Proposed Project Details Project Description; The home at 416 S Governor is part or the second phase of the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Program. The majority of the renovations are on the interior of the home, but one window and two exterior doors are being replaced. The window is in a 1960 era addition to the rear of the home and consists of two pieces pressed glass blind stopped into a frame. We would like to replace this with a casement window, wood with clad exterior, approximately 36" high and the same width as the existing opening. The window would have a bar across the center to mimic the appearance of a double hung window. The doors to be replaced are on the same 1960's addition. One is to the back yard and the other opens to the driveway on the south side of the home. Both doors are being replaced with steel full lite doors. Currently the door to the back yard is already a full lite door so there is no appearance change and the side door is not visible from the exterior because it is behind a storm door and a small vestibule. rtw:w�mwmsipa.vapp aoe_mswncrevrc,v mac rLll r� ■ f.6.. -- WSW r Staff Report May 3, 2013 Historic Review for 215 East Washington Street Designation: Iowa City Local Landmark Building name: Paul Helen Building The applicant, Scott Cray, is requesting approval for a proposed alteration project at 215 past Washington Street, the east -most bay of Il-ie Paul IIelen Building. The Paul IIelen is one of Iowa City's Local Landmarks and a National Register property. The project consists of street level fapade improvements at the existng Quinton's Bar & Dell. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.13 Windows Staff Comments The Paul Helen Building is a five -bay wide, three-story high brick commercial structure in Iowa City's central business district. Construction date is listed as 1910; the architect was prank X h'reyder of the Sheets and Company contracting firm. Built during a construction boom in Iowa City in the years preceding World War I, it is a good example of the Commercial Style popularized in high-rise towers in Chicago during the late 19"a century and early 2011, century. The Paul IIelen Building is listed irr the National Register under Criterion C. In December 2010, the Historic Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for a window replacement project that included all of the second and third floor windows. The project received a 2012 Iowa City Historic Preservation Award. The currently proposed project consists of facade itnprovcmcrus at the existing Quinton's Bar & Deli, which occupies the cast -most bay of the building. The existing non -historic storefront in this bay will be removed, and a new storefront will be constructed to more closely match the other four bays of the building. The new storefront will include a reproduction of the original prism glass transom. It will also include new storefront windows and door, and a Nvindow base that will match the other storefronts- of the building. The guidelines for Windows are specific for residential projects, but the general intent is applicable to this project: that the characteristics and elements of the new windows must match those of the original windows. Regarding the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, when an historic feature is replaced - in this case the storefront — the new, feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. Included with this report is an historic photograph of the Paul IIelen which shows the prism glass transom, a large storefront window, and what appears to be a recessed door on the cast side of the brickframedopening where Quinton's is now located. The new storefront will be similar. In staffs opinion, this is an appropriate project that will restore the historic look of this wonderfiil old building. Priorities with this project should include a transom that is the best possible match to the existing original transoms, storefront windows that match the glass type and framing of the other existing storefront windows, and a window base in a style and color that matches the other windows.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION We are attempting to bring our beautiful building up to code and at the same time restore and preserve whatever time and money allows us to do. This past year of 2012 we replaced all of the office and bathroom windows on the 2 and 3rd levels, as well as re -carpeted. This entire task was completed with the assistance of the Historic Preservation Committee and many others to give our curb appearance the appropriate and historical look of it's year of origin. Our intentions are many, however we would like to be considered for the Building Incentives Program monies to be able to start the next phase which would be to bring the Quinton's Bar & Grill back to the correct historical appearance. We have to re-create the entire front facade, along with the top zinc reflective glass that will have to be Artisinal both in design and installation. We are confident that we will be able to recreate the appearance of what was once there, and give our building a more completed look. There are many other smaller projects that could be included given the monies available. Anticipated Start Date: 5/20/13 Anticipated Completion Date: 10/01/13 C. SOURCE AND USE OF FUNDS ( See Enclosed Estimated Costs ) SOURCE OF FUNDS To be defined by ownership at the time of distribution of Incentive Funds not yet determined. We have Complete Ownership of The Paul -Helen Building Cash and Equity.

Classification: Contributing _%lay 3, 2013 The applicants, Pecyush Jain and Ann Smith, are requesting approval for an alteration project at 708 Rundell Street, a Contributing property in the Longfellow Historic District. The project consists of repairs to Line existing garage. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.5 Foundations 4.11 Siding 7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant Features Staff Comments The two story house at 708 Rundell was built c. 1925-30 per the Site Inventory, (the Iowa City Assessor lists 1900), and is a good example of Dutch Colonial Revival. The single car garage, located at the rear of the lot, is from the same period. This garage has a simple gable roof with exposed rafter tails; the wood siding is Dutch lap. Both the house and the garage are contributing structures. The proposed garage repair includes removal of the rear `bump out' addiuon, construction of a new concrete footing, and repair of the existing siding. To build the footing, the garage will be temporarily lifted, the rotted sill plate and bottom eight inches of the wall surds will be removed, a new sill plate will be installed, and the garage will be lower back down and anchored to the new fooung. The new footing will have an eight inch exposure, so the resulting height of the garage will not change. Siding will be salvaged from the demo'd rear addition and used to cover the exposed portion of the retraining rear wall. New siding, if required, will match the existing. The guidelines for Foundations (4.5) recommend using a smooth faced concrete when foundations are built for new primary buildings and outbuildings. In this case, smooth faced concrete is also appropriate for an existing outbuilding. The applicable guidelines for Siding (1.11) recommend replacing deteriorated sections of historic wood siding with new or salvaged wood siding to match. In this regard the proposed work will be compliant. The guidelines for Demolition (7.1) recommend retaining historic garages in their original location and maintaining the original appearance Removing any historic feature considered significant to the architectural character and style of the building is disallowed. In this case, the added `bump out' or the rear of the garage is a significant historic feature and should be retained. For a garage from the early 20rh century, it is assumed that additions of this type were built to accondat vnoe the increasing size of newer cars. In the Longfellow IIistoric District, the loss of historic garages is a concern. Since the establishment of the district in 2002, removal of these small period structures has been slowed, but continuing loss is still a challenge for the neighborhood. Repairing the garage at 708 Rundell will better insure its survival, which is a high priority. If possible, the `bump out' addition should also be repaired and preserved. Staff recommends approval of this application, with suggestion to also repair the rear `bump out' addition.

A corresponding 8 inches will be removed from the bottom of the stud walls, inctudijig sill plates, in order- to remove the rotted material and so as root to alter the height of the original structure. A new sill plate of treated 2.x4 material will be installed and anchored to the new footing. Additionally, 2x4 studs will be replaced where needed. A bumped out section at the rear of the garage has also deteriorated beyond repair. This portion will be removed. Somo original siding from this section can be retained and reinstalled our the rear wall of the garage to replace the former bumped out section. Some additional new wood siding may be needed to match the existing and will be installed as needed. Additionally, new electrical wPring will be brought fi-om the house and all existing knob and tribe wiring will be replaced with now wiring. Materials to be Used 2x4 Treated lumber for sill plates 2x4 lumber for replacing darnaged studs where needed C:oncrote for new footing. This included rebar and mounting bolts to secure sill plate.

Classification: Contributing May 3, 2013 The applicants, 11eeyush pain and Ann Sinith, arc requesting approval for an addition project at 815 Brown Strect, a Contributing property in the Brown Street Historic District. The project consists of a one story addition on the rear of the house. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Staff Comments 'the house at 815 Brown Street is a 1 1/2 story open gable cottage in a modest Craftsman style. There is a gabled dormer on the cast side. The roofing is standing seam metal. The eaves are open, with exposed rafter tails, and decorative braces on the gable ends. The small front porch has a lip roof and is placed off -center; it has square battered columns and a solid balustrade. The wood siding on the house is narrow clapboard. The windows are one -over -one double -hung; the two windows on the front elevation are paired. The Site Inventory Form notes that construction may have been as early as 1916. The City Assessor lists 1929. The proposed project consists of a 12 ft. x 24 f , addition to the rear of the house. The addition will be one story with a basement. The roof will be a shallow hip; roofing will be standing searn metal. The siding will be painted lapped siding - either fiber cement board or LP SmartSide. Windows will be Jcld Wen wood double - hung windows, with custom mini/screen windows. 'hhe foundation will be concrete, paiged to match the existing foundation. These proposed materials and products are all compliant, with the exception of the IT SmartSide which requires approval by the Commission for use as a wood substitute. The guidelines for Additions emphasize the importance of preserving the character and features of the historic house, while designing an addition that is both compatible with and distinguished from the historic house. In the proposed project, this is accomplished with the placement of the addition at the back of the house; with the selection of materials and products similar to those of the historic house; and with the alignment of key horizontal lines between the old and the new, such as window heads, window sills, and the top of the foundation. The proposed project preserves the original walls and vertical corners of the house by slightly in -setting the walls of the addition. The roof of the addition is low to avoid conflict with an existing attic window, and the resulting low pitched lip roof creates a form that is easily distnguished from the form of the historic house. There is on unresolved conflict where the new roof meets the back wall of the house and the overhang of the existing roof. It is Staffs recommendation that these two very different roofs should be kept separate, and that a narrower overhang on (lie addition would allow the new roof to fit under the existing roof at this juncture. Staff recommends approval of this application, with the condition that the applicants provide a final roof design. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 815 Brown Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Provide final roof design for review and approval by Chair and Staff. _ f q,lit I tl 4: � pIIM 1 {IAA= ?

The UC-7 roofing panel offers a straightforward installation with the appearance of a thin -line standing seam. Method of Application: 1. A smooth, solid substrate of plywood, OBS, ora rigid insulation board mechanically attached to a steel deck is recommended for the Firestone UC-7 metal roof panel. 2. Firestone UC-7 panels may be installed in a non -sequential order. 3. Application of a Firestone approved underlayment prior to panel installation is recommended. Note: Install assembly according to Firestone Metal Design and Application Guides found an the Firestone websire. Follow approved installation detalls. Storage: • Firestone metal panels should be stored in a well ventilated, dry place where no moisture can contact them. Moisture (From rain, snow, condensation, ett.) trapped between layers of material may cause water stains or white rust, which can affect the service life of the material and will detract for the appearance. • If outdoor storage cannot be avoided, protect the panels with a ventilated canvas or waterproof paper cover. Do not use plastic, which can cause condensation. Keep the material off the ground in an inclined position with an insulator such as wood. Protective film may degrade or become brittle with long term exposure to direct sunlight. Precautions: • Oil canning is not a cause for rejection. Heavier gauges, narrower widths, striations, and embossing minimize oil canning. • Firestone recommends a minimum bend radius of 21. Anything less than a 2T bend radius can cause crazing to the materiat. Sealant for end laps and lap joints shall be non-drying, non -toxic, and non -shrinking with a serviceable temperature of —60 to 2129F (-51 to 100 PC). • Quality, long -life butyl sealants work best as a gasket sandwiched between two pieces of metal. Non -acetic cured silicone color matching sealants are recommended when voids must be filled. Sealants are not a substitute for proper assembly and workmanship. • Exercise caution when lifting, moving, transporting, storing or handling Firestone metal to avoid possible physical damage. • Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for safety information. • Immediately remove protective film after installation.

Gilbert Street District: Northside IIistoric District Classification: Key Contributing May 3, 2013 The applicant, Prestige Properties Development, is requesting approval for revisions to a previously approved alteration project at 331 N. Gilbert Street, a Key Contributing property in the Northside Historic District. The project consists of demolition of a one story room, modification of windows and vents, and application of a metal roof to the front porch. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Guidelines for Alterations 4.1 Balustrades and Handrails 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 4.13 Windows 5.2 Decks and Ramps 7.0 Guidelines for Demolition Staff Comments This two stony frame house was built c.1900; architect and builder are unknown. It is an early example of the Arriericau Four -square form, with a steeply pitched hipped roof and a gable wall dormer above a second story bay window on the front facade. A rwo-story bar addition is set beneath a gable roof on the south facade. A low-pitched hipped roof porch extends across the front with the nortb third now enclosed. There is a pediment above the wide entrance steps. Slender columns rest on paneled pedestals (the pedestals arc from a previous alteration), connected by a replacement balustrade with wide -spaced square balusters. When the north thud of the porch was enclosed, c. 1991, the window was moved forward to the front wall. The porch shirting has diagonal latticework design. Fenestration includes 1-over-1 double -hung sash and the cottage window with beveled glass transom. The house is set on a concrete block foundation and is clad in vinyl siding with a profile similar to narrow clapboard. In ,June 2012, staff conducted a Minor Review and approved a COA for Jcld Wen clad wood sash replacements. In July 2012, a Certificate of No Material Effect was issued for roofing replacement. In December 2013, the Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for: 1) removal of the exterior door from the west side second floor, 2) removal of the exterior stair from the west side, 3) removal of the entry room on the northwest corner, 4) construction of a deck on the southwest corner of the house and 5) restoration of the front porch to its original design. The apphcant has submitted a new application to: 1) remove a one story room or enclosed porch from the southwest corner of the house (the previously approved deck would increase in size to include the area of the porch), 2) replacement of attic vents in three gable ends with half round windows, 3) replacement of the existing vinyl lap siding in the gables with fish scale siding similar to the original siding, 4) application of a metal roof to the front porch, 5) addition of an awning widow on the second floor west elevation in the area where the second floor exterior door has been removed and 6) removal of the a small window on the south side of the house adjacent to bay. The room at the southwest corner of the house has already been removed without approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness or a Building Permit. Regardless of this work having been done without necessary approvals, the Commission should consider the Guidelines for Demolition when determining whether to approval this aspect of the application. In this case the portion of the building that has been removed was not significant to the architectural character and sLyle of the building. It was located on the back comer of the house and was not highly noticeable from the adjacent streets. Staff recommends approval of the removal of this room and the larger deck Details regarding the deck design should be submitted and approved by staff and the chair prior to construction. The other aspects of the application appear to meet the guidelines. 'the proposed half round windows in the attic gables will be similar to windows that appear in photos of the building before the vinyl siding was added. Photos also indicate that fish scale siding was present in the gables. The small window proposed to be removed from the south side of the house is in an unusual location and size for this style of house, and may have been added after construction. 'the awning window to be added to the west side of the house will prevent that side from having a blank fagade on the second floor. Ilistorically a metal roof would not have been unusual on the front porch, although, an expensive metal like copper would not have been likely used. The porch roof has a shallow pitch, so the roofing material is not highly visible or noticeable from the ground. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 331 N. Gilbert Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Provide design information for the new deck and deck railing, Final review and approval by Chair and Staff. }0 i IA lba n — rti�rtr. i rw+tea �4' III - .ci NW'i !li Illillilllllilllilll��l�;: ; 1 lil�ll IlllIIIIIIIIII�II IIIIt��:too I Al Applicatio Application for alterations to the historic landmarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 144C.

The project consists of the construction of a new three -stall garage with attached shop. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 6.0 Iowa City Iistoric Preservation Guidelines for New Construction 6.2 New Outbuildings Staff Comments The property at 2,160 South Gilbert Street is known as the historic James McCollister Farmstead. The original brick house was built in 1864 and was significantly added to in 1880. The resulting style is Italianate. Features of this style include the tall, narrow windows with arched heads and heavy decorative crowns; and the wide eaves with decorative cornice and paired brackets. The site of the McCollister Farmstead is recognized as the first farm in Johnson County. Philip Clark made the original claim on this land when it was opened for homesteading in 1837. Clark started a town named Napoleon on his claim just across the road from this site, and Johnson County was officially organized there in 1839. Clark sold the farm to McCollister in '1863. The historic farmstead included several smaller outbuildings and one large barn. Only ruins remain of these buildings. The site is now sub -divided. The proposed new garage will be built over the foundation of an earlier outbuilding located east of the house. The new garage will be 24' x 52' with an attic and an attached workshop; the shop will measure 22' s 16'. Exteriorsiding will be vertical board and batten, and the roofing will be asphalt shingles. The garage will have three single -wide garage doors and one walk door. The shop will have a pair of doors with full lites. Regarding new outbuildings, the guidelines recommend placement to the rear of the primary building; a design that is clearly subordinate in siac and ornamentation to the primary building; and a style that fits appropriately with the primary building. The guidelines recommend that garage doors be simple in design or be appropriate carriage -style doors. Single -car doors are preferable to doublecardoors. Garage doors, walk doors, and windows are to be trimmed to match. Windows should be relatively small and rectangular. Synthetic siding such as aluninum, vinyl, or false masonry is disallowed. In Staffs opinion, the plans for this new garage comply with the intent of the guidelines, although construction details are still too vague. Staff recommends approval of this application, with conditions as listed. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 2460 South Gilbert Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Provide product information for siding and roofing materials; Provide product information for doors and windows; Provide final design for review and approval by Chair and Staff. :R� yao, f� �/ a 4 �` t, � i ♦ � >bf� �� %III €� Y .• Mad f Via. tr�� .�d • .I„�'� I Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the historic landmarks or Properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 144C.

The project consists of the construction of a new single-family house. Applicable Rulations and Guidelines 6.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for New Construction 6.1 New Primary Structures Staff Comments The property at 2530 South Gilbert Street is known as the historic James McCollister Farmstead, and is recognized as the first farm in Johnson County. Philip Clark made the original claim on this land when it was opened for homesteading in 1837. Clark started a town named Napoleon on his claim just across the road from this site, and Johnson County was officially organized there in 1839, Clark sold the farm to McCollister in 1863. James McCollister was a successful cattle farmer and local leader. The farmstead's two-story brick Itahanate style house was built in 1864 and significantly added to in 1880. The historic farmstead also included several smaller outbuildings and a large barn. Only ruins remain of these buildings. The farm stayed in the McCollister family until 1974. The site is now sub divided. In 2005, the Historic Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition of the historic barn on this property, as storm damage had caused it to become structurally unsound, beyond repair, and a potential hazard. In 2007, the IIistoric Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for alterations to an existing non historic shed located behind the historic McCollister house. The proposed new house will be built on the site of the old barn. 'I his was a large bank barn measuring 45 ft. x 80 ft., with a native limestone foundation, and wood framing that included hand -pegged beams. Some of the stone, umber, and other components of the barn have been salvaged for use in the new house. The new house will have an L-shaped plan. The front elevation, facing north, will be 62 ft. wide The house will be approximately 63 ft. deep, with an additional 10 ft. deep deck on the south side. Like the old barn the house will be `banked', with one story exposed on the north side, and two stories exposed on the south and west sides. The approach to the house will be from the existing lane drat runs east from Gilbert Street. From Gilbert Street and the lane, the south and west sides of the house will be the most prominent elevations. Viewed from the historic McCollister house, the north and west sides of this house will be most prominent. It is the intent of the guidelines for New Construction that any new building must be compatible Nvith the character of the historic neighborhood in which it is located. In this case, the new house must be. compatible with the character of the landmark farmstead, and in this setting the proposed barn -like style and character of the new house seems appropriate. Phe proposed materials and products for the house include the following: A concrete veneer product called `Stackstone.' by J&N Stone is proposed for exposed foundation and lower level walls. This product simulates the appearance of weathered stone laid with tight, thin joints. The veneer is approximately 1 inch _luck, adhered to the wall with mortar, and grouted. Per the guidelines, artificial stone is disallowed, and using thin veneer masonry is not recommended. Real stone, salvaged from the old barn, will be used for retaining walls. The salvaged stone will also be used around the fireplace in the Great Room. Steel siding with vetucal snap -on battens — simulating the look of boards and battens — is proposed for the siding This is a Pac-Clad product. While board and batten siding is appropriate for this house, steel is not an approved substitution for wood. A substitute material must be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Commission. As a substitute for wood, the guidelines recommend fiber cement board with a smooth finish. The proposed roofing is a metal standing seam product from either Pac-Clad or from McElroy Metal, Inc. This would be simlar to the historic McCollister house which has standing seam metal roofing. Also note the two proposed cupolas, similar in design to the cupolas of the old barn. Proposed windows are Anderson `Woodwright' double -hung windows. These are similar to vinyl windows with interior wood. The exterior material is a structural composite which includes recycled wood fiber. This is not an approved window product, and the guideline exceptions for vinyl or vinyl -clad windows do not apply to this property. The elevation drawings indicate trim around the windows, but the material is not identified. The application for review does not include information on the proposed exterior doors. Proposed garage doors are from the `Courtyard Collection' bV Overhead Door. The doors are single -car width, with a design that has cross -brace trim, no windows, no hardware. This is an insulated steel door. The panels have a smooth finish, and the tram boards have a wood -grain texture. 'Prim is indicated around the doors, but the material is not identified. Decks on the south side of the house are shown with tailings that appear to meet the guidelines for balustrade and handrail design, although materials and finish are not indicated. Proposed color for the metal roofingis a light tan color. Proposed color for the metal siding is a darker tan or a grey -green color. Proposed color for the windows is a darker grey -brown color. While the location and the style of the proposed new house are appropriate for the historic setting, there are materials and products in this proposal that do not comply with the guidelines for new construction. Staff offers the following recorrimendadons: Regarding the concrete veneer product, the proposed wall sections can be redesigned to incorporate it natural stone veneer or a structural rnasonry product, or an exception can be made for the proposed product. To allow an exception, the Commission must determine that use of the product satisfies the intent of the guidelines. See 3.2 of the Iowa Cite IIis'toric Preservation Handbook for information on Exceptions. Further research may be required. Inspecting an installation of the proposed product is recommended. Regarding the proposed steel siding, fiber cement board is the only approved substitute for wood, and is Staffs recommendation for this house. The aesthetic difference between metal siding and wood is significant. In this historic agricultural setting, the appropriate material is painted wood or painted fiber cement board. Regarding the windows, lie composite material of the Anderson `Woodwright' has not been approved and would require further research bV Staff. Wood windows or metal -clad wood windows are acceptable and readily available from several approved manufacturers. Wood or Fiber cement board is recommended for the trim boards around the windows and doors. Staff recommends approval of this application, with conditions as listed Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 2.30 South Gilbert Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Provide acceptable stone veneer product, compatible with the characteristics of the salvaged stone; Board and batten siding to be fiber cement board, with shaped battens; Windows to be wood or metal -clad wood; Provide product literature for exterior doors; "1'rim boards to be wood or fiber cement board; Confirm material and finish for deck railings; Provide above information for review and approval bl' Chair and Staff. d \a ZY, . 37J I A 1 2q, Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the historic landmarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 14-4C.

Gilbert St. Iowa City, Iowa New Home We have revised the house plans to remove one window from the west elevation. �Ve also removed some of the stone and removed the shake singles from the north elevation, per city's request. We plan to have a metal roof on our home. It will be a standing seam &Sore product. The product will be from Metal Sales manufacturing corporation. The color 7 will be c aytone , which is very similar to the historic home at 2460 S. Gilbert. The garage doors will be from Overhead Doors and have a barn door X on them. There will be no windows on the doors and no hardware. The color will be sandstone. The windows will be Anderson double hung windows with no grills. Exterior frame color will be terratone. The homes foundation will be similar to the barns limestone foundation walls. It is a veneer concrete product from Kings Material called stackstone from J & N Stone. We have salavaged the barn foundation rock and plan to use it on the retaining walls by the home. Our plans show that we want the siding to look like board and batten barn siding. Our builder has recommended using steel siding with ribs that run vertical and appear to be battens. The same product appears on all city maintenance buildings that are visible from the property. We believe that it would be difficult to know what the product is from the distance of the home at 2460 S. Gilbert or from the street. Also, the neighbors at 2460 S. Gilbert approve the steel siding. It has been suggested that we use a cement board product and fiberglass battens. In researching this avenue it is apparent that the cost immediately adds approximately $14,000.00 in extra expense to have the exterior painted. This is a significant cost and would require a repainting expense every 10 years.

Over brick, block, painted concrete, or new concrete, metal lath should be applied to ensure a good bond. Over exterior wall construction, a weather resistance barrier must be applied first under the metal lath. Please consult our installation instructions, or call our technical department for assistance. 1. Preparing the surface J & N Stone can be applied to any structurally sound surface. Due to its light weight, no special foundation or structural alterations are necessary. On masonry walls (block, poured concrete, full brick) install 2.5 galvanized mesh directly to surface using concrete fasteners with a minimum of 3/4" length and a minimum 3/8" diameter head. For all wood or steel stud construction, all exterior sheatings should be covered with weather resistant barriers with an ASTM E1677 Type 1 such as TyvekO. Apply a minimum of 15 Ib. Felt Paper as well. Then 2.5 galvanized metal lath should be attached with galvanized nails or staples penetrating 1" into stud, 16" on center, with nails 6" apart. Lath to metal studs should be done with non -corrosive self tapping screws having a minimum of 1" in length and minimum of 3/8" diameter head. Metal lath must overlap 4" at horizontal and vertical joints. Vertical joints must overlap on a stud. Grout Joint J & N Stone Product Mular Coat Ma tal Lath Weather Ros;3tance Barnef Exterior Sheating 2. Applying the Scratch Coat As a rule, lathed surface should be covered with a thin coat mortar (Type 5 ASTM C720) and allowed to set prior to installing the J & N Stone. Mortar can be mixed with enough water to achieve a workable (not too wet, or dry) consistency. The same can be used for scratch coating, for applying the J & N Stone and for grouting the joints. 3. Mortaring the Stone Before starting to install J & N Stone, it is best to lay out the stone near your working area to give you a better choice of stone. Select a stone and apply a 1"thick, even layer of mortar to the back of the stone. 4. Applying the Stone Press the J & N Stone firmly into place on the wall surface so that mortar behind the stone squeezes out around all sides. Using a gentle wiggling action while applying the stone will insure a good bond. In warm weather, masonry surfaces may need to be dampened prior to installing the stone so that the moisture will not be drawn - -. from the mortar to rapidly. To keep the stone clean during construction, start installing J & N Stone at the top of the wall surface and work down. Install the corner stones first for easiest fitting. When selecting stones, try to achieve a balanced pattern of shapes, sizes, colors, thickness and textures. Keep the mortar joints between the stones as tight and as uniform as possible. Avoid long straight unbroken lines. 5. Trimming the Stone When necessary, J & N Stone can be cut and shaped with a hatchet, brick trowel or nippers to form special sizes and shapes for better fitting. Always try to position the trimmed stones on the wall surface so that the cut edges will not show. 6. Grouting the Joints After all of the J & N Stones has been applied to the wall surface, fill a grout bag with mortar, and in the manner of decorating a cake, partially fill the joints between the stones with mortar. Be sure, while grouting, to cover any noticeable broken stone edges with mortar. If you prefer colored mortar joints, oxide colors can be mixed with your mortar prior to grouting. All J & N Stone must have grout between each stone. We DO NOT WARRANTY a drystacking installation. 7. Striking the Joints When the mortar joints become firm, use a wooden or metal w striking tool to rake out the excess mortar to the desired depth and at the same time to force the mortar into the joints to thoroughly seal the joint edges. Be careful not to work the joints too soon or the mortar will smear. 8. Brooming Brush the mortar joints with a whiskbroom or soft brush to smooth them and clean away the loose mortar. At the same time, broom off any mortar spots from the face of the stone. Loose mortar and mortar spots which have set for only a few hours clean up easily and should never be allowed to set overnight. 9. Completion J & N Stone does not require a sealer to warrant its guarantee. J & N Stone does not cover damage to its product from building settlement, excessive contact with salt or de-icing chemicals, paint or airborne contaminants. ACID should NOT be used for clean up. Consult your dealer or call J & N Stone, Inc. for more details. J & N Stone. 905 E.

Indicate in your meeting announcement that a rcvic%v copy of (lie nomination is available and where the review copy can be found. 1'he question io answer when revicNning the nomination is whether the nominated property meets the National Register of historic Places significance criteria. If the Commission feels that the nomination makes the case for meeting significance criteria, the: Commission should check the box recommending that the property he listed It lice Commission heels that the property does not meet the significance criteria, then check the box recommending that the property not be listed. The Mayor should 1_1se the same approach when revicwing the nomination. e You might want to invite the individual who prepared the nomination to attend the pu[+c meeting, and present 11,c nomination. Keep a record of the meeting (copy of nolicc, agenda, minutes, list ofettendccs). At the conclusion ofthe meeting, the Commission should malt a motion regarding their rccommcrrdation.

If a State preservation professional was needed to complete Item #3 on the review form, I will return a copy to the commission for filing. I f the I i istoric Preservation Commission and the Mayor disagree with one another on the property's Nutionaf Register eligibility, both views will be presented to the SNRC for their consideration during review of the nomination. If both the Iistoric Preservation Commission (by Commission majority) and the Mayor do not consider the property eligible fcr National Register listing, we must halt the nomination.

United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 7 Pago I 7. Description The property at 518 East Bowery Street on Lot 15, Block 6 of Lyon's Second Addition, in Iowa City, Iowa is a representative survivor of small specialty shops from the 19th century. Known for eighty years as a neighborhood grocery store, this remnant of local history is often referred to as the Bowery Street Grocery. The simple, utilitarian style of the building was suited to commercial purposes, and also had the capacity to serve as a dwelling for the owners or store operators over the years, Constructed in a vernacular style with balloon framing and a steeply pitched gable roof, the rectangular shop originally measured 18' wide by 30'deep. The placement of the building close to the sidewalk, street, and alley indicates it was intended to function as a storefront from the beginning. As noted by architectural historian Marlin Ingalls, the pitch of the roof at 518 E. Bowery "is very steep and matches the two houses to its west, which were possibly built in the mid to late 1860s." t The semi -circular false fapade rising above the south front, masks the street -facing gable and provides space for signage to attract customers, The one -and -one -half -story building has a one-story addition on the back of the building on the north side, measuring 18' wide by 10' deep. The addition has a shed roof, sloping downward towards the north, A non - extant gable -roofed shed (perbaps used as warehouse space or as a horse barn) stood on the northeast corner of the lot The 1899 Sanborn fire insurance map shows the footprint of the store with the addition and the shed on the north, while the 1912 Sanborn map shows another small shed linking the buildings.2 This configuration of buildings on the narrow lot remained the same from 1912 until the 1980s.3 Built at ground level without a basement, an access hole allowed Ingalls to view and describe the building's foundation: Supporting the flooring are the floorjoists, which measured 9%L" x 1114". The joist appear to be on 24" centers and run from joist pockets in the outside sill beams to the center of the building where an approximately 6" x 6" beam runs at a right angle to the floor joists. 'Phis beam appears to sit atop a post set vertically into the ground, Whether the joist spans the whole distance from wall to wall or has overlapping ends is unknown. The sill beams measured 7" x 9%". This is consistent with the height of the floor joists."4 South side: The architectural integrity of the false front on the south side has been preserved as the most prominent feature facing the street, reaching the height of 19' 4" at the center top. Renovation of the front display windows, using more appropriate materials, will restore a historically accurate appearance (Figure 12). Ingalls, Marlin R. 2013.

United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 7 Two large display windows face the street, with a southern exposure bringing bright light into the interior. A high ceiling also reflects light towards the back of the store interior. Originally, the framed windows on either side of the front door, each approximately G' wide by 7' high, were divided into smaller panes of glass. In the early 1980s, the glass was replaced with acrylic windows, and later the windows had panels of stained glass and frosted glass. An etched glass panel with the address, 518 Bowery, was placed in the lantern window over the front door, At an earlier time, a window air conditioner occupied the transom space above the door (Figure 10), The front door, with manufactured leaded glass panels, will be replaced as it diminishes the historical integrity of the building's front. The striped awnings were probably added, not only to shade the interior from excess light, but to restore or suggest the look of a storefront. They will also be removed. The renovation underway will restore the appearance of the building to the period of significance, 1897-1963. Cast side: The only other window bringing light directly into the front part of the building is a 32" wide transom window, with two panes, over the door on the east wall leading to the alley. A wood door is visible from the exterior of the building, but access has been blocked off and the interior wall is covered with drywall and wainscoting. "]'his resulted in a re -alignment of the bottom of the staircase. Originally designed to lead directly out the side door to the alley, the base of the stairs is now at a 90-degree angle to the east wall. In former times, the staircase offered a private entrance to the upstairs when it served as a rental unit or one-half of a duplex. Along the east wall of the addition, another door once existed but the opening has been closed off for years. An historically appropriate door will be visible from the exterior after renovation, but it will he closed off due to safety considerations. West side: The west side of the building features one window as part of the addition: a 36" wide rectangular window, with companion storm window, both of which appear to be part of the original building fabric. With three -over -throe glass panes, the nnmtins have a cross section characteristic that may match window millwork dating from the mid-1911' century. The muntin cross section is characteristically thin and tall when compared with later examples, This element serves as a key to dating the original building materials. North side: The narrow, wood weatherboard siding on the north end of the building is visible on the exterior of the second story, and on the south interior wall of the addition — suggesting that the first version of the building was clad in wood siding, and the addition may have been an open porch area at the back of the store before it was enclosed prior to 1899. As Ingalls observed, "Several reconstructions have taken place over the years with the most obvious being the north addition, which used later lumber, hardward, and plaster. The interior north wall of the building was replastered at that time." s ' Ibid., Page 1. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocer Sy tore Johnson County, Iowa __. Section number 7 The north wall of the addition has two windows flanking the door. The larger one, 60" wide but divided into smaller panes, slides on a track with the sashes hanging horizontally, indicating it was possibly a former upstairs window that was reused. The other north window is 32" wide, a rectangle shape similar to the window on the west wall, with three -over -three glass panes. A modern 36" wide door on the north wall of the addition provides access to the open area between the store and the garage. This door will be replaced with a more historically accurate door. Wooden fencing once enclosed a patio area on the west and east sides, with a gate opening towards the west but the fencing was removed in April 2013 to make room for parking. Exterior Appearance: Early in the 20`r' century, three sides of the exterior of the store were covered in concrete stucco, but probably not before 1920, as the earlier fire maps did indicates other buildings where stucco also appears -- on a house two doors down as well as on houses on nearby Johnson Street, A plat map of the property, drawn in 1922 as part of the abstract of title, identifies the concrete stucco on the sketch, as well as a concrete pad in front of the building.6 A tin roof with seams protects the main building, as do metal gutters and downspouts. The defining architectural feature of the building, the false storefront, provides clues as to the age of the building and illustrates a proto- typical method of construction for mid-19°' century small scale retail shops, The arch -shaped backside, not visible from the street, is covered with wood weatherboard siding and metal flashing where it joins the roof. Metal flashing also appears at the base of the chimney where the brickwork meets the roof. Richard 11ugill, who maintained the building in the 1980s, replaced the shed -style roof on the addition with a recycled metal roof from an old barn in Muscatine County.7 The narrow land parcel is 21' wide by 70' deep and the building, measuring 18' by 40% occupies most of that space. Sheds and outbuildings were commonly situated at the edges of lots, as shown on the fire insurance maps. A frame shed with a gable roof, and heavy wooden bam-like door, once occupied the north end of the lot. Former owners report that the space between the back of the grocery store and the shed was covered with a canopy or roof that extended north to connect the main building to the shed, A photograph front 1982 (Figure 2) documents how the property looked along the alley for many decades before the old sheds and rotted wood canopy were torn down by owner Richard Ilugill.$ c Abstract ofTitie to East21 ft. of South 70 ft. of Lot 15, Block 6, Lyons 2nd Addition, Iowa City, Iowa, 18,15-2005.

United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery. Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 7 Page 4 Around 2004, the old shed was replaced by a single car garage, which was situated close to the alley, on the footprint of the original shed. The 12' x 16' garage was considered a non-contributing building because it featured new framing, siding, and roofing, even if some of the materials and fabric dated back to the era of the shed. Only a few inches separate the buildings from the public alley, making public safety a concern. To comply with zoning restrictions, exceptions granted by the local Board of Adjustment, and parking requirements, the non-contributing garage and adjoining fence were torn down in April 2013 to make room for two parking spaces, including one handicapped parking space. Photographs of the non-contributing building are including in the nomination papers, Interior Spaces: Pall of the appeal of this historic artifact is the sense of place created by an old-fashioned shopping space, so compact when compared with expansive food markets commonly introduced in the last half of the 20`i' century. Gone are the display racks in the center of the floor, but long wooden shelves line the entire west wall for 23', offering ample space for display of grocery items. Painted wood wainscoting lines the perimeter of the room, 4' high from the floor to the top rail. The interior walls are finished with hand -applied plaster over standardized wooden slats. The ceiling is 8'9" high, and currently electrical lights and a fan are suspended over the main floor. 'Tongue -and -groove flooring covers the floor on the first level, with faded spots where floor stands stood in the space towards the front half of the store, an area measuring 18' wide by 14' deep.10 The addition on the north side of the building has a concrete floor, A well-worn door threshold joins the main room on the first floor to the addition on the north side of the building, leading to an 18' wide by 10'dcep room with a shed roof. The interior walls of this addition are covered with 8" wide, horizontal wood siding or paneling on the west, north, and east sides while the north wall shows the exposed narrow clapboard siding originally on the exterior of the building, A sink was located at the back of the store during part of the building's history according to one store owner, and a recessed opening served as a pass -through window from the rear wall of the store to the addition. According to memories of those who occupied the space, a meat locker and butcher's block were located along the back wall of the store's main showroom, t i Cattle bones were found underneath the floorboards in this area when examined by Ingalls. A small closet under the staircase provides storage, and the ceiling is slanted outward to accommodate the stairs overhead. v Ingalls, Pages 2-3, Ingalls determined the altered north wall had a different plaster applied at a later date, but plaster on the other walls was "consistent with mid-19" centary construction" and used "only a single creamy -yellow vegetable fiber" as a binder. 10 IbidLrgalls writes, `Two distinct layers of longue -and -groove flooring are present. The top lay appear to dale to tle 1870s or 1880s and is of yellow pine and, thicker, and better cut. The lower laym is narrower and slightly thinner. It lies atop a sub floor flat appears typical of Iowa City sub flooring, which didn't appreciably change firm ea. 1850 to ca. 1890." Michelle L. Wiegand, Notes from conversation with Richard D. Hugill, Iowa City, Iowa, May 11, 2012, United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery More Johnson County, Iowa Section number 7 The half -story upstairs is reached by a staircase on the north end of the first floor, near an exit door to the east that is no longer in use. Besides the transom light over this former door opening, the upper level is illuminated with light from two double -hung sash windows on the north side and one similar window on the south side. All three upstairs windows measure 36" wide by 60" high, though the window casements and sashes were have been replaced, The renovation plans call for new four -pane windows in historic character with the period of significance. As described by Marlin Ingalls, the stairs to the second level resemble "what is referred to as a `coffin' staircase with very narrow treads and a 45-degree turn as it approached the rear (north) wall from where it ran upward to the garret room." He examined five nails from the staircase tread, which had "a bull -nose front edge."12 A brick chimney, likely made of locally manufactured bricks, rises from the main level to above the roofline on the north end. Metal plates covering stovepipe holes are visible along the north wall on the first level, hinting at the use of a pot-bellied stove for heat, Measuring approximately 21 V2" by 21 V2", the brick chimney is exposed to view on the interior of the second level. Slanted ceilings from the gable roof limit the amount of space where people can stand upright to the central area of the second level. Undoubtedly used for storage of trade goods, the second floor also served as living quarters for some of the building's occupants. Bathroom fixtures on the second floor, including a sink, toilet, and claw foot bathtub, have been removed as they do not meet code requirements. Painted drywall covers the roof rafters and hardwood floors cover the central area. A small walk-in room was created on one side to house a new furnace, air -conditioner, and HVAC ductwork. The furnace and air conditioner unit had been located in the first floor addition on the back of the store until February 2013 when new plumbing, wiring, HVAC system, and batinoom fixtures were installed. After the grocery store era ended in mid-1975, the property was converted to residential use, and functions of certain parts of the building changed. In order to make the space more livable, minor modifications were made to the interior, mostly in the addition on the north side, Walls or partitions were put up to provide privacy for the bathroom facilities in the addition. The removal of a shower during recent renovations allows a 32" wide window on the north side to be exposed again rather than covered. A 32" wide door on the east side of the addition, leading to the alley, was previously sealed off, and will remain so, but an wooden door will be visible on the exterior.13 All of the electrical conduits and piping for indoor plumbing are exposed in the addition, rather than hidden behind walls, proof these modernizing elements were installed long after the original construction date. Ingalls, Page 3, "Abstract of Title, 1845-2005. After sitting vacant [or a year, the properly was sold to a woman for use as a residence instead of a storefront. Using funds from a city rehabilitation program in 1994, the owner engaged in remodeling the interior — introducing the first major set of alterations to the interior of the building since the addition was placed on the north side in the 19°i century. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa section number 7 Pane 6 Historic Integrity This property retains historic integrity of those features necessary to convey its significance in terms of location, design, setting, materials, wotlnnanship, feeling, and association. Location: There is no definitive way to determine conclusively who built the building or exactly when. The building was constructed at the same location after 1857 and prior to 1868. By narrowing the date of construction to that period, one of two properly owners were the persons responsible for the building located at 518 E. Bowery. The visual and forensic evidence for dating the building materials and construction methods to this period, regardless of function or use, is backed up by written documentation to a certain extent. Comprehensive research was conducted using primary sources like the abstract of title for the property, Johnson County deed books and tax records, Iowa City assessor's records, city directories, census records, newspapers, county histories, obituaries, probate records, and maps. Evidence points to either John M. Haas, an immigrant from Baden, Germany, who was involved in the grocery trade and was the first to purchase the newly subdivided Lot 15 in Block 5 in December 1856; or alternatively, but less likely, it might have been Emery T. Seymour, who aquired the land from Haas in August 1864 and held on to it until 1873'14 By 1897, the building was most definitely being used as a grocery store and a series of owners and renters over subsequent decades were predominately engaged in selling groceries or butchering meat. Design: Integrity of design is apparent, as much of the building remains the same in terms of scale, proportion, organization of space, and materials as when it was built in the mid-19t1i century. 15 The building reflects historic functions and the aesthetics of the time, a period of rapid growth when low-cost, vernacular construction dominated. Adaptations to the original building, such as cladding the roof in metal or adding the stucco finish to the exterior, occurred over time but did not rob the building of a sense of place and continuity. Just as the front fagade harks back to an earlier time, walking into the interior space is also a step backwards in time. Visual reference points for original design elements can be seen in the store's open floor space, the way the back of the store is lit by expansive front windows, the high ceiling, and the windowless side walls designed to accommodate shelving for store products. Setting: The setting of the property is important as the building was deliberately built along a main thoroughfare, near a high traffic area, so as to attract business. Like other commercial structures, the front of the building was placed closer to the sidewalk and road, whereas the house next door is set back. Those who lived, " Ihid.; Johnson County, Iowa. 1856, 1857, 1858, 1859, 1860, 1861, 1862, and 1865 Tax Lists, Iowa City, John M. Ilaas, Special Collections, State Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa City. In late 1856, John M. Haas (1804-1895) acquired the undeveloped Lot 15 from E. C, Lyon, who sub -divided his large estate after donating land for Iowa City's first railroad depot. Haas could have erected the building at 518 E. Bowery Street and the house next door soon after he and his wife, Anna Maria, purchased lot 15. if not Haas, it is possible the next owners, turnery T. and Sarah Seymour, erected the building next to the alley on Bowery Street. " Ingalls, Page 4. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 7 worked, or visited the property at 5I S E. Bowery were initially part of the neighborhood surrounding the railroad depot one block south, with a livestock yard and plenty of activity. In the 1860s and 1870s, residential construction was burgeoning along streets connecting the neighborhood to the downtown commercial district, and manufacturers established factories on and South Gilbert Street, a few blocks away. As noted by Molly Naumann in her survey of the area, many of the oldest residences built in the 19`h and early 20"' centuries along South Johnson and South Van Buren were later replaced by apartment complexes, to Yet, there are still several examples of earlier homesteads tucked in among the streets surrounding the depot— on I.ucas, Dodge, Johnson, and Van Buren Streets. A half block west of 518 E. Bowery, a old brick -paved portion of Van Buren Street extends south one block toward the original depot location, suggesting the ambience of earlier days when travelers and townspeople needed a passable road in all seasons. Nearby architectural remnants of the past contribute to the historic setting, including a row of 19th century built houses directly to the west of 518 E. Bowery. Either direction from the grocery store on Bowery are significant historical properties: the Close Mansion one -and -one-half blocks to the west; or only a half -block away, the McConnell -Bristol home dating from the late 1870s, which is situated on the southeast corner of Bowery and Johnson, Both of these substantial Italianate-style brick homes date from the mid-1870s and are on the National Regiser of Historic Places. The original setting for the grocery store is now quite different, but the building stands sentinel to this change and serves as a reminder of how this corridor of Iowa City developed in "The Railroad Era (1856- 1898)" t 1 Materials: Materials used in the construction of the building remain essentially intact. As with most vernacular wood frame architecture, adaptations were made over the course of one hundred years or more of existence. Although alterations have taken place, the property retains its original identity and the exterior is visually recognizable as a significant representation of an earlier time. Some of the original fabric has been lost through renovations, and the stucco hides the materials used underneath, but the basic physical characteristics are the same. Modern plumbing, newer exterior doors, and renovation of the front display windows are examples of changes made to the building, which ultimately extend it's life and usefulness. Workmanship: The integrity of the workmanship is apparent in the building as a whole, and in specific components like the wood balloon framing, narrow staircase, hand -applied plaster, wood flooring, brick masonry on the chimney or the methods used to build the curved false front. Construction techniques for vernacular, gable roof buildings were cormnonly known and practiced on every type of building from house to store, or church to school. The building looks plain and simple, built by the hands of skilled carpenters and laborers. Some elements of the original workmanship, like the roof and front windows were compromised but the overall integrity and quality of the work done by 19`' century laborers remains. In Molly Naumann. Reconnaissance Survey of the Area Bounded by Gilbert, Burlington and (iovernor Streets and the Iowa Interstate Railway Tracks in Iowa City, Iowa, HADB report, March 1990, Page 45, Iowa City Historic Preson,alion Pim, Historic Resources of Iowa City, 1992, Page Q-5. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 7 Page 8 Peeling: The building itself conveys an overall feeling of the 19t" century in terms of design and character, and serves as a reminder of the importance of a reliable and familiar grocery to the town's residents, particularly in the days when most transportation was by foot or by horse-drawn vehicles. No convenient parking, other than on the street, was provided for the customers who might drive an automobile in the later years of the grocery's existence, so most customers came from the immediate vicinity. Situated a half -block from a brick -lined street leading to the spot where the depot once was, a strong sense of history can be felt when imagining how the neighborhood might have looked in the 19`t' century, Several surviving buildings in the vicinity were constructed in the same era, so preserving this property contributes to the historical feeling already present on Bowery Street and nearby historic districts like the Summit Street neighborhood. Association: Identifying historical integrity through association to events or individuals is possible with this property as demonstrated by previous studies of Iowa City's social history and built environment, including those done by preservationists and scholars like Naumarm, Svendsen, and Nash; or local historians like hying B. Weber, who verified how important neighborhood groceries were to the fabric of the community.ts The historical context of the various grocery stores located at 518 E. Bowery also helps illurninate how local experiences can differ over time, or from community to community, and thus expands the interpretive possibilities for state and national history. Moreover, it can serve as a vehicle for understanding how architecture can convey the story of a community's development, and how working men and women involved in retail trade can impact a neighborhood by providing a gathering place for socializing and commerce, During the course of eight decades, these entrepreneurs provided daily sustenance and ordinary consumer goods to a wide range of customers over several generations. Preserving this modest storefront will help convey how business was conducted in smaller, decentralized locations across the city, as well as serving as a reminder of how early grocery stores might have looked in other villages and towns in Iowa before larger markets replaced the older commercial buildings. 1A Nash, Jan Olive. 2002.

Statement of Significance Summary of Significance The Bowery Street Grocery Store property at 518 East Bowery Street is locally significant under Criterion A for its association with events that have made a significant contribution to American history, standing as an example of the commercial side of town building. The history of the building showcases the stories of individuals who marketed conswner goods, unified the residents of a neighborhood by giving them a common meeting ground, and created economic opportunities for women working outside the home. The nation's experience with western expansion into the Trans -Mississippi region in the 19tr' century is reflected in the history of this building; a local example of how settlers and immigrants came to Iowa City and Johnson County to establish themselves and contribute to the prosperity of the community. The building is a representative survivor of a small retail store with a false front once common in Iowa's towns and cities. The building retains original design characteristics that match up with the historical context of settlement patterns and the boom in town development in Iowa City in the mid to late 19°i century, The primary date of significance for the building is circa 1897, when city directory lists a "Groceries and Meat Market" at this address." An addition with a shed roof was added to the north side of the original gable -roofed building, as shown on a Sanborn fire insurance map dating from 1899, The period of significance for the property extends from circa 1897 to t963, when a neighborhood grocery store operated out of this building as documented by city directories and fire insurance maps.21 Until the last grocery at this address closed in 1975, subsequent owners and occupants worked independently as entrepreneurs. Although some were renters not owners, these people chose to establish a small business in order to realize the American dream of supporting themselves and their families. The various grocers contributed to community life and adapted to historical circumstances. Remarkably, the building itself remained largely unchanged in character and became known as a familiar local lanchmark. Origins of the Building The property at 518 East Bowery Street in Iowa City, known for eighty years as a neighborhood grocery store, is a remnant of the past, often referred to as the Bowery Street Grocery, regardless of who ran it. The building reflects historic functions and retains essential physical features common to a bygone era. Simple in construction, small in scale, utilitarian in function, the building represents a typical wooden false front of the mid-19°i century. The store exterior and layout of the interior remain largely intact, serving as examples of how a small specialty shop fit into a residential area. Lacking elaborate ornamentation or fancy architectural details, the building is consistent with the functional style and basic construction techniques used by local carpenters 'v srnUh�y Dil eclory oflo iva Cily for 1897-1898.

Very similiarly styled storefronts existed throughout Iowa's small towns and villages for over a hundred years but few remain in good repair, or still retain their original look. Key characteristics of the building's original fabric are "consistent with mid- 19fh century construction" methods and materials. 21 Architectural historian and archaeologist Marlin Ingalls's analysis of materials through visual observation, use of simple measuring devices, and microscopic examination of plastic samples and nails from the staircase tread allowed comparison of the framing, wood, plaster, and nails in relation to materials in common use in Iowa and the midwest in this time period'12 In terms of the wood framing analysis, Ingalls reported: The building's size, form, and location are consistent with mid-l9th century construction and its function as a single proprietor local commercial building. The building is balloon -framed with a combination of local woods and rafted yellow pine fi om northern forests. Several reconstructions have taken place over the years with the most obvious being the north addition, which used later lumber, hardware, and plaster."23 IIe wrote, "While not conclusive it is also consistent with antebellum design and location in a neighborhood with numerous 1850s buildings." 2`' Analyzing the building's plaster led Ingalls to conclude that "two completely different plasters were used." Sample 1, taken from the west wall's north comer "dates ca. 1855" and sample 2, taken from the altered north wall "dates ca. 1880." He determined that sample 1 "represents the original plaster. Its color, tempering, binder, and application are consistent with a hand -applied plaster front the mid-19th century."25 Ingalls examined four fine finish nails and one framing nail under a microscope, concluding that: Both types of nails exhibit manufacturing attributes related to the mid-19th century. Three attributes strongly support this conclusion. The first is the grain direction of the iron, which is oriented across the nail and not down its length. The second is the presence of a single manufacturing facet produced as a result of the ingalls, Page 4. Ibid., Pages 1-2. Ingalls writes Terms such as mid-19th or late 19th century can be used to generally attribute materials to certain years or time periods. Over time manufacturing attributes change as does their application, The materials used in plaster or the type and dimensions of the wood used for framing can be attributed to their accessibility, periods of growth, places ofproduction, elements of manufacturing, distribution, and application during construction all help for the basis for dating a building or structure."

The third is the slightly offset nail head with corner burrs, None of these nails have the faceted shames that are so common during this period and in this area,"26 In summary, Ingalls determined that: 1) framing and wood is consistent with mid-19th century to 1880s construction 2) a sample of plaster from the west wall's north corner was consistent with mid-191a century construction nail examples were consistent with mid-19f1' century construction hardware." 27 Historical Background of Commercial Architecture in Iowa, 1857-1898 The Bowery Street Grocery Store building at 518 E. Bowery could easily be overlooked in terms of its historical significance, but the building represents an architectural prototype used for small retail shops and specialty stores in the 191" century. Unlike existing grocery stores, this building harks back to a time when an 19' x 30' space was sufficient to meet the needs of regular customers seeking a convenient and nearby place to shop. During "The Railroad Era (1856-1898)" in Iowa City, "the population grew rapidly from 2,570 in 1854 to 6,316 in 1856, before reaching 7,987 in 1900." 2s Fitting the pattern of settlement, the building was constructed in a key location near a busy depot and thoroughfare. The building has acquired significance through association with important historic events, patterns of social behavior, and many representative individuals who built, worked, or lived there. The definitive study, "Iowa's Main Street Commercial Architecture," written by Jan Olive Nash in 2002, provides the necessary background on architectural styles and historical interpretation for understanding the context in which this particular building existed. As Nash writes, "To understand the Main Street landscape, it is necessary to know the forces that created, sustained, and changed Iowa's towns. During PG Ibid., Page 4. As Ingalls points out on page 1 of his report, when conducting materials analysis, "The dating of buildings by their building materials or by a single building materiel is difficult. A wide knowledge of local and regional construction, manufacturing attributes, availability, and a wide sample of materials for identification and comparison helps to determine the probable dale of a building, One element recognized as especially useful for determining the age of a building is the eonmion nail. Its manufacturing attributes have been used for decades to help determine the period of construction for buildings, firminno, ships, or anything else into which a nail can be driven into, pulled out of, or left behind in the dirt. Nail analysis does not give an absolute date. Temporally there is much crossover in types, use, materials, teclwology, and application. Any 19th century building is a melding of all of these things.

Historic Resources of Iowa City, 1992, Page Q-5 An article in the October 31, 1855 edition of The Roporter ran a brief notice, "Vicinity of the Depot," which stated "Houses are coming up in this portion of the city in great numbers," Although John NI, Haub was in Iowa Cily by 1853 and he acquired the lot at 518 E. Bowery in December of 1856, there is no direct evidence that he constucted anything on Lot 15 of Block 6 unless he needed a house to live in. His other real estate holdings were located in the downtown district and his co❑struclion plans for brick commercial buildings on those lots were carried out by 1865.

"Wooden store buildings were likely free-standing along a dirt road or convenient trading intersection, s31 This singular storefront replicated the pattern common to shops of the day as "side walls were left windowless" and "chimney stacks projected above the roofline.i32 Local materials were used for structural components, and balloon framing was hammered together with hammer and nail. As was probably the case with this building when it was new, "Wooden buildings were covered by wood -shingled gable roofs and siding was sawn planks or later milled clapboard. False fronts with a raised parapet that hid the gable peak were common, "73 Nash describes another important attribute of this style of commercial architecture, noting that beyond needing the light from front windows, "Storekeepers relied on glass display windows to exhibit their goods and wares and attract customers." She explains, "window displays were necessary to catch the eye of sidewalk pedestrians and the occupants of vehicles on the street."34 The building at 518 E. Bowery shares these attributes. Reconstructing the history of the building depends on forensic examination of materials and traces of original workmanship; but research reveals the building definitely existed on the same footprint in 1868, as shown on a bird's-eye view of Iowa City drawn by A. Ruger.i5 Although an artist's rendering, many aspects of this layout are remarkably accurate, and owners of individual buildings portrayed in the sketch can often be matched with 29 Nash, Jan Olive. 2002. "Iowa's Main Street Commercial Architecture," Page E-1, 30Ibid, Page E-27. Nash, in describing store buildings similar to the 518 E. Bowery properly, wrote that long and narrow lots were couvnon when new railroad town plats were laid out, so stores were deeper than they were wide. Bennett also based her assessment of proto-typical architectural styles and historical context on the many images of lowa's built envimanient in the period of the Civil War and immediately following when Iowa photographers took to the field to create stereograph portraits of main streets and commercial storefronts, Similar buildings f om this period of settlement can be seen in three-dimensional form in: Mary Bemiettand Paul C.

Bowery Street, directly across from E. C. Lyon's large estate37 and at the exact midpoint between S. Johnson and S. Van Buren Streets. The majority of the houses along Johnson and Van Buren are pictured facing either east or west. Only two buildings face Bowery in the middle of the block, where the alley forms the eastern boundary of Lot 15 -- no doubt the frame house at 516 E. Bowery and the storefront at 518 E. Bowery. It is even apparent that one building is very close to the other and may jut out slightly towards the street. More than likely, the same person built both the house and the store, tucked in next to streets and alleys leading to a busy railroad terminal,sa Although the precise date of construction is unknown, it is possible the false front, which now disguises the gable fi-ont, originated after the building was acquired by William Havard. Beginning in 1897, records show he was the first to rent the building at 518 East Bowery for use as a grocery and meat market. In 1990, Molly Naumann conducted a survey of the surrounding neighborhood, and took note of the property at 518 E. Bowery. She wrote, "This small gable roofed building does not possess individual significance architecturally, but represents a minority property type in the survey area: a commercial building. Located on the east/west street closest to the railroad depot, it may have commanded a shine of its business from travelers." She continued, "However, neighborhood groceries were a common feature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and most of the customers would have come from the immediate vicinity." Her final conclusion regarding the building was that "While not individually eligible, this building is of interest as a property type.s39 Further research has unveiled the significance and age of the building.

" Abstract of Title, 1845-2005, It seem logical that the owners of such a strategically placed lot as Lot 15 might nun to profit from regular customers working and living near the depot, newly arriving immigrants such as hundreds of Mormons heading west, and possibly some Civil War soldiers who passed through town or trained six blocks away at Camp Pope. According to a 1991 Irving B.

United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 8 Page 14 The limitations imposed by Naumann's reconnaissance survey of a large segment of Iowa City's south side meant she could not delve too deeply into the historical record for individual buildings, even those that might be potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Though all Iowa Site Inventory Form was completed, Naumanm's initial assessment of the building did not include a review of previous owners of the property, or the details found in the abstract of title. Based on visual and basic documentation, she used her experience as an architectural historian to surmise the building at 518 E, Bowery was constructed around 1890.41 Subsequent research, especially the presence of the building on the 1868 bird's-eye view of Iowa City, seems to prove the building was constructed earlier, The Neighborhood Around Bowery Street The story that emerges from examining this property reflects the lives of working-class people who resided in a neighborhood on the outskirts of a developing downtown commercial district. As the economy of Iowa City transformed over the course of one hundred and fifty years, it is important to take note of the different stages of growth and how individuals and families earned livelihoods, The independently run grocery stores that persisted at this location were a far cry from supermarkets or "big box" retail groceries of the later 20th century. In fact, this building represents an even smaller scale operation, more reminiscent of mid-19th century retail establishments in Iowa's small towns than the larger two-story mom-and-pop grocery stores scattered throughout residential neighborhoods in greater numbers later on (Figure 9). The historical significance of this building rests in the old style appearance of the exterior of this familiar neighborhood fixture. Known as a grocery store by several generations of Iowa City citizens, the persistence of this building in the midst of extreme modification of the streetscape through apartment construction is simply amazing. Those who pass by this physical reminder of a different era often pay attention to the unusual architecture and wonder how this intriguing place could have survived when so much else has been lost. The grocery stands as a testament to the style of commercial architecture prevalent in other areas of the slate, especially in smaller towns and villages, but virtually obliterated from Iowa City's cityscape. This rather quaint example of how retail trade was conducted differs greatly from the two-story brick buildings lining the train streets and town squares of Iowa towns, including Iowa City's downtown area. Located in the midst of a neighborhood away from the center of commerce, the store is situated near the outskirts of the former Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad depot yard and a few 19th century factory buildings. Of particular note are two nearby National Register of Historic Places properties. The C. D. Close Residence was built in 1874 and remains on the National Register of Historic Places, but the Close Flaxseed (Linseed) Oil Factory, built in 1873, has been removed from the NRHP because of remodeling.41 "' Ibid., Pages 25-33 and unnumbered page after page 69, with Iowa Site Inventory Fomi for 518 E. Bowery. 91 Ibid., Page 1. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 8 Pago 15 As Naumann writes, "The residences along Van Buren and Johnson may well have been housing for workers in the Gilbert Street manufacturing area," The grocery store at 518 E. Bowery would have surely attracted foot traffic from those going or coming to work or school. Naumann continues, "Development along Gilbert, Van Buren, Johnson, and the west part of Bowery, seems to have been reasonably steady during the years the passenger depot was in use."42 The Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific depot was surrounded by a U.S. Express Office, livestock yard, light industry, lumberyard, and other trades that attracted regular customers. The total munber, and placement of houses, in Ruger's 1868 drawing of Iowa City and continual development over the next decades created a neighborhood around Bowery Street that was densely settled and capable of supporting a local grocery. Even after the depot was moved several blocks farther west in 1898, the local population was able to sustain the grocery store at 518 E. Bowery for 75 more years (Figure 5). Grocery Store Proprietors at 518 P. Bowery Street Telling the story of this building means drawing on the personal biographies of the individuals associated with each grocery store operated at this location between the years 1897 and1975, l'listorical trends, such as mass marketing of consumer goods or development of brand name products, altered the way Americans shopped over the course of a century. Today's retail trade for groceries is greatly diversified, from natural food cooperatives to huge international corporations like Wal-Mart or Iowa's own employee -owned Hy-Vee. By studying those who operated a small business and devoted their lives and careers to meeting the daily needs of their neighbors, a sense of place and historical context begins to emerge, Because of its small scale, this particular storefront served as a start-up operation for those who wanted to venture into a trade without much investment, whether they owned the building or not. Even if they were renters, storekeepers operating out of this location could open business without much capital outlay, buying as Ibid., Page 12; Thelma Oelung, Photographs of residences in this neighborhood prior to demolition for apartment buildings, c. 1960-1965, Special Collections, Stale Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa City, Not surprisingly, Naumann discovered that only a few of the earliest residences constructed in "The Railroad Era (1856-1898)," lasted long enough to be photographed before they were tom down. A study done earlier than Oelwrg's photographic survey in the 1960s might have found buildings more compatible to 516 and 518 E, Bowery, in terms of design, age, and construction materials. Since the oldest houses in the neighborhood deteriorated first, usually after years of use as low-cost student housing, few remained for Naumann to consider in her study, In fact, the lack of integrity in the neighborhood meant the area bounded by her reconnaissance survey was determined to be ineligible as a historic district in Iowa City. Naumann did spot more substantial homes on or near Bowery like the McConnell -Bristol House, 606 S. Johnson (c. 1860), or the Swisher -Price House, 917 E. Bowery (c. 1870), which persisted through the ages. She also noted a few smaller mid-19" century homes, which appear in pockets along the streets around the store. On page 45, Naumann reported the 1899 Sanborn map showed that S. Johnson "lots between Court and Bowery [were] almost full" of houses, and that the "houses along Johnson appear larger than those on Van Buren." Documenting the encroachment of apartment complexes from the early 1960s onward, she discovered that by the time of her 1990 study "of the thirty-onc houses that lined Johnson between Court and Bowery in 1933, eighteen have been demolished." She found a similar pattern on S. Van Buren, remarking on page 40, that "'The 1868 Bird's Eye View shows houses on both sides of the street from Ralston Creek south to Bowery (400 and 500 Blocks)," and the 1899 Sanborn map showed the same configuration of wood frame houses. In 1990, she found "Of the twenty-two house shown in the 400 and 500 blocks on the I P33 Sanborn map, only seven remain," United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson Countv. Iowa Section number 8 Page 16 store goods on credit from wholesalers. Records show the building provided an opportunity for immigrant families coming into the Iowa City area, including Irish-born and Italian-bom citizens, to earn a living. Grocery stores evolved over time with changes in transportation, food storage, or eating habits but in the 19ta century, there were many specialty shops as well as grocery stores. Various owners used the property at 518 East Bowery, presumably as a storefront, between t868 and 1895 when grocer Will Cisne purchased the building. Cisne ran a grocery store around the comer, at 532 Johnson Street,43 In December 1895, William L. Havard of Town City purchased the properties at 516 and 518 Bowery Street from Will Cisne,44 Given some of the material evidence uncovered by Marlin Ingalls, showing plaster and nails from the later part of the 191h century, it is conceivable Havard added the false fagade to the gable in the front of the building. Also at this time, brick paving was introduced in Iowa City, which meant "paving extended from the downtown east along College to Summit and then south to Bowery.s45 This facilitated local transportation and fostered residential construction on streets not far from the store on E. Bowery Street. The significance of the grocery store on Bowery Street as a prototype for a family -run business can be traced for eight consecutive decades beginning with William Havard's purchase in 1895 and continuing until the last grocery operated out of the building in 1975. Regardless of the proprietor or the owner, the function and use of the building persisted over time. With the commencement of Havard's ownership and for the next 23 years, Havard rented the grocery store at 518 E. Bowery to other proprietors like Mrs. Catherine Hawley, John A. Mahan and his sister Theressa B. Mahan, and Joshua O. Emmons and Minnie Emmons; until taking over the store himself in 1918.46 There is no question that 518 E. Bowery became identified as a grocery starting in 1897, when Mrs. Catherine Hawley, who was born in Ireland around 1844, is listed in the 1897 city directory as the proprietor of a "Groceries and Meat Market" at 518 E. Bowery, although Mrs. Catherine Hawley may have opened up shop a 'a Abstract of Title, 1845-2005, Documentation of certain years of occupancy, mainly from 1 870 to 1895, is unavailable or incomplete Ownership of the property can be cstablislied with the absh'act of title but a lack of city directories o biographical information means the uses of the building carmot be deternuncd in that cra, even if Uic physical characteristics suggest the building was best suited for use as a storefront. as Ibid " lowo City Historic Preservalion Plan: 11istw is Resources oflowa City. t992, Page Q-11, Svcndsen writes, "Perennial complaints accompanied Iowa City's wet seasons when dirt and macadannzed streets became rivers of mud.

Also useful were city directories, census records, obituaries, probate records, tax lists, and cemetery records as listed in the bibliography, which provided much of the background information on occupants of the building. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Bowery Street Grocery Store Johnson County, Iowa Section number 8 Page 17 few years earlier, as she was in Iowa City by 1891. Catherine Hawley was age 53 in 1897, and raising two stepchildren ages 14 and 15 years old, so running a grocery store probably helped earn extra income while giving her a chance to watch over the youngsters she was in charge of.47 The 1899 Sanborn fire insurance map of this part of Iowa City al so verifies the presence of a grocery at this location, providing the first site map of the property. 8 By 1899, another woman with an h-ish background, Theressa Mahan, had taken over the grocery store, Miss T. B. Mahan, a 45-year-old schoolteacher49 lived with her brother John M. Mahan at a boarding house at 520 E. Bowery. She and John ran the grocery and continued to live across the alley for almost ten years, until 1908.50 The paving of Bowery from Gilbert to Summit was done in 1908; not only making travel on the street easier, but probably helping to keep the dust down and mud from entering the store on the feet of customers.51 Joshua 0. Emmons and his wife, Minnie, took over the facility after the Mahans left, renting it from William Havard and selling groceries until 1914. The Eninions also rented the house next door to the west, at 516 E. Bowery, for a couple of years. Emmons had experience working as a grocery clerk and running grocery stores on College, South Clinton, and elsewhere on East Bowery according to city directories. Running a retail business was particularly suited to a husband and wife who could trade off duties and work shifts to accommodate their family or other moneymaking endeavors. This historical building, with a false front, is emblematic of family -run retail businesses designed to garner a modest income for hard-working entrepreneurs. As scholars like Mary Allison Farley have found, these business environments were often suitable places for women to find work in the public sector, when few occupations beyond schoolteacher were "Stale Census of7owa, 1895, Johnson County, Iowa 5" Ward; Smith's Directory of Iowa Cilyfor 1897-1898.

Conveniently, a woman — whether married, widowed, or single— could be a store proprietor, and even have her children on the premises so she could watch over them or enlist their services.12 Women like Catherine O'Connell Hawley and Theressa Mahan were proprietors who gained experience ordering supplies, keeping accounts, waiting on customers, or creating a special featured item to sell in the store. Typical retail establishments were successful because of the involvement of family members, whether nun by husband and wife, adult siblings, or hired managers. With division of gender roles in the period of significance, women were the primary shoppers in the family and probably felt welcome in the environment of a grocery store, more so than in male -dominated establishments like livery stables or lumberyards. A degree of cleanliness and orderliness attracted customers looking for fresh and reliable food, and having a female clerk: with compatible sensibilities and familiarity with cooking ingredients might increase sales (Figures 6 and 8), A few of the grocers who inhabited this space used it as a stepping -stone to storefronts elsewhere in town. After John Mahan died in 1908, his sister Theressa gave up the grocerystore they ran together at 518 E, Bowery, but she soon set up a business in the lower level of the Windrem house on the northeast corner of Iowa Avenue and Johnson Street. As local historian Irving B. Weber wrote, Theressa (also ]mown as Tressa or Miss T.B. Mahan) sold groceries and penny candy, catering especially to the school children attending the nearby grammar school and high s011001s3 By 1918, William L. Havard's grocery store at 518 E. Bowery is listed in the city directory under "Grocer and Meats," suggesting he had butchering skills. He resided at the same address, along with "Lawrence C. Havard, manager," and Lawrence's wife, Mabel C. Havard. Earlier city directories list William L. Havard as a "stock - buyer" in 1907, and his occupation is given as "Livestock" in 1911, both possibly references to Havard's skills as a butcher and the presence of a livestock yard in the vicinity of the nearby railroad depot. Later, Havard's home was just down the street from the store, at 510 E. Bowery. In 1919, Jess O. Orris and his wife, Mabel, who also resided at 518 E.

Among those who managed or rented the store was Ezell & Co., Grocers, whose advertising slogan in 1922 proclaimed customers would find "A Thrifty Store for Thrifty People" offering "Service, Quality, Cleanliness." Listing a telephone number, the ad promised, "You'll get what you want and when you want it." Arthur D. Ezell and his wife, Helen M., were the proprietors.55 Owners Jacob Goldberg and his wife, Sarah, ran the store on Bowery Street from May 1922 until 1928 when they leased the store to another Iowa City grocer, Jerome L. Schilling, for a couple of years. The language used on advertisements suggests that storekeepers took pride in providing high -quality service to meet the customer's needs and demands. An ad in the 1930 city directory for Scllillig's Bowery Street Grocery stated "Everybody Mnows Who Carries the Best,"16 The Goldbergs called the store Bowery Street Grocery while operating it between the years 1930 and 1939. By 1933, Iowa City had 46 groceries, including owners who ran more than one grocery like Jacob Goldberg, manager and owner of both 518 E. Bowery and a location laiown as Melrose Market on Melrose Avenue, in a much larger space within a new modern brick building near the University of Iowa's Minnick Stadium, The Goldbergs almost lost the property at 518 E. Bowery through foreclosure in 1936, and sold it to Anthony Rinnella, the son of a local fruit vendor in October 1938.57 City directories indicate the building may have been vacant for a brief time in 1942 and 1943, but Rinella still operated a store on Bowery. According to a newspaper article, "lit 1950 he bought three lots in the 400 block of Bowerty Street where he raised vegetables across the street from a grocery store he owned, and which he operated for a time."58 Rinella eventually decided to sell the property at 518 E. Bowery to Louis P. Helmer and his wife, Leatha, in July 1955.59 The Helmer family, headed by Louis P. Helmer, also owned grocery stores elsewhere in town. Helmer's Grocery existed at 518 F.

Helmer, remembered that a neon sign hung in the front display window, and that the store was robbed in 1961,61 Owner Robert Helmer shared his recollections of the store, confirming upon visual inspection that many of the building's physical characteristics remain essentially the same as when his family occupied the space. The long row of grocery shelves along the west wall dates back to at least the mid-1950s, and may indeed be an original fixture of the store, He commented that a similar row of shelving also lined the east wall of the store,62 His memories helped establish that relatively few changes have been made to the basic layout since the early days, and the history of the building is enriched through stories that provide a human dimension. After the Helmer family retired from the business in 1970, the Bowery General Store was operated for two years by Luther Dammeman of West Liberty, Iowa, who rented the storefront,63 This tenancy signaled the end of privately -run and family -owned grocery stores at this location, although commerce would return for a short time under the auspices of New Pioneer Food Cooperative, Inc. The building was suitably designed to function as a small grocery story all those years whether the owner operated the business or rented it out to others. Historical Context of the Retail Grocery Trade in Iowa and Iowa City Over the course of a century, the commercial aspects of providing food to a community evolved into very diverse types of enterprises. Looking backward to the period when the corner grocery prevailed, a portrait of how families shopped, and what they shopped for, can reveal historical patterns and trends. Preserving this building allows a visual record and community memory to live on, so that minor aspects of everyday rite can be considered, For example, imagining what might be sold in a grocery, like the ones at 518 F. Bowery Street over the years, brings to mind sources like historical photographs, newspaper advertisements, or the grocery receipts sometimes found in manuscript collections, Store patrons shopped primarily for staples such as sugar, flour, coffee, tea, rolled oats, beans, rice, canned goods, biscuits, potatoes, and onions, They could also find spices, pickles or olives, baking soda, preservatives, candy, bottled beverages, soaps, and often meat products and baked goods if a butcher and baker worked there. Depending on the season, grocers might procure locally grown vegetables and eu Iowa City Direelory, 1969. Kansas City, MO: R.L. Polk & Co. Michelle L. Wiegand. Notes front conversation with Robert L.

Many food items are perishable, making routine shopping a necessity, More exotic fruits like bananas or oranges had to be shipped in from faraway places, made possible by railroad transportation. The availability of calmed goods on the shelves of grocery stores was quite common by the time this grocery store was established. In the early decades of the grocery store on Bowery Sheet, customers shopped frequently, perhaps daily, as home refrigeration was limited to an icebox, which required the use of large blocks of ice that had to be delivered to the home on a regular basis, The butcher at the grocery would provide fresh cuts of meat or fish, and meal grinders were often present at the back of the store — as they were at 518 E. Bowery Street as remembered by one owner. Milk and dairy products were sold by milkmen making door-to-door deliveries using a horse-drawn wagon or, later, motorized trucks. Blectric-powered refrigeration and other technological factors revolutionized the grocery trade, altering food processing, storage, packaging, and delivery, as well as changing the habits of food consumption by the general public. Urban areas had merchants besides grocers who were selling food --- meat markets, bakeries, and confectionaries — and often with a wider array of items. Selling groceries as a specialty developed out of the earlier era of general stores, which commonly stocked everything a household might need, from hardware to dry goods to groceries. Local neighborhood grocers provided a variety of products, but not in great volume and with fewer choices than their urban counterparts. Residential neighborhoods spread out from downtown commercial areas, and as people came to depend on streetcars and automobiles to transport themselves around larger communities, grocers found new markets. Eventually, the advancement of the automobile age and mass marketing would irrevocably alter the American scene and lead to the proliferation of brand names, grocery store chains, larger supermarkets, and ultimately the "big box" retail grocery stores of the late 201h century. The extended heyday of the grocery store on Bowery Street began around 1895 and lasted until the mid-1970s, well past the period when similar stores declined in number before disappearing altogether,64 Running counter to this national trend was the persistence of the little morn -and -pop grocery at 518 E, Bowery. For almost eight decades, a grocery store survived at this location — during America's Great Depression when money was tight, and throughout the 1950s and 1960s when this type and style of store was all but disappearing from Iowa towns. In the 1970s a new generation re -invented the concept of the grocery store and mass consumption of food. Claiming ownership of product quality and seeking alternatives to capitalism, a group of Iowa City folks turned the clock back on modern concepts of supermarket shopping and "conveniently" " Atherton.

It was fitting the founders of New Pioneer Food Cooperative chose 5I S E. Bowery for their first home, establishing their store in a neighborhood setting and seeking success by starting out on a small scale. The building offered the perfect environment for the retail grocery cooperative to flourish during its first four years, before the operation moved down the street to another historic building that offered more space. For a time, they wore allied with a wholesale natural foods distributor named Blooming Prairie, who used the back portion of New Pioneer Food Cooperative's "Warehe Use" or shed for their operation. 65 Started in July 1971 as a buying club, New Pioneer Food Cooperative, Inc. is known as one of the most successful, long-lasting cooperatives in the United States. Founded over forty years ago, it has become an has contributed to the commercial and intellectual livelihood of Iowa City in myriad ways. From humble beginnings on Bowery to current times when major expansions are planned, New Pioneer Food Cooperative has demonstrated the value of protecting and enhancing our food supply and distribution system, supported community non -profits, educated people about environmental and health issues, and offered the benefits of member ownership and participatory democracy," Still, for the general population, historical trends and patterns in consumer spending steadily transformed grocery shopping. Research into population figures for Iowa City demonstrates the constant growth of the community, and the commensurate need for more grocery stores,67 A relatively small town until the World War 11 period, customers supported local stores close to their homes, usually within walking distance. Larger supermarkets, like the employee -owned Hy-Vee grocery stores, came to town around 1961. At the same time Randalls, Eagles, and A&P operated groceries. The major trend to alter the way Americans shopped was the proliferation of convenience stores, which expanded the range of products sold at gas stations. Retail chains like Seven -Eleven, QuickTrip, Handimart, and Casey's redefined the cultural landscape and led to the demise of small neighborhood groceries. vs Michelle L, Wiegand, Notes from conversation with Barbara Bailey, Iowa City, Iowa, May 11, 2012, New Pioneer Cooperative and Blooming Piairie reportedly experienced problems with insect infestation when storing flour and foodstuffs in the shed.

Quite often, both published and unpublished personal reminiscences will include stories about corner groceries, providing another avenue for exploring this topic. An examination of the history of one particular commercial building where various owners operated a grocery store provides evidence of the turnover rate in ownership or management, and the importance of geographical location for maintaining a stable cnStnmer base. Grocers have always been a mainstay of society, but needed to adapt to changing economic, technological, political, and social circumstances to maintain any longevity in the retail market. In counting the total number of grocery stores listed in city directories over this period, it becomes apparent that small-scale operations prevailed until the early 1960s, when the numbers began to steadily decline. By no means a definitive summary of the retail grocery trade in Iowa City, the story that emerges from these figures does provide a microcosm of one community's experience with this line of business.

Bowery housed a retail establishment, House of Jade, but remained essentially unchanged in appearance. Richard Hugill Jr. and his wife, Barbara Bailey, formerly a manager at New Pioneer Coop, acquired the property in 1981.70 For a brief interim in 1983, the Ilelen Caldicott Community School held classes for children ages six to nine years old, engaging the students in interactive, hands-on learning.71 Hugill occupied the property from 1981 to 1988, From that point forward in time, the building was used as a residence, Remarkably, despite the modifications made in the last twenty years of its existence, the building retains the main characteristics from its time of significance, with many authentic elements from the original construction date still in place. As a prime example of false front commercial architecture on a modest scale, the Bowery Street Grocery Store reflects the historical context of the times. It helps preserve the story of hard-working individuals who represent different parts of the economic and social spectrum. Although often not wealthy enough to own real estate or a storefront, these merchants and grocery clerks prevailed — even if only for a few years earning a livelihood to support themselves and their families. Uses of the building evolved after traditional neighborhood grocers vacated the space and a community cooperative established a grocery, forming the last chapter of the store's history as a center for commerce. Later inhabitants of the space, even for a few years, seem to share the independent, entrepreneurial spirit of their predecessors. Although outside the period of significance, in terms of historical context for small grocery stores, part of the history of the building reflects the lives of individuals associated with 518 E. Bowery from the mid- 1970s through 2012. Drawn to the charm of this quaint, antique -looking storefront, a variety of people pursued alternatives in food merchandising, built handcrafted items, explored new teaching methods, expressed themselves through artistic creation, or simply called the place home.72 10 Abstract of Title, 1845-2005; Michelle L.

Bowery, even if the building does not seem architecturally significant or lacks association with a particular individual of significance, A community comprised of several generations representing men and women of diverse ethnic groups, different economic classes, and distinct backgrounds — converged on this location seeking sustenance and human interaction with people who had common interests. Standing in front of this building or inside it, admiring the open space, can remain a pleasurable experience for years to come if rehabilitation and investment protect the historic fabric and original style of the store. Zoned as a single-family dwelling for twenty-five years, the property was designated a local landmark in 2012 so the building can return to retail use a coffee shop or a similar business, which might attract a walk-in trade from the surrounding neighborhood residents.The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission, Plaeming and Zoning Commission, Board of Adjustment, city planning department, and city council were involved in determining the future of this historic building and how to best preserve the historic integrity and meet current code standards. Restoring the original character to the exterior as well as the interior would revitalizing the neighborhood and create a sense of place rooted in history, which both serves and defines the neighborhood around 518 E. Bowery Street. The scale of this building juxtaposed against the massive apartment complexes and dehumanizing homogeneity of the architecture brings a sense of wonder about the past and conveys meaning about the fives of those who lived in this community.

Pictured in 1938, Hunter's Grocery, was situated at the busy intersection of Muscatine Avenue and Court Street in Iowa City. It featured gasoline pumps and a parking area so cars could pull up and park in front of the store. As had been the tradition, owners and operators often occupied living quarters on the second floor, although 20"' century grocery stores were often more spacious. This brick store on Muscatine Avenue was later covered in stucco, [mown as the popular family -run Seaton's Grocery, the store persisted until the mid-1990s, in part because of the high quality meats butchered in-house. Notice the wooden shed used for storage and a little porch area with trellises along the side of the building. The property at 518 B.

S MINUTES PRELIMINARY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 11, 2013 EMMA HARVAT HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Kent Ackerson, Esther Baker, Thomas Baldridge, Kate Corcoran, Frank Durham, David McMahon, Pam Michaud, Ginalie Swaim MEMBERS ABSENT: Andrew Litton, Dana Thomann, Frank Wagner STAFF PRESENT: Chery Peterson, Bob Miklo OTHERS PRESENT: Thomas McInerney, Brad Pouleson, John Shaw, Mike Wright RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (become effective only after separate Council action) None. CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Swaim called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS: 339 East Prentiss Street. Peterson said the Commission held a meeting a month ago regarding this property's designation as a landmark. She said this property also goes by the 529 South Gilbert address. Peterson said she included some of the images from the previous presentation to show the historic look of the building. She showed images from 1966 and images showing how the building looks today. Peterson showed views of all sides of the building. She said the plan is to demolish everything behind the little, one-story former garage and add the new stair and elevator tower on the north side of the building. Peterson said there would be masonry restoration on all sides of the original building and complete renovation of the three stories that will become apartments. She said the lowest level where the bar and restaurant are currently located would remain the same establishment and would be renovated. Peterson said that on the south side there is proposed landscaping that would create terraces for an outdoor dining area. She said the entry door would stay in the same place, although, because it is not handicapped accessible, the threshold would be lowered. Peterson said she believes there is also a change with the door head. She said the style proposed is for a similar type of door, and the awning is to remain. Peterson stated that on the east/Gilbert Street side, the existing front door will stay as it is and will open into one of the apartments. She showed the front fapade, which would be retained, of IIISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 2 of 12 the garage and said the infill of the door and window would be changed out to a modern storefront, because that is the entrance into the new stair tower for the apartments. Peterson showed a view on the other side of the front door on the east side of the building. Peterson said the original windows will be restored and the masonry repair will be minimal or as required. She showed a view of windows at the lowest/restaurant level. Peterson said the packet contains images of the new construction, which would be very modern looking. She added that the Secretary of the Interior Standards would require that the addition be of its own time. Peterson said the siding material of the addition is listed as a composite panel system with painted cement board. She said other new materials in the project would be concrete paving on the south side terraces, and the retaining walls would be an exposed aggregate with a cast concrete cap. Peterson said staff is recommending approval of this subject to several conditions. She said the guidelines recommend removal of the vines as part of masonry restoration. Peterson said staff would typically expect to see product information on any new windows, including storm windows. and the new doors. Shaw, the architect for this project, said the composite panels are really a cement board system. He said it is just painted cement board with metal tracks in between. Shaw said he used something similar on the renovation of the Free Medical Clinic behind the CVS Pharmacy. He said the cement board is similar in character to brick masonry in that it is a cement product with that rough surface and would be an appropriate material to use. Shaw said, regarding the door that is being lowered, the head would remain in the same place, and there would be a standard -sized door. He said there are two steps that are non -code compliant, because they are directly inside the door inside the bar. Shaw stated that they will lower the entry on the outside by fourteen inches so that someone can use a wheelchair to get into the building. He said they will use a standard height door with a transom window up above it. Shaw said that the current door is not an historic door but is a fiberglass door. Shaw said that what is notable about the building itself from the exterior is the fact that it is virtually unchanged, if one looks at the old photographs. He stated that they will not be changing any of that. Shaw said they will leave the fire escape on the south side, although they will not rely on its use. Shaw said they are following the Secretary of the Interior Standards, and when they provide accessibility to the upper levels of the historic building with the new stair/elevator tower, that accessibility helps an historic building stay in service and makes it more viable. Michaud asked where the cement work is going. Shaw responded that it is going on the outside of the addition on the north — the tower. He said it will be painted. Michaud stated that on the east side of the building, facing Gilbert Street, the vines are obscuring some pipes. Shaw said the vines would be removed to tuck point the building. He said it would be the owner's preference to let those vines grow back, simply because of the name of his business and the fact that they are symbolic of the building. Shaw said it might be noted that in the Amana Colonies, it is a requirement to let vines grow on the masonry buildings. He said the Amana Colonies comprise an historic landmark, and vines HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 3 of 12 are encouraged there. Shaw asked the Commission to make an exception to allow the vines to grow back, simply because of what the building has always been known as and because it is a well-known landmark in Iowa City, partly because of the foliage on the side of the building. Michaud asked if, when the inside is gutted, the contractor will be re -piping and rewiring so that the outside pipes will no longer be there. Shaw replied that the pipes Michaud is referring to are all abandoned anyway and will be removed. He said they will be installing a completely new electrical system. Shaw said this building was a factory, so there was never much inside. He said the things that will be removed are 100% non -historic materials. Shaw said this building was partitioned in 1985 or 1986 to accommodate small artists' studios. He said it is all wood and plastic and gypsum board walls and hollow core doors. Corcoran asked about the windows. Shaw said the windows will be taken down, cleaned, and repaired, and the original glass will be retained where possible. He added that when glass does have to be replaced, it will be kept as low as possible on that north wall where it is really not visible. Shaw said they are not putting in new windows except on the old garage front. He said they will retain that front wall with the brick and tile coping as it is, and then put an aluminum storefront system here, because that will be the entry into the stair tower. Swaim asked about the small windows higher up on the stair tower. Shaw said these are very purposely not in the same proportion or style. Swaim said she is relieved to hear that the vines are to be removed for the masonry repair. She said it is fairly well recognized that vines can do quite a lot of damage. Swaim said the Amana Colonies may be a different situation in that the trellises were there for decades and decades, as opposed to these vines that may only date to the 1980s. She said the Commission is trying to look at this building historically to say, 1905, with the vines not being there. Swaim said it is in service to the building to remove the vines. Shaw said they would repair any damage that has been done to the mortar over the years. Durham asked about the garage addition and if the existing fagade would be moved back. Shaw answered that it would stay in place. He said the cross-section in the drawings shows the wall and shows it staying in a line with the front wall. Durham said it looked different in another drawing. Shaw stated that actually that is not in the wrong location; that section is cut to the north, through the wall that the Old Capitol Brewery has. He said it is intended to be as the cross- section shows. McMahon asked about the vines and the owner wanting them to grow back. Peterson replied that it is in the guidelines that one would not want that, because it damages the masonry. She said one thought was to have an arbor over the new terrace that could have the vines. Peterson said there are other ways to have vines besides up the side of the building. She said that restoring the masonry is the first concern, and then determining how detrimental the vines have been should be considered. Michaud said the plan looks very nice. She asked where the patio would be and if it would be in conjunction with the bar. Shaw responded that it will be right up along the space between the HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 4 of 12 building and the sidewalk on the south side and will be terraced. He said the property owner is actually building the walls beyond the property line, but there is a code provision that allows this. Michaud said that if the fire escape is going to stay and is non-functional, perhaps the vines could be trained around that. Shaw said he had thought of that and would have to look into it. He said if there is a fire escape there, he thinks he has to maintain access to it, because he would be giving someone false hope of egress if he somehow closed it off. MOTION: Michaud moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 339 East Prentiss Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: confirm removal of vines; provide product information for new storm/screen windows and any replacement windows; provide product information for the new door on the south side at the restaurant entrance; and provide above information for review and approval by Chair and staff. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Litton, Thomann, and Wagner absent). 829 Kirkwood Avenue. Peterson distributed photographs in the file showing more clearly the conditions before and after. She said this is another landmark property. Peterson said that several years ago the Commission approved the replacement of the entire foundation under this house — an all -new basement. She said that what was approved was not built, but the new owners plan to make this right. Peterson said the new owners are starting with the critical issues of the brick and the stone foundation. Peterson showed the front, north side of the house, which faces Kirkwood. She showed the new, concrete block foundation and the new windows, which are set in new window wells, on the west side. Peterson said the Commission had approved a proposal of taking the old stone that had been removed from the foundation, slicing it, and reapplying it, but that is not going to happen. Peterson said the new proposal is to have Anamosa stone that will be applied to the face of the new concrete block. She said the proposal discusses this being a regular coursing but a rough cut, which will be historically appropriate. Peterson showed the south side of the building and said part of the previous project created a walkout basement. She said this view shows how contrary to the original layout the new window placement is. Peterson said one can see the arches where the old windows were and how the new windows don't match that at all. She said that in addition to the stone facing for the concrete block, most of the arches will be removed, and there will just be a straight course of brick. Peterson showed the east side of the building. She said there are new basement windows on every elevation except on the north side. Peterson said that this proposal would replace those also. She added that the foundation needs to be covered with new stone on all four sides. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 5 of 12 Peterson showed a close up on the west side toward the south end of the house. She said there needs to be a lot of brick repair and replacement here. In the work sequence, the brick repair will follow after the stone work on the foundation. Peterson showed the front on the north side, where the owners need to install windows, which is part of this proposal. She said staff recommends that they can actually salvage the arches and make the windows fit the width of the arched openings. Peterson showed a stone mockup done by the previous owner for the west side. She said the idea was to put back the original stone. Peterson said it is really unacceptable, because it is too random of a pattern; the joints are not created correctly; the joints are too wide, and the profile is wrong. She said that would be replaced. Peterson showed a photograph of the Mansion on Gilbert Street, which is the same style of building, and said the foundation there is a better example. Peterson showed a photograph looking into one of the new window wells. She said the proposal is to use the limestone to cap the top of the window wells so that it fits in with the new stone of the foundation. Peterson said staff recommends approval of this application. She said that because it is such a critical thing to get this stone correct, the owners have agreed to do a mockup, to show that this will work. Peterson said one of the conditions of the recommendation is to have the mockup approved. She said staff also recommends that the window wells get a stone cap, confirm that the entire masonry repair follows the Secretary of the Interior Standards, and that staff and chair receive product information on the two new basement windows that need to go in on the north side. Pouleson, one of the owners of the property, said the mason had told him the original stone was probably quarry from quite near or maybe even in Iowa City, and that is no longer available. He said the next best thing was Anamosa stone. Pouleson said the photograph of the Mansion is not quite what the original foundation of this house looked like from the pictures he has seen. Peterson agreed that the Kirkwood house foundation is a little rougher. Pouleson said the Mansion foundation was a little more symmetrically cut. He said his foundation was rough cut rock with even coursing, so that is what they are trying to match. Pouleson showed a photograph of the original foundation, before the house was lifted, so they know what it should look like. Regarding the window wells, Pouleson said they will cap the U-shaped wall with the same stone. He said there is a gap between the foundation wall and the U-shaped wall, adjacent to the sides of the windows. Pouleson said they plan to run stone down there as well, on either side of the window and probably across the bottom too to cover all the block of the foundation wall. Pouleson said he looked at the front two windows. He said they can preserve those arches, as there is just the one brick missing. Pouleson said those arches correspond to the windows above. He added that the windows they will be putting in the basement are the same width as the windows up above, so they will line up perfectly. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 6 of 12 Pouleson said the concrete block that was put in between is not in the right location and is also too wide. He said they will have to take that out and re -lay some blocks centered at the appropriate width to allow the windows to be put in. Pouleson said that his mason has a plan for doing that. Pouleson said they are pretty much the only two arches they will be able to preserve, because they do line up with the windows they will be putting in. He said that for most of the other ones, for whatever reason, the previous owner did not take any care to do that. Pouleson said that they will just be running a straight course on the rest of the house. Regarding the windows he will be putting in, Pouleson said he sent the information to staff. Peterson said the owners are proposing Jeld-Wen, and that will match everything else that is in the house now. Pouleson said that the windows that they will be putting in are made by a subsidiary on the West Coast that Jeld-Wen bought that makes historically approved windows. He said the sills and all of that match what one would see in a traditional house. Pouleson said they are Jeld-Wen windows but they are from a different line than the ones that are in the house now. Swaim asked if the house sustained any damage to the foundation during the time it was vacant. Pouleson said there was surprisingly little damage. He said there were a few cracks here and there in some of the plaster, but the damage is very minor. He said there is also some interior damage at an interior brick wall that used to be an exterior wall. Corcoran asked how thick is the proposed stone veneer. Pouleson responded that it is going to line up with the ledge that was left, which is about three and one-half inches. Michaud asked Pouleson if he will be able to match the brick that is there. Pouleson said he actually has quite a bit of the original brick and will be putting that all back, as well as using brick from a chimney that was taken out from an interior wall that was originally an exterior wall. He said he believes it was taken out in order to raise the house. Pouleson said that if they cannot do it all with the original brick, it will be very close. Baldridge said that the owners are to be congratulated for saving this house. He said this is a very significant neighborhood in Iowa City. Michaud said that she likes the irregularity in the original stone foundation. She said there were some wide or high stones and narrow stones that made it look more like it was field -constructed. Michaud said the Mansion is very formal, but this house predates the Mansion. Pouleson said he did not know the age but said this is definitely a different style. He stated that on the Mansion, each block is the same dimension, at least height -wise. MOTION: McMahon moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 829 Kirkwood Avenue, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: provide mock-up of stone veneer at foundation; confirm proposed use of stone veneer at window wells; confirm appropriate repair methods for historic masonry; confirm the size of the two new basement windows and their placement relative to the existing brick arches; and provide above information for review and approval by Chair and Staff. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Litton, Thomann, and Wapner absent). HISTORIC PRF.SF.RVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 7 of 12 30 North Clinton Street. Peterson said this is another Iowa City landmark. She said the proposal is to replace, repair, and do work on four different doors on the building. Peterson referred to a picture from before the addition on the south and before the front entrance had been changed. She showed the front pair of doors to be replaced and referred to a drawing in the packet that shows the proposed replacement doors. Peterson showed the addition to the south and the door that would be replaced. She also showed the north side of the building at the steeple tower, where existing wooden doors will be repaired. She also showed the north side of the building where there is a newer door, and said this door and side windows will stay the same, but the applicant wants to add a handicapped operator. The handicapped operator should not change anything that will be seen from the exterior. Peterson showed a close up view of the doors on the north side that go into the steeple tower. She said the design of the new doors on the front is very similar, with the tall panels over the lower, shorter panels. Peterson said they are proposing for the front, instead of solid panels, that it would be all glass. She said that is not typical of an historic door. Peterson said one could put glass in the upper panels but not the lower, so that is staff's recommendation. Peterson said the door on the west side of the south addition will get changed out with a new, hollow metal door with an upper window. She said the south addition is from the 1950s or 1960s. Peterson said the existing door is in the style of that era. Peterson showed the doors that would become the panel doors with glass. Swaim asked if they would be like the gray doors with the tall panels. Peterson confirmed this and said they would be wood doors. She said the architect has told her that it will be a true stile and rail construction. Peterson said the packet includes drawings of what is being proposed. She said the plans show glass in every panel, which she does not think is appropriate. Peterson said staff recommends approval of this application with the condition that the front door will be wood stile and rail construction and that chair and staff will review the profile details at the panels. She said the proposal was not very clear about what the new door on the south addition would be, so staff will need that confirmed as well. Also, the applicant needs to confirm that the newer door on the north side would not change from what is seen now. Michaud asked if the applicant's proposal is to have four glass panels in each door. Peterson confirmed this. She said that historically there would be glass in the upper panels but not the lower panels. Referring to the west elevation, Swaim asked if the existing stained glass transom would remain. Peterson answered that the plan does not include any changes to the stained glass. Swaim said that on the original, the doors were proportionally much taller relative to the stained glass. Peterson said there would not have been as much stained glass originally. She said the old photo shows a nicer proportion, but the applicant is not changing the stained glass now. HISTORIC PRF,SERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 8 of 12 Baldridge said it is obvious the inside of the church has been modified, because as one goes into the church now, it is flat in the vestibule. Peterson pointed out the work that was done last year involving the wood restoration and the roofing that came for review before the Commission. MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 30 North Clinton Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: confirm stile and rail construction of new doors at main entry, also confirm profile at panels; confirm final design of new service door; confirm location of exterior actuator for auto operator at north door; provide above information for review and approval by Chair and Staff. Ackerson seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Litton, Thomann, and Wagner absent). 513 South Summit Street Peterson said this project has been before the Commission a couple of times already this year. She said that this proposal is for the replacement of the small window on the back side. Peterson showed the drawing of the proposed window, which is a change from the original packet. She said the change would make this match all of the other windows with regard to the trim. Peterson showed a photograph of the trim boards and their relationship to the window trim. She said this new design should match that. Peterson said that when this was first presented there was not to be a window change. it was just the addition of a transom. She said that now there would be a new window. McInerney, the architect for this project, said the header for the window would match. Peterson said staff would suggest a condition of providing product information on the new window. McInerney said the detail around the top of the window would be identical to how the band will be interrupted by the window. He said that is the way it is matching the head. McInerney said the project is coming along really well. MOTION: Baker moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 513 South Summit Street, as presented in the application, with the condition that product information for the window be reviewed and approved by staff and the chair. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Litton, Thomann, and Wagner absent. REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY CHAIR AND STAFF: Peterson stated that in the future she would try to include pictures of some of these items. She said that Swaim signed off on the certificates of no material effect. Peterson said there were no intermediate applications. She stated that the two minor applications include a Brown Street property where a non -historic house was having windows replaced and a house on Bella Vista for which the Commission previously reviewed an application that incurred a lengthy time lag between the application coming before the Commission and the owner coming back with the proposal. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 9 of 12 REVIEW AND APPROVE PLANS FOR CITY PARK CABINS Peterson said the City is applying for a grant to repair the City Park cabins. Miklo said the City is applying for an HRDP grant. He said that staff is sending a proposal to the City Council in May and would like the Commission's endorsement of that proposal. Miklo said the Commission discussed this several weeks ago, and it was the Commission's consensus to apply for grants to help restore these buildings. MOTION: Corcoran moved that the Commission endorse the City's application for grants to repair the cabins in City Park. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Litton, Thomann, and Wagner absent). DISCUSS HISTORIC PRESERVATION WORK PLAN FOR 2013 Miklo said the North Side Neighborhood Association submitted a written proposal requesting that the Commission consider a conservation district for parts of the North Side. Miklo said another project discussed by the Commission was a possible historic district in the Manville Heights area. He said the Commission and staff are also in the process of working on a local historic district for the Melrose National Register Historic District. Miklo said that has basically been put on hold while the neighborhood does some of its organizing but staff anticipates that it will come back in the summer. Wright, the North Side Neighborhood Association representative, said that the proposal submitted is a draft at this point. He said the project was accelerated a little bit so that the boundaries are going to be subject to change. Wright said he could answer any questions. Swaim said it would be great if the neighborhood association could submit some photographs of some of the houses and streetscapes. Wright said he could arrange this and said the North Side Neighborhood Association is prepared to do whatever ground work needs to be done. Swaim said that is critical, because the Commission does not have a full-time staff person or consultant. Wright said the area has been surveyed. He said that is a huge accomplishment that will not have to be dealt with at this time. Durham asked about the printout and the curlicues in the property on Bloomington Street. Wright said that there are houses there in the 600 block that were not intended to be in the district. He said those properties along the north side of the street were meant to be edited out. Miklo said if the Commission does decide to go forward with studying a North Side conservation district, the boundaries should be looked at very closely. He said that one of the issues with a conservation district is that the State Historical Society, when it approved the City ordinance, wanted to make sure that if there was an area that was actually eligible for an historic district, it would not be cut short by going with a conservation district instead. HISTORIC PRESLRVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 10 of 12 Miklo said therefore that each property and what the survey says will have to be looked at carefully. He said the Commission might even want to expand the district a little to the north, including the Ronalds Street district area. Miklo said staff is looking for some indication as to whether the Commission wants to include this in its work plan, and then the boundaries can be redefined as the area is studied. Swaim said the areas to be looked at therefore include Melrose, which is in process, this North Side project, and Manville Heights, although the Manville Heights neighborhood has not come before the Commission to propose anything. She asked if there are any other projects or initiatives the Commission would like to take on. Michaud asked if there is any way the 500 block of East College could be conserved. She said the area is between Van Buren and Johnson Streets. Michaud said that with the 20-story building proposed for a half block away from there, this area is severely at risk. She said the Bradley Building is very likely to go down next week. Michaud talked about the salvageable material in the building. Regarding the area on College Street mentioned by Michaud, Miklo stated that when the College Hill Conservation District was looked at, that block just to the north that is on Washington Street was removed from the district. He said the Commission had considered it and then took it out because of property owner objection. Miklo said that there was an attempt by the City to downzone the area on College Street in 2005. He said that because of property owner objection, the City Council chose not to do that. Miklo said, regarding whether it should be revisited this soon, he would suspect that the owners of the property would still object. He said it was the Mental Health Center that owned it at the time, and the Mental Health Center said it wanted the possibility of selling those properties for development purposes. Miklo said he believes it would be an uphill battle in terms of creating a conservation district there. He said that because there are at least three properties in the area that have been remodeled or had buildings built, he does not think it would quality as an historic district. Miklo said he suspects that the fact that the College Street Historic District ends where it does is because that issue was looked at and it was decided that the buildings to the west did not really qualify, and also it was zoned commercial. Michaud asked if the whole block is zoned CB2. Miklo confirmed this. Michaud said she thinks the only salvation for it is to keep Gilbert Street CBS. She said that if it goes to CB10, there is nothing to keep this from continuous development. Michaud said the proposal for the 20-story building is really a threat to her neighborhood. She said there are a lot of 30-year occupants around College Green Park. Durham asked for specifics about the Goose Town District. Miklo stated that about 15 years ago there was a proposal for a Goose Town Conservation District. He said that it ran into quite a bit of opposition. Miklo said the Commission decided at that time not to pursue it, unless the neighborhood was supportive. He said the area of the North Side has kind of an overlap into Goose Town, so that might cover part of it. Miklo said in this case it was owner -occupants who opposed the district, rather than absentee owners, which tends to make the Commission less likely to move forward. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 11 of 12 Miklo said one other factor to consider is the level of threat to the historic resources in the area. He said that the farther one gets from downtown, the less threat there is. Miklo said that should have some bearing on whether the Commission works on Manville Heights, the North Side, or Goose Town. He added that at this point he feels it would be better to work on only one additional district. Swaim asked if Manville Heights has a neighborhood association. Miklo said it does, but he does not think it meets often, nor does it cover the entire neighborhood. MOTION: Baker moved to have the Commission's work plan for the coming year focus on the Melrose Historic District and a potential Near North Side Conservation District. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Litton, Thomann, and Waaner absent). CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES FOR MARCH 14 2013 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING: Swaim said that the last sentence of the first paragraph on page seven should read, "...has also been accomplished." MOTION: Ackerson moved to approve the minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission's March 14, 2013 meeting, as amended. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Litton, Thomann, and Waaner absent).
