The building occupies its entire parcel, except for a parking area at the rear, and faces Main Street, with shared party walls abutting its two neighbors. It has a rectangular horizontal façade and has basically a rectangular floor plate, except for various 1st floor additions to the commercial establishments at the rear. The primary façade (west) has 3 modified storefronts at ground level and 2 stories of plain brick walls above are each punctuated with 9 tall window openings. A metal denticulate comice caps the west façade, supported by 10 evenly spaced brackets. All the windows were removed and replaced with plywood for mothballing purposes, but the frames (generally in poor condition) remain in place. The window sashes, in varying stages of disrepair, are stored inside the building. The center 2nd-story window is false, with a perpendicular wall meeting it in Apt 2N. The three basic storefront configurations remain intact, and the building materials have some historic integrity. The south storefront is basically intact, with large display windows (painted over at the upper half of the display windows and transom level as a sun-blocker) and original decorated iron columns. A recessed central entrance has a traditionally styled (but not original) door. The middle storefront's smaller iron columns appear to be missing, but the large pilasters separating it from the other storefronts remain. The display glass was replaced and the transoms covered with a imitation brick. An early or original door remains. This storefront shares its space with the doorway leading to a stairwell up to the residential spaces above. This entrance, apparently original, is located at the right side of the center commercial space. The north commercial space mimics the configuration of the south one, but architectural features appear to be covered by various new materials. The end flanking pilasters exist, but the smaller central columns likely exist underneath a new applied display glass and comer trim. The transom area above is covered with imitation brick. The central door appears to be older, but probably not original. A small addition to the east allows room for mechanicals and store workspace. The roof is built up rolled, tar roofing. It is in poor condition, with leaks throughout. The chimneys throughout this building are in varying degrees of disrepair, suffering from lack of maintenance (pointing) and protection (caps). One chimney's walls are missing, and a 5-8" high open well remains. Another is so far deteriorated, its remedy parging barely remains. Others are in more stable condition, needing raking, re-pointing, and proper Demolition Request: 1066 Main Street Page 2 caps to remedy the exterior problems. Parapet walls on the north & south sides, originally brick, have been parged and tarred over the years. The east façade, or the back wall of the building, has ad-hoc additions on the first floor and the original brick wall above with fenestration for the residences. The first floor additions are of varying ages, in poor condition and obliterate the original fenestration. Above, two stories of what were once doors and windows are largely covered over in plywood today for mothballing purposes. The back stairwell and egress system are for the most part removed. A few windows have been downsized (over toilet rooms) or bricked in entirely, but the original openings are evident. The original east or rear facade featured a full-width three-story roofed balcony system and a centered second floor walkway that connected with a two-story water closet and large stable which fronted on the alleyway. By 1909 the present uneven three-part array of frame extensions was extant. The northernmost served 1986 Main to the north. A stairway, still in place, led up to the second floor balcony level. The balcony system was completely removed post-1962. These rear additions are not character defining elements, have no bearing on the building's historical significance, and are greatly deteriorated to be retained or reused. Property History: The property was surveyed by Jim Jacobsen of History Pays in 2002- 2003 as part of the Phase III Architectural/Historic Survey/Evaluation. Please refer to the attached Iowa Site Inventory Form for property history. Staff Analysis: The applicant is proposing to demolish the one-story rear additions, stairs and entry porches on the structure at 1066 Main Street. The addition, stairs and entry porches are not original to the structure. The property owner has obtained approval from with the State Historic Preservation Office for a Certified Rehabilitation. The SHPO has review the plans and indicated that they meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The City Code provides for the Historic Preservation Commission to review the demolition request, and then to make a determination as to: (1) whether the building has historic or architectural significance to the community, and (2) whether denial of the proposed demolition would prevent the property owner from earning a reasonable economic return. If the HPC finds that one or the other of these criteria is not met, then the Commission must recommend approval of the demolition request. If the HPC finds that both of these criteria are met, then the Commission must recommend denial of the demolition request. The Commission's recommendation goes on to the City Council for final action. ~ f7 p,."."" by 'lciJ1b ~~V~liÀw1~ -;eweditM~(lJ«:í¡;ð D"'1:Þ.otf ~".~-,---- ...m~~- ~-,.' ~ - 0 0 U .= ..... ~ i -- ..... ~ ~ ~ ..... 00 = .... ~ ~ \0 \0 0 ~
