and in spite of the fact that African Americans had always been in the city and, at this time, were moving into the city in record numbers, between 1922 and 1936 the Natatorium's caretakers—all of whom were white—denied entry to African Americans. As a city owned and operated, supposedly "public" pool, this became one of several places of activity where we, as a city, began choosing what kind of a city we want to be: Are we one that wishes to believe that word "public" is one that includes every human being? Or are we one that believes it is okay for some to selectively determine who that word "public" gets ascribed to. Leaders in the city, both white and of color, chose to work together and risk their life and livelihood to make South Bend a place where that word "public" is ascribed to all humans. Today, reborn as the home of the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center, an educational institution dedicated to the study and preservation of the history of civil rights and the experiences of marginalized and oppressed peoples in the city, we have no immediate threats of the building being lost. Still, we believe that the former Natatorium's role in the history of the city is one that must be protected. Before IU South Bend came into the picture, in 1999, the city of South Bend set aside funds to study the feasibility of the Natatorium's demolition. Fortunately, we had neighbors and protectors—including some in the Historic Preservation Commission— who avoided its destruction. While I have zero expectation that that could or would ever happen again, I want to add layers of protection to help ensure that it won't. The history of the Natatorium is too pivotal, and need for its story today is too great for it to again be threatened. That is why I come here today to wholeheartedly endorse local landmark status for Engman Natatorium—a building that today we can truly say is "public."

The Commission's use of the Annex provided by St. Joseph County will terminate in 2020. For that reason, and the City of South Bend's strong push to have all archival material digitized, the Committee was formed to aid in the transition and help lead the charge on the disposition of current assets. HPC staff have been involved in the selection of a firm that will digitize the files in separate phases, with priority 1 being the historic districts and local landmarks. The company Bolt has been selected for this work, partially due to previous working relationships with the City, use of Laserfiche, and the Brownfields Coalition (http://brownfieldcoalition.org). The digital files will be created by Bolt and be maintained, organized, updated, and assigned metadata by HPC staff and possible interns/temporary help. After the scanning process, all of the files in this phase will be organized and stored in boxes provided by St. Joseph County and City of South Bend Archives. The Commission is in possession of approximately 660 sets of blueprints. The blueprints will be divided into two donations; one to the Architecture Library at the University of Notre Dame and the other to • The History Museum. Blueprints of buildings in Building South Bend (BSB) will be housed at the Architecture Library and the remaining will become part of The History Museum's blueprint collection. The Commission is in possession of approximately 45 three-dimensional objects forming an architecture collection that contains items from buildings, sites, and structures in St. Joseph County. The objects that are chosen for disposal at the discretion of HPC will be gifted to The History Museum. Brandon Anderson, current Chair of the Committee, shared that he will no longer be a staff member of The History Museum after July 13th and will also be resigning from the Historic Preservation Commission to take on the role of Executive Director & CEO of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum. The Committee unanimously recommends the appointment of Greta Fisher, Architectural Historian, to the position of Committee Chair. Respectfully Submitted, Brandon J. Anderson Greta Fisher 644 E.

In my limited time serving in the position, I have contributed to two active committees, and have been nominated to chair the committee dealing with the Divestment of HPC Assets. • My appreciation of historic structures has led me to find ways to be involved with them in both my career and private life. The two years I spent managing Washington Hall, one of Notre Dame's core campus buildings, taught me many lessons about integrating practicality with preservation. I have renovated two historic houses, and I am currently the proud owner of an historic landmark in Edgewater Place. It is so fulfilling to serve the interests of our community and its rich heritage. I hope you will consider allowing me to continue in the position.
