From:
Douglas S. Russell, Chair, Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission
Proposed Moffitt Cottage Historic District
The Historic Preservation Commission is proposing the designation of a fourth Iowa City
historic district. The new district would consist of the five stone cottages located between
Muscatine Avenue and Ralston Creek, north of Court Street, all of which were designed and
built by Howard Moffitt in 1939 and 1940. Attached please find a copy of the staff report
prepared for the public hea~ ing that was held before the Historic Preservation Commission on
January 26, 1995. The report explains the justification for establishing the proposed historic
district.
Prior to the January 26 public hearing, a neighborhood meeting was held and each property
owner was contacted by mail about the possibility of establishing an Iowa City historic district
in this location. Three of the five property owners responded favorably, and no negative
responses were received.
As part of the process for establishing a local historic district, a report from both the Historic
Preservation Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission must be submitted to City
Council, which must then approve or deny the ordinance establishing the district. The Historic
Preservation Commission requests a favorable review from the Planning and Zoning
Commission. The proposal will then move on to City Council, who we hope will take the
appropriate action to establish the Moffitt Cottage Historic District as the fourth Iowa City
historic district.
Discussion of this matter will be on the agenda for your February 16, 1995, meeting. If you
have any questions or need more information before then, please feel free to contact me at
351-5610, or Scott Kugler, the Cornmission's staff person, at 356-5243.

Re: Proposed Moffitt Cottage Historic District
'rite Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic
Places in May of 1993. The National Register District contains the five stone cottages located at 1322
through 1330 Muscatine Avenue. The Cotmission is now proposing to create an Iowa City historic
district consisting of the same five cottages. A copy of the National Register nomination form is
attached, and should provide justification for the establishment of the Moffitt Cottage Historic District
as an Iowa City historic district.
Tbe five stone cottages were designed and built by Howard Moffitt in 1939 and 1940, and are single-
family, one or one-and-one-half story, stone-veneered English cottage style buildings. No two cottages
are alike in basic house shape, roof line, or window placement, but all have a similar scale and are
finished in limestone rubble, and all have massive stone fireplace chimneys, attached or integrated
garages, and front windows are prominent features of each structure. As a district, the five buildings
present a picturesque visual appearance, and are representative of the English cottage style rental houses
being built by Moffitt around 1940.
From the mid 1920s through the early 1940s, Moffitt constructed between 100 and 200 small homes in
Iowa City, many located in the same general area as the five stone cottages. He was known for his
creativity and frugality, regularly using salvaged materials irt the construction of the small homes. The
buildings within the proposed district contain portions of street car rails as support beams, and possibly
stone from the Second Ward Elementary School, demolished in 1940. The five stone cottages are
representative of the unique designs and construction techniques used by Moffitt in Iowa City and
Coralville.
The Historic Preservation Plan, as part of the Comprehensive Plan of Iowa City, suggests that the five
Moffitt cottages under discussion be protected as local historic landmarks. However, there is not yet a
provision which permits the Commission to designate historic landmarks. Rather, historic districts are
the only means of protecting the city's historic resources at this time. The designation of an Iowa City
historic district would provide similar protection, and would meet the intent of this provision of the
Preservation Plan. In fact, the five buildings as a district provide a more complete picture of Howard
Moffitt and his role iu the architectural history of Iowa City than any of them individually. Having
already been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, it bas already been shown that the
stone cottages exhibit integrity of design, workmanship, materials, association and setting, and, in staff's
opinion, would be appropriate for designation as an Iowa City historic district.

7. DESCRIFTION
a. Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District:
The group of five buildings in 'the 1300 block of Muscatine Avenue is
composed of single-family, one or one-and-a-half story, stone-veneered
buildings with Period House stylistic forms and details in the English cottage
variation. Buildings in the group were constructed in 1939 and 1940. No two
cottages are alike in basic house shape, roof line, or window placement, but
all have a similar scale and are finished in limestone rubble, either laid in
irregular courses or completely uncoursed. Additionally, all have massive
stone fireplace chimneys, attached or integrated garages, and front windows
(generally ~x6 or 8x8 sash) are prominent features of each structure. The
cottages are situated close to each other with very little front or back yard
and present a picturesque visual appearance. Tied together through their
shared stone cladding, the cotraged exhibit for the observant passerby a
variety of masonry techniques much like the display case of a merchant. What
at first glance appears to be a random collection of odd sized stones, is
a~%ually quite logically organized. One house is covered with the smallest
pieces of limestone; another uses uniformly larger and more angular pieces; in
yet another a strong rhythm is set up between narrow, elongated stones and
larger, squarish pieces. Taken as a whole, the five buildisgs as a district
have more to say about Howard Moffitt and the architectural heritage of Iowa
City than any of them individually.
Garages on four of the five cottages appear to have been converted to
interior living space, however only one such garage is visually altered with
the addition of windows. Other garage doors have been maintained in their
original state. Four of the five buildings are well maintained and in good
repair, and three of the those have front yards which ha~e been landscaped to
enhance the picturesque cottage appearance. Dormers have been added and the
original overhang above one cottage front door has been replaced with a
somewhat larger, but equally odd, overhang. These alterations do not detract
from the overall integrity of the district because they are consistent with
the character of the individual buildings and are not substantial when viewed
in relation to the other four buildings.
The neighborhood surrounding the district has changed little since the
cottages were built. One oC the few small neighborhood grocery stores still
operates across the street. Traffic past the cottages' front doors always has
been relatively heavy at this site since it has been on the bus line and is at
the ~ntersection of two main streets, one of which is a former highway route
through town.

b, Contributing Buildings:
i. 1330 Muscatine Avenue: This building was constructed in either
1939 (Phil Hiller) or 1940 (City Assessor) on the smallest triangular lot
nearest the intersection of East Court Street, Muscatine Avenue and Ralston
Creek. It has a one-and-one-half story, rectangular, gable-end main mass from
which a smaller one-story gable-end wing telescopes to the southeast. The end
wall of this wing contains a massive stone fireplace chimney. Another stone
chimney appears on the roof at the point of division between the integrated
garage, on the northeast end of the structure, and interior space. Walls at
the front, side and part of the rear of the house are clad with light brown
uncut fieldstone, interspersed with dark brown stone, randomly laid. The front
pntrance is flanked by stone buttresses. Wide wooden siding covers the garage
end of the structure. Wood shingles cover the vertical southeast wall of the
gable end above the juncture with the wing. A red asphalt roof covers the
entire structure. Windows are 6 oSer 6 sash. The south east corner of the
house contains a corner window consisting of two sash windows separated by a
squared wood post or pier (seen also in 1324 and 1328 Muscatine Avenue), Wide
header boards appear over the front windows in the stone walls. The garage
door is a pair of hinged louvered panels which open outward, although the
garage has been converted to interior living space. It has a small shed
addition in the rear which is unobtrusive. Additional yard space has been
graveled to provide additional parking. City Directories indicate this
property was owner-occupied for many years, but is now a rental house again.
Despite the need for general maintenance, the building is intact and has
retained its integrity.
ii. 1328 Muscatine Avenue: Built in 1939 (Phil Miller; City
Assessor), this one-and-one-half story, gable-end building is square in
appearance and dominated by a large front gable, containing a fixed window
with 42 individual glass panes. The front entrance is found on one side'of
this ~able, an integrated garage to the other side. The eaves of the roof
extend out to cover the garage and front entrance openings. The roof is
covered with brown asphalt shingles and the ridge ends look as if they once
flared upward, a common Moffitt detail. A massive stone chimney is located on
the front slope of the house to the southeast of the front gable, apparently
at the interior wall between garage and living space. The southwest corner
contains a corner window with 6 over 6 sash windows. A tiny one-story rear
wing appears original. All sides of this building are clad with beige and
darker brown limestone rubble, randomly placed. The individual stones are of
a fairly uniform size and are more angular, with more nearly 90 degree
corners. The wooden garage door has been filled with windows evidencing
conversion to interior living space. These windows are not sympathetic to the
design of the house. A window-type which keeps the garage door appearance
while allowing light into the interior would be more appropriate. Other than
the garage door, this house is intact and moderately well maintained. It has

just been purchased by o~ner-occupants after being a rental for the last
twenty some years.
iii. 1326 Muscatine Avenue: This gable-fron'~ stone cottage, is the
first building from the intersection to have a lot wide enough to be
positioned gable-front to the street. It was built in 1940 (Phil Miller, City
Assessor). Eight over eight front windows flank a central entrance, making. a
symmetrical facade. Header boards over these windows are wide and have angled
ends. Large, flat stones are used as sills. A tail stone fireplace and
chimney extend from the southeast side of the house just in front of the
garage wing, Limestone rubble covering this cottage's walls is quite small
relative to its neighbors, flat, and imbedded in recessed mortar to form open'
joints with deep shadows. Size and shape of each individual stone were so
carefully regulated that once laid an irregular course pattern results. The
appearance is not unlike naturally occurring layers of limestone exposed in
river bend cliffs and highway cutbahks. The front wall is flared near the
ground to give the appearance of solid, stacked atone walls. The roof is
covered with green asphalt singles. Alterations to this building include
dormers on the roof and a replacement--necessitated by a fire some years ago--
of a shingled cone-shaped form overhanging the front entrance. The cone form
is odd and larger than .the equally odd looking original overhang. The garage
has been converted to interior living space without altering its exterior
appearance. The yard is surrounded by a picket fence and shrubs. Despite the
alterations, which are sympathetic to the overall design and character of the
house and district, integrity for this well-maintained house is good. It is
owner-occupied.
iv. 1324 Muscatine Avenue: This rectangular one-and-one-half
story house was built in 1939 (City Assessor) or 1940 (Phil Miller), It haaa
steeply pitched, hipped roof which extends to the southea§t side to form the
garage roof and in front to form an extension where the front door is found.
The roof is covered with gray asphalt shingles. A hipped~roof, shingled dormer
with a small, asymmetrically placed, three-over-one window is placed in the
center of the sloping front roof. At the corner near the front entrance is a
corner window (6 over 6 sash) supported by the same large squared post and.
wide header boarda as in 1324 and 1328 Muscatige Avenue. A stone chimney is
located in the roof to the north or left of the dormer. The limestone rubble
for this structure is light and dark brown and gray mortar was used. Stone is
uncoursed and randomly laid. The wooden garage door appears to be operational.
The stone path to the front door may be original. No alterations in this
building were observed. This intact and well maintained cottage exhibits the
best degree of integrity in the district. It is not owner occupied but has
been a rental property for most of the last nearly fifty years.

one-story rectangular building, which was built in 1940 (Phil Miller, City

Assessor), is its massive, rounded roof, intended to remind the passerby of
thatch. The thatch image is enhanced by a covering of cedar shingles, randomly
laid and of varying length aad size. Competing for prominence is an enormous
stone fireplace chimney, with newer tile chimney pots, centered in the middle
of the front wall. This chimney stack is flanked by a double 6.-over-6 sash
window to the northwest, and the front entrance and another window to the
southeast. The roof line extends far down the sides of the structure, beyond
the tops of the side windows. The garage occupies a rear corner of the house
and has long been converted to interior space, without impacting the visual
appearance of the structure. The stonework on this cottage exhibits some
interesting variations which distinguish it from its neighbors. While the
other four structures are covered with pale beige and darker brown limestone,'
this cottage is covered with a medium to dark gray limestone in gray mortar.
A prior owner, Phil Miller, feels this stone may have come from the Second
Ward Elementary School, demolished in 1940. Using long narrow pieces and
wide squarish pieces, the rubble is'carefully coursed to form a pattern, best
seen in the chimney stack. The narrow pieces are at times vertically aligned,
then horizontally, and are alternated with the squarish stones so that a
rhythm develops. This careful placement deteriorates around the corners and
becomes uncoursed rubble towards the rear of the structure. This structure is
largely intact although a number of replacements or repairs have occurred due
to normal deterioration; small areas of the roof have been re-shingled with
similar materials, some of the lower sashes have been replaced with like
re-placements and small rear windows have been replaced with a larger window.
The window replacement does not impact the appearance of the district, however
because of its placement at the rear of the structure. A concrete pad
immediately adjacent to the front of the house was poured at some time, and
the front yard, graveled for parking for years while the house was a rental,
has been returned to gra.~s and flowers, with a picket fence. This well
maintained, owner-occupied cottage has retained a high de~ree of integrity of
materials, workmanship, and design.

8. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The five stone cottages located in the 1300 block of Muscatine Avenue
form a district which is locally significant under Criterion C as an excellent
example of the rental houses designed and built by Howard F. Moffitt during
1939 and 1940 in a popular Period House style intended to evoke an image of a
vernacular, hand-built, cottage of the English or European countryside. Faced
with limestone rubble collected from local outcroppings, these houses were

built with some salvaged materials and two houses remain rental units, all
characteristic of Moffitt's buildin~ practices. Their location on a busy
street marks them as the archetypal "Moffitt houses," as that phrase is
locally used. As a cluster of buildings, these stone cottages exhibit a high
degree of integrity of design, workmanship, and materials and an outstanding
degree of integrity of association and setting.
The district's location at a busy intersection of two main Iowa City
streets makes these cottages perhaps the best known and mpst visible of all
the Moffitt houses. Thousands of Iowa Citians, permanent residents and
transient students and faculty--only in town for four years of college or
until a new teaching position is secured--have passed by these Moffitt houses.
They are as imbedded in the memories of passersby as their limestone rocks ate
imbedded in the mortar. All the distinctive Moffitt elements--the
construction methods, the scavenged materials, the picturesque house form, the
ornamentation--come together in this cluster of five houses. Their setting,
on small strips of a triangular pidce of lm~d formed by the angled confluence
of Ralston Creek and ~uscatine Avenue, has remained unchanged since they were
built; their neighborhood also has remained largely unchanged. That there
five cottages in a row is typical of Moffitt's practice of clustering rental
hou%es together. These five buildings are excellent examples of the type of
housing Moffitt built in Iowa City and Coralville, Iowa.

by Ralston Creek.
~oundary Justification:
By defining the district boundaries as inclusive of lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
and 7, all five Moffitt structures are included and all other residential
structures are excluded. These lots are also visually defined by two existing
geographic features, Ralston Creek and Muscatine Avenue, which dictated the
shape of the platted subdivision.

RE: Proposed Designation of the Moffitt Cottage Historic District as an Iowa City Historic
District
Dear Scott:
Thank you for submitting documentation pertaining to the above referenced local
designation.
Regarding the City of Iowa City's proposed designation of the Moffitt Cottage
Historic District, the State has reviewed the nomination and found it to be satisfactory. The
proposed local district meets the criteria for districts whose
significance is primarily amhitectural as spelled out in the Code of Iowa. The proposed
district's boundaries am exactly the same as those of the district as listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. Iowa City has complied with Code of Iowa procedures
as well as their ordinance in the designation process. The nomination contains a clear
statement of significance and clearly identifies the properties within the district as well as
district boundaries.
We recorm-nend that the city proceed with the local district designation as proposed.
If Iowa City designates the above referenced district, the City will need to submit a
copy of the ordinance designating the district to the State. In addition, we encourage you to
take steps to insure that the Recorder of Deeds is informed of the designated status of
contributing properties as well as current property owners. Ideally, each property owner
and/or occupant of a contributing property within the district should be informed of the
benefits and responsibilities of owning a National Register and locally designated property;
should be provided a copy of the National Register or local nomination: and should receive
an explanation of the design review process.

Dear Commissioners,
It has come to our attention that Planning and Zoning will soon be reviewing the
Historic Preservation Commission's proposal to create the Moffitt Cottage
Historic District as an Iowa City Historic District,
As officers of the Longfellow Neighborhood Association, we enthusiastically
endorse this proposal. We do not, of course, speak for every resident in the
neighborhood, but as evidenced by responses to a neighborhood survey and by
our 5 Year Plan draft, there is a keen interest in the preservation and the
recognition of historic structures in our neighborhood.
We look forward to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council's
approval of this proposal and await work on establishing a Conservation District
in the neighborhood, as well. We are eager to participate in this process.
Sincerely,
Pain Ehrhardt, Officer

the surrounding residential neighborhood,
lessens the expected vehicular traffic generated
by such a facility; and
WHEREAS, neighborhood centers are not
permitted in lower density residential zones,
where concern about undue traffic on local
streets is greatest; and
WHEREAS, in high density single-family resi-

Re:
Access Requirements for Neighborhood Centers
In the Iowa City Zoning Chapter, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER is defined as "a use owned and
operated by a nonprofit organization, as defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue
Code, as amended, providing a place for social services, such as child care, supervised
recreation, counseling referral for children and adults and/or suppod groups for children and
adults. Such services should be intenaed primarily, though not exclusively, for those persons
living with a mile radius of the center." In certain residential zones, neighborhood centers are
permitted if additional regulations, as specified in Zoning Chapter Section 14-6L-1M, are met:
1. Neighborhood centers shaft be located with access to aderial or collector streets.
All centers engaged in child care shall meet the requirements of subsection D
of this Section. [additional regulations for child care facilities, involving fencing,
outdoor play area, interior floor area and State requirements]
The hours of operation of neighborhood centers and outdoor activities on the site
shall be limited to from seven o'clock (7:00) a.m. to ten o'clock (10:00) p.m.
Screening shall be provided between any parking areas abutting residential uses
which require four (4) or fewer parking spaces, in accordance with Section 14-
6S-11 of this Chapter.
As noted above, when the additional regulations apply, neighborhood center access is
restricted to arterial or collector streets. Staff recently received a request from the City
Community Development Division and the Board of Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County
to amend the access requirements to permit access on local streets. The Neighborhood
Centers of Johnson County are proposing to build a neighborhood center in the Pheasant
Ridge area with access on Roberts Road, a local street. The proposed neighborhood center
site is a corner lot that also has frontage on Bartelt Road, a collector street. However, the
topography of the site, the curved configuration of the intersection of Robeds Road and Barreit
Road, and the existence of underground utilities along the BadeIt Road frontage are factors that
work as restrictions against providing access for the neighborhood center on Barreit Road.
Centered in a neighborhood of apadments and condominiums, the location of the proposed
Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center favors pedestrian access. Further, locating access on
the local street should not prove disruptive to the surrounding, predominantly multi-family
residential neighborhood.
However, because a Zoning Chapter text amendment is applied on a community-wide basis,
an ordinance change needs to be evaluated on its own medts. Its general application needs
to be reviewed in addition to the particular circumstances that precipitated the request. As a
basis for its review, staff first considered the zones where neighborhood centers are currently
allowed and under what constraints:
2
Neighborhood centers are not permitted in lower density residential zones [RR-1, RS~5
and RS-8], or commercial and industrial zones.
In the medium density residential zones [RS-12, RNC-12, RFBH and RM-12],
neighborhood centers are permitted only by special exception and must meet the
additional regulations cited above.
In the RM-20 and RNC-20 zones, neighborhood centers are permitted as provisional
uses; provided the four additional regulations of Section 14-6L-1M are met.
Neighborhood centers are permitted uses in the RM-44 and PRM zones; no additional
regulations are applied.
Staff recommends that the access restriction for neighborhood centers be eliminated. With the
emphasis of neighborhood centers to serve walk-in clients, who reside in the surrounding
residential neighborhood, the access restriction appears to be an unwarranted additional
regulation. Neighborhood centers are not permitted in lower density residential zones, where
concern about undue traffic on local streets is greatest. In the medium density residential
zones, additional scrutiny is provided by the Board of Adjustment. In reviewing special
exception requests, the Board weighs the impact of a proposed use on adjacent properties,
including potential traffic generation and conflicts. Traffic generated by a neighborhood center
can be more readily accommodated in the more densely populated zones.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Code Section 14-6L-1M1, the additional regulation restricting
access for neighborhood centers to aderial and collector streets, be repealed.

Dear Tom:
The Community Development Division is asking for expedited consideration of the request
from the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County to amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit
neighborhood centers which do not access a collector or arterial street. Current code
requirements would prohibit construction of a proposed neighborhood center on Roberts Road,
which is a local street.
In March 1994 the Committee on Community Needs (CCN) allocated M50,000 in 1994
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to be used to construct a new
neighborhood center for the Pheasant Ridge neighborhood. These funds should be expended
by June 30, 1995, thereby creating the urgency for your consideration of the request.
Currently Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County operates a limited neighborhood center
out of a two-bedroom apartment within the Pheasant Ridge apartment complex. This current
facility at Pheasant Ridge is totally inadequate to serve the 248 surrounding apartments, 231
of which are subsidized through the Federal Section 8 program for very low income families.
While the center is open to neighborhood families other than those residing at Pheasant Ridge,
in practice over 95% of the users are tenants of Pheasant Ridge, most of whom walk to the
center, and Neighborhood Centers expect this usage to continue. It is therefore reasonable
to expect relatively little additional traffic in the Pheasant Ridge complex and particularly on
Roberts Road as a result of the new neighborhood center. Local road standards should be
adequate.
If you have any questions regarding the project, please feel free to call me at 356-5244.
Yours sincerely,
Marianne Milkman

Dear Mr. Miklo:
I am writing to request an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.
The Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (NCJC) is planning to
build a center on Roberts Road, a local street. The amendment is
required because this type of facility must access either a
collector or arterial street.
The Board would like to break ground in May 1995 and so we
need your prompt cooperation. The timing is also important because
we have received $150,000 in CDBG funds to build the site, which
must be expended by July 1, 1995.
As you may know, the NCJC has been providing neighborhood
based services for over twenty years while operating out of a
three-bedroom apartment at Pheasant Ridge. The owners have
provided us this space, but it is woefully inadequate. The complex
contains 248 apartments, of which 231 are subsidized by the federal
government through the Section 8 program. With the additional
space we hope that we do not have to deny services to anyone.
Our current programs, which include tutoring and parenting,
will be expanded to include day care. The NCJC mission is to
provide these supportive and preventive services in a neighborhood.
We believe nearly every one whom we will serve lives in the
Pheasant Ridge complex. Therefore, we anticipate that most people
will walk to the center, and that there should be very little
increase in traffic.
If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to
contact me at 351-6570. Thank you'for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Susan Dulek,

Dear Mr. Miklo:
This is a follow-up to my letter to you dated February 22,
1995. The Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County requests an
"expedited consideration,, of the proposed amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance regarding Roberts Road. The reasons we are requesting
this are set out in my letter to you dated February 22.
If there is further information or documentation that you need
from the Neighborhood Centers Board, please contact me immediately
at 351-6570. If I do not hear from you by February 28, 1995, I
will assume that the City does not require additional information
or documentation from the Board for the "expedited consideration.,,
Thank you for your assistance.
