You have <br />requested to install clapboard siding, but we believe that the original for these areas was indeed <br />shingles. <br />The photo from the Guidebook to Chapin Park is so small that it is inconclusive. However, we do <br />have the negaves from the surveys that were done in the 1980s (aached). This photo shows <br />shingles. Given the style of the house and the photo from the 1980s, we believe that the original <br />siding was cedar shake. Feel free to pull off some of the exisng plasc/fiberglass shingles and <br />invesgate underneath, if there is original siding remaining. <br />Given the informaon we have so far, I would be able to administravely approve replacement for <br />cedar shake, but not clapboard. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Kate Himick <br />Historic Preservaon Specialist <br />Department of Community Investment <br />Office: (574) 235-7478 <br />khimick@southbendin.gov <br />City of South Bend <br />227 W.
