V. RESOLUTION
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission would like to acknowledge the
efforts and time of M.H. Bowers, Historian of the Iowa State Historical Society,
for his contribution in gathering of background data which made this nomination
Possible. The Commission would also like to thank all of the residents who
signed petitions, responded to questionnaires and attended meetings which made
this district nomination possible.
The data gathered for this report were compiled for the Iowa State Historical
Society. These data can also be found on the National Register of Historic
Places Inventory - Nomination Form which is on file at the Iowa State Historic
Preservation Office.

INTRODUCTION
The proposed Woodlawn Avenue Historic District is an enclave of 14
residential structures situated on the eastern end of Iowa Avenue, at the
Y-shaped junction of Iowa, Evans and Muscatine Avenue. Woodlawn Avenue is
a dead-end extension of Iowa Avenue. Woodlawn Avenue was planned as a main
street in the 1830's, with the old (Third Territorial, First State) capitol
at the western terminus and the Governor's mansion (never built) at the
eastern end. Twelve of the properties in this proposed district are
located on Woodlawn Avenue. There are two other houses located on Evans
Street, a short block connecting the eastern end of Iowa Avenue to
Jefferson Street. Of the 14 buildings, nine of the buildings are houses of
late 19th Century vintage, two are 1920 Tudor (one of which is a three-
story apartment building), one is a 1920 bungalow and two are modern ranch -
Sty ie.
The Woodlawn Avenue district presents feelings both of seclusion and
cohesion. Houses are situated on relatively spacious lots with an
abundance of trees and shrubbery and are well set back from the unpaved
oval of Woodlawn Avenue. Although they vary in form from a rectangular
cross -gable to the square hipped, these buildings are all similar in
presenting prominent front gable bays to the street. The 19th Century
houses are all two or two and a half story frame construction.
Stylistically, they range between the Italianate and Queen Anne, and with
one notable exception (1036 Woodlawn) they are restrained and not highly
ornamental, although protruding polygonal bays (one or two stories) are a
popular feature. The two modern ranch -style structures (one of which is a
duplex) are located at the extreme eastern end of the district, and thus
are not particularly intrusive. Their tendency to blend well is reinforced
by their deep setback and shaded lots and by the proximity of the low -scale
bungalow to the south.
The two buildings located on Evans Street are included in this district for
different reasons. The building located at 20 Evans Street, the apartment
block, is within the northern boundary of the district, which is formed by
Ralston Creek, and directly abuts 1010 Woodlawn. Much like the other
properties in the district, this building is on a secluded lot; although
larger and taller than the other buildings, it does not give the impression
of inappropriate scale. The house located at 19 Evans Street is included
because it was originally an integral part of the immediate Woodlawn area,
having been originally constructed at 1010 Woodlawn and later moved to its
present location. This house is one of the more significant buildings in
the district.
II. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Cohesion, seclusion and continuity of form are the principal
characteristics which make the proposed Woodlawn district significant in
the architectural and natural landscape of Iowa City. This essentially
late 19th Century enclave of upper middle-class residential structures is
distinguished by its large lots, deep setbacks, and the presentation and by
prominent front gables, each with its own particular decorative details, to
the narrow, unpaved oval of Woodlawn Avenue. With one picturesque
exception, houses of the Woodlawn district present a feeling of solid
comfort and prosperity that is expressed in a restrained manner. The
continuity of materials, scale features and age are also elements of
significance in this proposed district. Most of the houses were built
between 1880 and 1900, and are of frame construction between two and two
and a half stories high. Many of the homes retain original porches,
decorative eaves and window hoods and protruding polygonal bays popular at
the time. Continuity of setting and the natural environment play an
impurLanL rule in the character of this districL and allows the buldings
and forms of later ages to blend remarkably well despite their different
architectural styles.
Architecturally, the house at 1036 Woodlawn is an architypical
manifestation of the American Queen Anne home and is the most prominent and
i stylish of the district resources. The buildings located at 1011 Woodlawn
and 19 Evans Street are also worth particular mention. These homes are
strikingly similar examples of the rectangular cross -gable form, once near
images of one another. Before the house at 19 Evans was moved from its
original location at 1010 Woodlawn (directly opposite 1011), and located at
i the entrance to the district, it must have presented a singular visual
experience from Iowa Avenue. Despite its relocation, the house at 19 Evans
is on the exterior very well preserved, having suffered few if any of the
additions and alterations experienced to•a greater or lesser degree by most
of Woodlawn houses. Two other houses --1010 Woodlawn and 1049 Woodlawn--are
of interest because they, like the Queen Anne at 1036 are fairly clear
expressions of particular formal architectural styles in contrast to the
essentially vernacular character of the district as a whole.
According to the 1839 plat of Iowa City, the Woodlawn area was then about
one block west of the original town, just beyond the block called Governor
Square. Iowa City was planned as the Third Territorial capitol of Iowa,
with Iowa Avenue (the old capitol building at the west, and the Governor's
mansion at the east end) as main street. Removal of the capitol to Des
Moines in 1857 negated this original plan. The Governor's mansion was
never built and the city proceeded to develop in a principally north -south
direction. By 1868, the city had built as far east as Muscatine Avenue,
but the Woodlawn area adjacent was not platted until the 1880's and it
first appears in the plat of 1889 as S.M. Clark -Subdivision.
III. NOTABLE STRUCTURES
1011 Woodlawn. The structure located at 1011 Woodlawn is a two-story,
cross -gable house of frame construction built in 1888. This building
presents a three -bay front gable to the street with a one-story porch,
supported on slender posts and brackets, wrapped around the north and west
sides of the house with steps at the northwest corner. On the east, toward
the front is a more recent two-story screened porch. The windows are
segmentally arched on the first floor, round arched on the second, all with
flat enframements with keystones topped with curved or straight cornices.
The full height gabled projection on the west side features a first -floor
polygonal bay window, above which is a pair of round -arched windows beneath
a single curved hood. The main cornice has partial returns and paired
brackets. At the rear is a one-story kitchen wing with a smaller addition
beyond,
* C4
1025 Woodlawn. This two-story frame house, built in 1891, has a hipped
roof with full -height gable projections (which are identical) on the north
and west. The house features bargeboard, small semicircular windows with
leaded glass above paired second -story windows gable and face with
scalloped shingling on the attic story. The windows are rectilinear with
plain, flat enframement. A form of imbricated shingling is found between
the first and second -story windows on the east side. The main feature of
this house is the porch which wraps around the north and west sides and
displays a small triangular pediment above the entrance and a Chinese
lattice frieze. The whole structure is supported on slender turned posts
with diminutive brackets. The various decorative elements of this house
are suggestive of Stick Style and Eastlake detail.
1033 Woodlawn. Unlike other houses in the district, this two-story cross -
gabled frame house presents a side rather than a front gable to the street.
Entrances are located on the east and west sides. A one-story porch with
plain wood column extends across the west side to meet the intersecting
full -height gable at the rear. On the east side is a two-story protruding
polygonal bay and a second -story sunporch (probably added later) over the
east entrance. The main cornice is wide with partial returns and panel
frieze. North and west side windows are set in paneled surrounds topped
with narrow cornices broken by semi -circular pediments.
1041 Woodlawn. The original appearance of this house has largely been
obscured due to the loss of all porches, rearrangement of fenestration
(particularly on the north side) and the sheeting of the exterior walls
with cedar shingles. The house, built in.1891, is of frame construction,
is two stories and the main gable roof intersected toward the rear by full
height gable projections on the east and west. The narrow cornice has
partial returns. There is a first -floor protruding polygonal bay on the
west side. On the east and west, windows retain their original surrounds
which are plain with slightly pointed tops.
1047 Woodlawn. Built in 1888, this frame cross -gable house presents a
somewhat gothic effect due to the steep pitch of the roof and the pairs of
small, second -story windows with flat -sided pointed heads on the north and
west sides. The north and west gable ends are decorated with lacy barge
boards. On the north of the house there is a first -floor protruding
polygonal bay with bracketed corners and iron cresting on the roof. It is
probable that a similar bay was originally located on the west side. The
porch, located within the angle formed by the north and east wings is of
later date; it is supported on short, square posts.. Located to the rear of
the structure is a two-story hip roof section, with small porch on the west
side. The porch features spindled balustrade and frieze, and slender,
turned posts. The second floor of this rear portion, and a one-story
kitchen block were added around 1915.
1049 Woodlawn. This World War I vintage bungalow is a one-story building
with very shallow gable roofs intersecting at right angles to form a deep
porch at the northeast corner. Raw, deep and wide windows grouped in bands
within simple surrounds emphasize the low horizontal character of the
house. The projecting rafters and purlins of the gable ends are shingled.
The porch has short square posts and high brick pedestals.
1050 Woodlawn. The City's Assessor's records date this house at 1950. The
low one-story ranch -type dwelling is sheathed with permastone and vertical
siding.
96
1042-1044 Woodlawn. This structure is believed to have been built in the
late 1880's. The house has been extensively altered and it is difficult to
determine its original appearance. The house is two stories of frame
construction with the main gabled roof ridge running parallel to the front
and the side and a shallow front gable (flush with the main wall) to the
left of the center entrance. The entrance is flanked by wide plate -glass
windows, one of which (perhaps original) has a leaded -glass transom panel.
Aluminum shutters and a picture window in the front gable are recent
additions to this building. A shed -roofed porch extends across the front,
supported on plain wooden posts. This house has been converted into a
duplex.
1046-1048 Woodlawn. This building is a one-story duplex constructed in
1964 with a low gable roof and vertical siding.
1036 Woodlawn. This home represents the most high -style and elaborate
house in the district and was constructed in 1895. The building is roughly
square in plan with a high hip roof rising to a peak. The front gable is
flush with the main (south) facade; there are side gable bays on the east
and west which are faceted on the first floor. The house is distinguished
by a profusion of porches and balconies, detailed with spindle railing and
friezes and turned or spool posts. The main porch (first floor) wraps
around the south and west sides of the house. Above the porch, on the
southwest corner, is a semicircular porch topped with a high pitched
conical roof. There is a small porch set into the roof of the second -story
porch. Decorative detail is concentrated on the front gable end and
includes quadrant sunburst flanking the attic windows, multiple barge
boards and a full sunburst at the top. Other features include the belly
windows in the turret which light the attic and form a frieze below a
denticular cornice and a small dormer, centered in front of the main roof,
topped with a high-pitched hip roof.
The builder and first owner of the house was George Kenyon. The second
owner of the home, Harry Bremer, was reported to have housed pet lions in
the carriage house. Mr. Bremer also had the ceiling of the dining room
sprayed with diamond dust.
The carriage house, located northwest of the main house, is two stories
high and topped with a gable roof with shed extensions. A large wall
dormer is centered in the front (south) of a hay door flanked by windows.
There are two wide carriage doors on the structure.
9a
1024 Woodlawn. This house, built in 1885, was essentially a farmhouse with
a two-story front gable intersected on the rear (west) by another full -
height gable. The west gable has a first -floor polygonal bay. The main
facade is two bays wide with an entrance to the right of center. The
windows have plain surroundings with simple cornices and there is a small
oculous window in the attic story. On the east side is a three -bay, one and
a half story wing added in the 1930's. The front porch, which has a flat,
balustraded roof with small brackets on the cornice, which was cut down in
size at that time and elements from it were used on a new wing.
1010 Woodlawn. This Tudor style house was built in 1926 and stands on the
site where the house presently located at 19 Evans Street was originally
located. The house now on the lot has stuccoed exterior walls above a high
basement, the exterior walls of which are covered with rock face shown of
irregular shape and size. The predominant feature of the house is the
immensely high-pitched gable roof with a ridge parallel to the front and
sides. The same pitch is found on the dormers, a one-story sunroom on the
west side and the entrance pavillion. The doorway itself is reset in a
round -arched opening formed by rock -faced stone voussoirs.
19 Evans Street. This well-preserved house was built in 1883. The house
has a center front gable, intersected at the rear by full -height gable
projections on the north and south, forming a T-shaped plan. Behind this
is a large two-story gabled mass with a roof ridge at right angles to the
front and slightly higher than the front portion of the house, creating a
small dormer at the intersection of four ridges. The side gable
projections are identical with the first -floor polygonal bays. Windows on
both sides have segmental arches on the first floor and round arches on the
right, all set in simple keystone surroundings the topped with straight or
slightly curved cornices. A large plate -glass window is left of the main
entrance. A one-story porch wraps around the south and east sides and is
supported on Tuscan columns and edged with a spindled balustrade. The
eaves of the house are wide with partially returned cornices and paired
brackets.
10
20 Evans Street. The structure located at 20 Evans Street is a four-story
apartment block built in 1926. It is rectangular in form with main facades
on the north and south and has center entrances on both of these sides. The
outer walls are covered with red brick. On the east and west ends the
fourth floor is topped with a gabled roof which intersects the main roof at
right angles. These gabled ends are decorated with pseudo half-timber work
giving the building a vaguely Tudor air.

IV. Prominent Architectural Styles
ITALIANATE c. 1845-1885
The coronation of Queen Victoria on June 28, 1838, marked the beginning of the
Victorian era, which lasted more than 60 years. The term Victorian is applied
to a number of architectural styles that were popular during the years of
Victoria's reign.
i
The first of these styles to become popular in Iowa City was the Italianate. It
was imported from the east, where wealthy persons were building homes in the
j 1830's and 1840's. The new styles became popular in the west via pattern books,
which allowed local carpenters and builders to copy the fancy buildings from
back east. The Italianate house with a tower or cupola is generally not common
in Iowa City. Instead, Italianate features appear on the basic rectangular
house of the Greek Revival period.
��,. .r . ......r:�ua.r�e..fiaaY.11...t.:.:uyju�_a�•�_,s.
12
GOTHIC c. 1845-1910
At about the same time that Italianate style buildings were replacing Greek
I Revival in popularity the Gothic style was also being introduced. "The
Architecture of Country Houses" by Andrew Jackson Downing, printed in 1850,
helped popularize both the Italianate and the Gothic.
i
iThe Gothic style is easy to identify but hard to date. The reason being is that
it remained in use for such a long time, from the Gothic Revival in the 1840's,
1850's and 1860's through the Carpenter Gothic of the late 90's. The Gothic
style has sharply pointed roof lines, multiple gables and fancy scroll woodwork.
With the invention of the mechanical jigsaw, gingerboard decorations were made
possible on a grand scale. Patterns were mass produced, and trim was applied to
otherwise plain houses. It is often the case that this trim has been removed in
later years.

QUEEN ANNE c. 1875-1900
The name Queen Anne is a misleading one for this style. This style is not an
adaptation of the architecture of Queen Anne's time, but instead an American
version of a style popular in England in the latter part of the 19th century.
The Queen Anne style is characterized by complexity and irregularity of form.
There is always a variety of surface texture, roof and wall projections. The
tower or turret is the most prominent feature on some Iowa City Queen Anne
houses. Pattern books and blueprints by mail were the source for most of the
Iowa City Queen Anne houses.

IOWA CITY VICTORIAN c. 1885-1905
Iowa City Victorian is a term coined to cover the large number of late 19th
century houses in Iowa City which owe a great deal to both Queen Anne and
Georgian Revival styles, but are really too simple in form to fit either style.
Most often there is a prominant front gable on these houses, and the gable often
has fish scale shingles on the gable peak. There are porches, sometimes Queen
Anne sometimes Goergian Revival in detail. It is possible that some houses in
their original form would be classified as one of the above styles. Over the
years a great many structures have had all the trim removed, porches torn off,
siding applied and new windows added, so that all that is left to hint at the
style are the steep roofs and gables.

TURN -OF -THE -CENTURY COTTAGE c. 1890-1910
(here are many simple rectangular or L-shaped houses in Iowa City which do not
fit into any of the categories of Victorian architectural styles. These houses
are usually one story, although there are some two-story houses classified as
cottages.
These cottages bear a resemblance to the earlier Greek Revival style but the
pitch of the roof is steeper, the cornice is not as wide and the windows are
taller and narrower. In their original state they may have had trim classified
as Carpenter Gothic. As in the case of the Iowa City Victorian, the trim and
porches have often been removed leaving a very simple plain house. These houses
are often difficult to date accurately.

GEORGIAN REVIVAL c. 1890-1920
The Georgian Revival represents a turning away from the foreign influences of
the Italianate, the Gothic, and the Queen Anne styles. Americans were looking
to their own architectural past and were building houses based on colonial
styles. The turn of the century Georgian Revival still showed Victorian
influcence, but gradually the new style resembled the 1700's more and the 1800's
less. In Iowa City, the Georgian Revival house is usually not ornate in form.
There is often a Palladian -style window in a front dormer and doors sometimes
have fan lights. The dominant feature is the front porch with colums topped by
capitals in the Doric, Ionic or Corinthian orders.

ZN
INTRODUCTION
The portion of South Summit Street extending from East Burlington Street
south to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad overpass bisects the
largely residential area known to Iowa Citians as the South Summit Street
Area.
The west side of the street's 300 block formed part of the original
boundary of the Iowa City town site surveyed in 1839. By the early 1850's a
roadway lay along that block. The remainder of the present avenue was
layed out by the late 1860's and was already being developed as a pleasant,
well-to-do suburban residential area. The gentle ridge along which this
block ran gave the street its name. During 1880 this portion of South
Summit Street was incorporated into the city.
Fifty structures - (48 houses, one sorority house, and one store) now stand
along this street. Approximately 37 of these structures (or nearly three-
fourths) were built before 1910. Out of these 37 structures, five date
from the 1860's, five date from the 1870's, four date from the 1880's, 13
date from the 1890's, and ten date from the first decade of the present
century. There were three additional houses constructed before 1910 that
are no longer in existence having been replaced by more modern structures.
II. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The South Summit Street district, with its 50 buildings (three-fourths of
which date between 1886 and 1910) preserves remarkable unity despite the
extreme variety of architectural styles represented along the street. The
buildings that were constructed later in history successfully preserve the
gracious and dignified residential atmosphere achieved by their
predecessors. Summit Street is broad and the right-of-way and lots are
wooded in many 'cases with older trees. The houses are set back from the
street. In most cases the setback is approximately 60 feet. The ambiance
of the Summit Street area is park -like and strongly reminiscent of the
culture of well-to-do middle-class Mid -Western Americans of the later 19th
century. This district embodies the varied callings and positions of the
lives of its early residents. The district reflects the social mobility
and the accumulated wealth that were characteristic of that culture.
Because of the exceptional architectural distinction that some of the
houses retain and the still more exceptional grade to which this area has
been preserved with its character intact, the district is regarded as a
museum of one aspect of American life and history whose preservation is of
first-rate importance to the amenity and cultural heritage of Iowa.City.
As an additional item of interest, the front yard of 331 South Summit
Street contains a six foot limestone obelisk. This obelisk was erected in
1839 and marks the southeast corner of the original survey of Iowa City.
The 1839 Iowa City survey was laid out the same year the territorial
capitol of Iowa (Iowa City) was designated. During the 1890's this unique
landmark was severely defaced, but in 1935 a local Daughters of the
American Revolution Chapter restored the obelisk to its original condition
and reproduced its inscriptions on attached bronzed plates.
For a brief period during the Civil War, what was then characterized as a
beautiful green space bordering the south end of the street served as a
training ground for Union regiments recruited in Johnson County and the
surrounding area. Camp Pope as it was christened (presumably for General
John Pope), was established in July 1862 in time to provide a mustering
0
point for the 22nd Iowa Infantry. This military unit subsequently became
famous for being one of only three Civil War regiments from out of the
North or the South to suffer 82 percent casualties in a single engagement.
This regiment in 1863 lead the first great frontal assault on the
Confederate entrenchments at Vicksburg, Mississippi. Two other Civil War
units, the 28th and 40th Iowa Infantry Regiments, also mustered and trained
at Camp Pope before being sent south to the Civil War zone. The camp was
disestablished in December 1862.
III. NOTABLE STRUCTURES
There are a number of houses in the proposed Iowa City Summit Street
district that are of special interest:
1. The Kauffman House, 304 South Summit Street. The Kauffman House was
constructed by Levi Kauffman, a nurseryman, in 1868 and faces Summit
Street. An addition to this structure presently faces Summit Street.
This house is the earliest example in the district alluding to
architectural distinction and an excellent example of the taste of its
period. This house combines Classical, Gothic and Italianate
features in one building. This building is a two-story, high
ceilinged rectangular red brick (now painted yellow) building with a
low attic. The facade of this building is formal and symmetrical,
displaying five windows on the second story, five windows on the first
story, and two pairs of windows flanking the center door. The windows
flanking the center door contain heavy stone lintels. There is a bay
window on the right hand wall of the building. A gable hangs over the
central bay and contains a small gothic lancet. Ornate cornices of
this building have pair brackets with pendants. The original veranda
of this house has been removed.
V01
2. The Fairall House, 410-412 South Summit Street. The Fairall House is
the oldest house still standing in the district and was probably the
first dwelling to be built on Summit Street. This house was initially
the farmhouse of a farm that once lay to the east of Summit Street
which was built by Truman Fairall between 1861 and 1868 when Mr.
Fairall came to Iowa City. This house was initially listed in the
City Directory. It has been extensively remodeled and converted into
a duplex including alteration by the construction of a wide porch.
The structure, however, retains its original outlines which include:
a low ceilinged, two-story rectangular white painted brick building
with a low attic. The house lies parallel to the street. It has wide
eaves and small irregularly placed windows and low-pitched gables. It
is the only rustic house in the area and the only house of colonial-
preclassical and pre-Italianate design.
3. The Morrow House, 415 South Summit Street. The Morrow House is an
unusual and impressive home that was originally constructed in 1879 by
Henry Morrow. Mr. Morrow was a local representative of the American
Express Company. This house represents the last phase of the
classical taste for symmetry, but its style is a formalized adaptation
of the Umbrian •Villa tradition. A central pavilion terminates in an
open pediment with returns supported by scrolled corbels. This house
has a double front door, flanked by double French doors that open onto
a wide veranda. The lateral walls include polygonal bay windows on
the south, and triangular windows on the north with bracketed
cornices.
The third floor is lighted via Palladian eyebrow windows with
latticed screens and a segmental arched window in the pediment. A
gable end located above the pediment was constructed as a later
addition. AO
4. The Swisher House, 419 South Summit Street. The Swisher House is an
exceptionally fine house that was built in either 1879 or 1880 by
Lovell Swisher who was a banker. This house remains practically
unaltered except for the addition of a veranda. This house is one of
the purest and most elegant examples in Iowa City of Mid -Western
Italianate Victorian design. Among its most notable features, this
house contains three gable ends, one facing Summit Street and one on
each lateral wall. These gables contain bracketed cornices and
fanciful arched wooden screens that are intrically pierced. Each
pediment contains an oeil de boeuf. The windows on the two lower
floors have lintels with false keystones. The proportions and
ornament of this structure produce an effect of solidity and grace.
5. The Stoddard House, 512 South Summit Street. The Stoddard House is
the second oldest extant house in the district. This house was built
before 1868 by Stephen Stoddard who was a millwright. The house was
moved back from the street and remodeled in 1924. The present roof
and porch date from that time. The original outlines of the house are
still clearly discernible, however, and the windows retain their
heavy classical lintels.
0
6. The Payne House, 513 South Summit Street. The Payne house is the most
opulent and interesting structure along Summit Street and also the
best preserved house in the district. This house was constructed in
1883 by Stephen E. Payne, manager of the Close Linseed Oil Works.
This house is frame and of complexed plan. It contains numerous
gables and elaborate Italianate decoration. The simulacra of Italian
loggias are particularly striking. The basic shape of the house is a
cruciform with three elongated facades along the east, north, and
south. Each of the facades contains a tripartite, two-story bay
window terminating in a steep gable with a pierced screen. A
subsidiary gable to the northeast angle of the cross forms a roof for
an elaborately balustraded balcony; a smaller but similar balcony is
set in the angle formed by the champered bay window on the ground
floor which is impressively pedimented. This structure contains a
porch of complexly angular pian and Lhe roof Lreatment occupies the
northeast corner of the cross on the ground floor. The roof and
veranda cornices have brackets and pendants. This is the only house
in the district that has preserved a cast iron grill forming a fence
with a gate along the line of the sidewalk.
M10
The Stone 603 South Summit Street. The Stoner House was
constructed inn 1898 by Marcus Stoner, a retired farmer. The house is
representative of several others located in the district. This house
is basically similar in design with those built in the 1890's and is
one of the best preserved of the group. These houses are cruciform or
L-shaped with the wings terminating in steep gables with pediments
decorated with wooden scroll work. These homes are clapboarded and
usually have fish scale shingles on the upper floors and corner
porches with brackets and turned columns. These homes have bay
windows on the side wings but not on the street front. Other well-
preserved homes of this type are number 405 and number 409 South
Summit Street.
8. The8vrnes House,• 609 South Summit Street. The Byrnes House is an
imposing building constructed in 1896 or 1897 by the widow of Dr.
Thomas B. Byrnes and represents the transformation from late
Victorian design to the Venetian or neo -Georgian tastes of the early
20th Century. The framed structure with cruciform wings ending in
gables and fish scale shingled pediments exemplifies the older style.
Classical columns end the verandas and the wide window foreshadow the
newer .era. This house is very. large and stately and has been
successfully and discreetly modernized and restored.
0
The Hertz House, 624 South Summit Street. The Hertz House was
constructed in 1893 by Albert J. Hertz, a dry -goods merchant. This
brick house is similar to several others in the neighborhood, notably
its contemporary neighbor to the south, number 710 South Summit
Street. The house plan is symmetrically cruciform with steep gables
on the porch in the southwest angle of the cross. The ornament and
fenestration are characteristic of the style that was developing in
the '90's. This style included large windows and greater restraint in
decoration than earlier homes. This house also contains a very large
single plate glass window on the first floor of the street front under
a low segmental arch. The porch has a lattice screen and wooden
scrolling in its pedement.
10. Eclectic Style
There is another group of homes in the district of less historic
interest, yet they nonetheless retain architectural interest in
illustrating stages in the developing eclectic styles and tastes of
the early 20th Century. The house located at 620 South Summit Street
which was constructed in 1923 or 1924 is a good example of the
modified New England saltbox design popular in the 1920's. The house
located at 733 South Summit Street, built in 1923, is an excellent
example of the gambrel roofed Dutch Colonial idiom. The house located
at 621 South Summit Street is a very drastic reconstruction of a house
that was originally built in the 1860's and now presents the aspect of
a portocoed brick neo -Georgian house of Virginian inspiration.
Remodeling of this house dates from around 1931.

IV. Prominent Architectural Styles
ITALIANATE c. 1845-1885
The coronation of Queen Victoria on June 28, 1838, marked the beginning of the
Victorian era, which lasted more than 60 years. The term Victorian is applied
i
to a number of architectural styles that were popular during the years of
Victoria's reign.
i
The first of these styles to become popular in Iowa City was the Italianate. It
was imported from the east, where wealthy persons were building homes in the
1830's and 1840's. The new styles became popular in the west via pattern books,
which allowed local carpenters and builders to copy the fancy buildings from
back east. The Italianate house with a tower or cupola is generally not common
in Iowa City. Instead, Italianate features appear on the basic rectangular
house of the Greek Revival period.

GOTHIC c. 1845-1910
At about the same time that Italianate style buildings were replacing Greek
Revival in popularity the Gothic style was also being introduced. "The
Architecture of Country Houses" by Andrew Jackson Downing, printed in 1850,
helped popularize both the Italianate and the Gothic.
The Gothic style is easy to identify but hard to date. The reason being is that
it remained in use for such a long time, from the Gothic Revival in the 1840's,
1850's and 1860's through the Carpenter Gothic of the late 90's. The Gothic
style has sharply pointed roof lines, multiple gables and fancy scroll woodwork.
With the invention of the mechanical jigsaw, gingerboard decorations were made
possible on a grand scale. Patterns were mass produced, and trim was applied to
otherwise plain houses. It is often the case that this trim has been removed in
later years.

QUEEN ANNE c. 1675-1900
The name Queen Anne is a misleading one for this style. This style is not an
adaptation of the architecture of Queen Anne's time, but instead an American
version of a style popular in England in the latter part of the 19th century.
The Queen Anne style is characterized by complexity and irregularity of form.
There is always a variety of surface texture, roof and wall projections. The
tower or turret is the most prominent feature on some Iowa City Queen Anne
.houses. Pattern books and blueprints by mail were the source for most of the
Iowa City Queen Anne houses.

IOWA CITY VICTORIAN C. 1885-1905
Iowa City Victorian is a term coined to cover the large number of late 19th
century houses in Iowa City which owe a great deal to both Queen Anne and
Georgian Revival styles, but are really too simple in form to fit either style.
Most often there is a prominent front gable on these houses, and the gable often
has fish scale shingles on the gable peak. There are porches, sometimes Queen
Anne sometimes Goergian Revival in detail. It is possible that some houses in
their original form would be classified as one of the above styles. Over the
years a great many structures have had all the trim removed, porches torn off,
siding applied and new windows added, so that all that is left to hint at the
style are the steep roofs and gables.

TURN -OF -THE -CENTURY COTTAGE c. 1890-1910
There are many simple rectangular or L-shaped houses in Iowa City which do not
itectural styles. Thes
fit into any of thealthoughfthereoarensomehtwo-story houses classifiedses
as
are usually one storyy,,
cottages.
! These cottages bear a resemblance to the earlier Greek Revival style but the
pitch of the roof is steeper, the cornice is not as wide and the windows are
taller and narrower. In their original state they may have had trim classified
as Carpenter Gothic. As in the case of the Iowa City Victorian, the trim and
porches have often been removed leaving a very simple plain house. These houses
are often difficult to date accurately.

GEORGIAN REVIVAL c. 1890-1920
The Georgian Revival represents a turning away from the foreign influences of
the Italianate, the Gothic, and the Queen Anne styles. Americans were looking
to their own architectural past and were building houses based on colonial
styles. The turn of the century Georgian Revival still showed Victorian
influcence, but gradually the new style resembled the 1700's more and the 1800's
less. In Iowa City, the Georgian Revival house is usually not ornate in form.
There is often a Palladian -style window in a front dormer and doors sometimes
have fan lights. The dominant feature is the front porch with colums topped by
capitals in the Doric, Ionic or Corinthian orders.

Statement of Jef.frev Denburg at public Hearing on granting of Industrial Revenue Bond
to James Clark.
I would like to speak against the granting of Industrial Revenue Bond's (TRB's)
to Jim Clark for the construction of the Gilbert Towers Apartments. There are two (2)
reasons for my interest in this case: (1) As a member of the Iowa City Fair tient
Coalition I am concerned with what I still consider to be the drastic rental housing
situation here; (2) As a taxpayer to the Federal government I'm concerned with why
I'm paying the_high taxes that I'm charged with.
As you are probably well aware by making the interest earned on IRS's non-taxable
the Federal government is losing significant amounts of income which indirectly is
made up from the taxes that we all pay. Therefore, we should all be concerned about
the use to which these IRB's are put and who is receiving them.
In this case you are being asked to grant $850,000 to n man who alreadv was
given 4 IRS's in 1982-83 worth $4.1 million. This man owns real estate with a total
assessed value of well over $8 million. I don't think that in establishing IRB's
it was the intended purpose of the Federal government to have us taxpayers subsidize
millionaires like Jim Clark.
In the 1982 Survey of Rental Housing in Iowa City written by The Planning
Commission there was a subtle warning to the City Council Pointing out the fact that
between 1975-1982 30% of all the new apartments built within 1 mile of downtown
Iowa City were built by one person. That one person is James Clark who has continued
to build new apartments at a comparable rate. There is a great dancer in allowing
one Person to control such a large share of the rental housing market. By decreasing
the competitive nature of thehousfng market you are enabling one Person to set the
standards in rent and qualitv to which other landlords will aspire. lets look at
what these standards are.
9�
r 2.
Rents -- survey taken of Ralston Creek Apartments for which Clark received $2 million
IRR. This survey covered 44/60 units randomly selected. Results are in this
handout which show that the average 3 bedroom apartment rented for $645; 2 bedroom
rented for $520 and 1 bedroom $256. These figures at least for 2 and 3 bedrooms
are way above the average value of an apartment of this size in Iowa City which are
$537 for 3 bedrooms; $42$ for 2 bedrooms, and 5305 for 1 bedroom as determined by
the Fair Rent Coalition this summer.
These results show you the kinds of figures we are dealing, with in the current
Rental Market. The apartments Clark is constructing in large numbers are definitely
in the higher priced bracket. As a point of information we calculated that Clark's
total yearly income from the Ralston Creek apartments is 5424,000 and this nronerty
represents less than 1/4 of all his holdings.
What can we say about the standards in aual.ity that Clark is setting. Needless
to say this is difficult to objectively assess. I could present anecdotal evidence
attesting to the shoddy construction on previous Clark projects funded with IRB's
but I won't. Perhaps we will hear direct testimony from current tenants later. 1
shouldmention that among groups concerned with preserbation of neighborhoods the
term "Clark Apartments" symbolizes everything that they are attempting to resist
in terms of new development. I should also remind the Council how in the construction
of the IRB funded Ralston Creek Apartments, Building Code restrictions were violated
by having the apartments extend too far into the street. Only after the buildings
were completed did they come to the Council asking to be exempted from the restrictions.
This was an awkward situation to put the Council in and certainly reflects on a
poor quality in the planning and design of the construction. One way of assuring
quality labor in construction is to hire union workers. As I will mention in more
detail later Clark construction often does not use union labor.
I have nothing personal neainst .Iim Clark. I have never met him and evervone
who I encountered, who does know him, snys he is a nice guy. I am sure that mm Clark
is doinn what every red-blooded American would do. Once volt make some monev volt
3.
use that money to make more. However, Jim Clark is making some of his monev with
Federal-taxpaver subsidized low interest loans. Upon accepting such loans it is
his responsibility to make sure that the local community benefits from his projects
and it is the Council's job to make sure that this occurs.
What has Iowa City gotten from giving Jim Clark these IRS's?
One can imagine that at least during the construction of the projects new
employment opportunities would be offered to local laborers. How do we determine
if local labor is being used on these projects? The best measure is to ask the
local labur unions. I have done this and officials of at least the carpenters,
cement finishers, roofers, plumbing unions are willing, to state that to the best of
their knowledge none of their members were hired on the Ralston Creek ,job. Some of
them have told me of seeing laborers from Illinois on the project. How does this
benefit the local employment situation? Are Federal taxpayer subsidized low interest
loans being used to break the labor unions?
The most obvious benefit to Iowa City from this project comes from the construction
of the badly needed new apartments. However, I am a bit surprised at the contradictory
behavior of the City Council with respect to this issue. A few months ago when the
Fair Rent Ordinance was before this council, we were told that one of the reasons
it was turned down is because there is no housing shortage in Iowa City. If there is
no housing shortage then why are you giving an IRB for the construction of new
apartments? I feel that there is indeed a need for the construction of new apartments I
but not of the high-priced type that Jim Clark is putting up. We are well aware
that Clark is required to set aside 20"/, of his apartments for See�ieef�9li housing of
,Mu�4�
low income people. However, in our survey of Ralson Creek Apartments we found that
this included only one Bedroom apartments that comprised 10`/., of the total number.
In summary, I have presented evidence as to why I think Jim Clark should not
receive this $850,000 IRB-- it is not good for the competitive nature of the housing
market and as it stands now does not directly benefit the local community. The

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 12, 1984
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance F
Re: Certification of Unpaid Water, Sewer and Refuse Charges
City ordinance authorizes the filing of liens against properties for unpaid
water, sewer or refuse charges. The City last filed liens for unpaid charges
in 1980. The lien process had been deferred since then pending resolution of
the concerns expressed by rental property owners about the City's lien
process.
In past years, the City held the rental property owners totally responsible
for any tenant's unpaid water, sewer or refuse bills. The rental property
owners objected to this on the basis that they could not be expected to have
any control over tenants moving out and leaving unpaid bills and therefore
should not be held responsible for those bills and required to pay them.
Last fall, the City and the rental property owners reached a mutual agreement
that the City would not file a lien against rental properties as long as the
property owner had cooperated with the City and made every effort to provide
a forwarding address for any tenant who had moved out and left unpaid water,
sewer or refuse bills. However, liens may be filed against rental properties
for any unpaid bills which are the responsibility of the property owner
(i.e., charge for usage while the account was in the property owner's name
between tenants or equipment maintenance).
Exhibit A lists the unpaid charges which need to be certified to the County
Auditor. The summary shows that the total amount of the unpaid charges is
$1,546.83. For the Council's information, a total of $3,600.28 of unpaid
bills from rental property tenants was not included in the listing for lien
certification. These accounts became past due prior to the agreement with
the rental property oviners to provide forwarding addresses. Collection
efforts will continue on these accounts as possible, however, the City does
not have forwarding addresses for the majority of the accounts and collection
is doubtful.
Proper notification has been provided for all unpaid charges being certified
as liens. In addition to the regular billings, property owners have.received
three additional letters informing them of the unpaid status. Once the
account was 30 days past due, a letter was sent notifying the property owner
that the account was delinquent. After 60 days of past due status, a letter
was sent notifying them of the City's intent to file a lien against the
property if the delinquent bill was not paid. On December 1.9, 1983, certi-
fied letters were sent to the property owners notifying them of the date on
which the City Council would consider the resolution to certify the unpaid
charges as liens and of the opportunity to be heard by the Council at that
time. The previous letters also offered the property owner the opportunity
for a hearing before the City Treasurer to discuss the unpaid bill status.

p r`
Previously, the City had agreed not to transfer any unpaid charges for rental
properties to the property owner's personal residence account. Therefore,
none of these unpaid charges could be transferred to another account to force
collection. Also, the City cannot shut off water at the account's address to
force collection because the account for that address is currently in someone
else's name (i.e. a new tenant). To shut off the water in this situation
would unfairly penalize the new tenant.
Nancy Heaton and I will be at the Council meeting on January 17, 1984, to
answer any questions or provide information to any property owners who appear
at the meeting.

To 'Whom it may Concern:
Regarding 601 Keokuk Ct.
1. Payment for City utilities was made in Ainelt, 1983 for previous bill
received at approximately 3 p.m. on the day a notice for disconnection
said should be made by 5 p.m. On arrival home, water had been disconnected
and a new bill received.
2. Later, a visit was make to the city water offices to request information
as to why continued water charges were being received when water services
had already been disconnected by the City.
3. Repeated attempts were made by city employees to disconnect water (already
disconnected) as they turned on outside water faucet and water flowed.
4. When water service originally connected, it was noticed by a city
employee that the home had well water connected to an.outside faucet.
5. No one has tampered with the city meter or in any way has city water
been used (as has been inferred by a city employee) since the disconnection.
of the water service by the City.

Re: Camp Cardinal Road Bridge Relocation Project - Parcel C
f
On Friday, January 13, 1984, the Rotary Club indicated that they did not
find the staff's proposed counter offer on Parcel C of the above project
acceptable (as described in the January 12, 1984 memo to Council) and
would prefer to go to condemnation. It is the Legal staff's best estimate
that this would take an additional 30 to 60 days. Because this is a
federal aid bridge replacement project, the bid letting process is handled
by the Iowa Department of Transportation and requires a greater lead time
than typical of City projects. As a result, the time required for
condemnation would cause a delay in the bid opening until April or May.
Traditionally, bid openings at that time result in a higher contract
amount.
Therefore, the City Engineering staff felt a bid opening no later than
March was important. Because Parcel C was the only parcel which had not
been settled, a compromise was proposed. The Engineering staff suggested
that the borrow site could be taken out of the offer to the Rotary Club
since that was the main stumbling block to settlement. This would require
that fill material be added back into the bid packet as an item which the
contractor must provide. Although this will result in a higher overall
project cost, the City of Iowa City will only have to bear 20% of that
increase since federal aid will pay for 80% of the overall cost of this
project. This proposed change has been approved by the Iowa Department of
Transportation.
City staff, therefore, propose the following counter offer to the Rotary
Club subject to Council approval:
Taking of 1.39 acres by fee simple title $2,100
Taking by temporary easement 50
TOTAL $2,150
The increase in the amount for the taking area is based on the $500 figure
for the approximately 0.48 acres of previously undedicated right-of-way
plus an additional $200 in response to the property owner's counter offer
requesting an additional amount for the taking area. Representatives of
the Rotary Club have indicated that this offer is acceptable and City
staff recommends that it be approved. A revised resolution will be
prepared for your consideration at Tuesday night's formal meeting.

MEMORANDUM
Date: January 12, 1984
To: City Council
From: Bruce A. Knight, Associate Planner"'_
Re: Camp Cardinal Road Bridge Relocation Project
On April 1, 1983, the City of Iowa City received approval of a federal aid
bridge replacement project for the replacement of the bridge on Camp Cardinal
Road over Clear Creek. As part of this project, it is necessary to acquire
certain real property for right-of-way purposes, temporary construction
easements and a borrow easement for the purpose of obtaining fill material.
In accordance with the right-of-way acquisition guidelines published by the
Iowa Department of Transportation, the parcels proposed for acquisition
(including the easements) were appraised by a competent, independent
appraiser, and the fair market values established as a result of those
appraisals reviewed by a second competent, independent appraiser for the
purpose of establishing just compensation. Purchase offers based on the
established just compensation were mailed to the property owners on October
21, 1983, initiating negotiations. A total of four property owners were
involved in this process and settlement has been reached with three of the
four as follows:
PARCEL A
Owner: City of Coralville
Description of Taking: A temporary construction easement over a .72 acre
tract of land.
Appraised Value: $250
Settlement: The property owner accepted the initial offer.
PARCEL B
Owner: Beatrice Petsel
Description of Taking: Temporary construction easement over a 0.61 acre
tract of land.
Appraised Value: $325
Settlement: The property owner settled for the appraised value with the
addition of language in the easement agreement that two large existing white
oak trees be replaced if they die within the next two years as a result of
damage caused by this project.
114
2
PARCEL C
Owner: Rotary Club of Iowa City
Description of Taking: Three separate parcels are involved in this tract.
First, a 1.39 acre area is being acquired for right-of-way purposes. Second,
a temporary construction easement is being acquired over a .19 acre parcel.
Third, a 1.05 acre borrow easement is being acquired for the purpose of
obtaining fill for the project. This will involve stripping the trees off
this parcel and removing approximately 11,000 cubic yards of fill material.
Appraised Value:
Takina of 1.39 acres by fee simple title - $1,365.00
Taking by temporary easement - 50.00
Taking for borrow site - 2 100.00
Total #3— 5150
Settlement: To date, no settlement has been reached on this parcel. The
property owner offered the following counter offer:
1. $15,000 for the taking of 1.39 acres, taking of temporary easement,
taking of borrow, dedication of the road right-of-way.
2. The City is to replant at least 50% of the total number of trees removed
from the borrow site.
3. The Rotary Club of Iowa City reserves the right to harvest and sell the
trees and timber on the borrow site.
After reviewing this proposal with the City Engineering and Legal staff, it
is the staff's finding that the following adjustments to the City's original
offer can be justified.
1. An additional $500 for the approximately .48 acre of previously
undedicated right-of-way. In the appraiser's review of this land no
value was assigned to this previously undedicated right-of-way. Since
this land is still legally under the ownership of the Rotary Club, it is
argued it has some value to them.
2. An allowance of $1,000 for the acquisition of trees to replace those
stripped from the borrow area. This amount will provide for a more
realistic attempt to replace this site to its original condition.
3. Reservation of the Rotary Club's right to harvest and sell the trees and
timber on the borrow site any time prior to the initiation of construc-
tion.
No additional increase in the purchase offer has been justified by the
information provided and staff, therefore, recommends that the original
purchase offer with the above adjustments represent the City's maximum offer.
If this is not acceptable to the property owner, staff would recommend that
the City proceed immediately with condemnation proceedings.
