The building occupies the entire city lot, minus a parking area at the rear. It has two prominent façades, the primary (west) facing Main St., and the secondary (north) facing 11th St. The westfaçade is a horizontal rectangle, while the north façade shows a series of brick additions at the east side of the building, in addition to the main structure. The primary façade has three storefronts at ground level, the north and center being relatively original and intact, and the south one being cosmetically altered, but possessing the general original configuration. The north storefront, the Bootery's entrance, has a central recessed entrance, with large display windows at either side. There are transoms above the display windows, but a window air conditioner has replaced the door transom. Originally, four decorated iron columns ran the full height of the store, but the north column appears to be missing or never existed. A new storm door is at the entrance. Like the entire building, the brick below the display windows has been painted over the years. A large, traditional, retractable canvas awning shelters the entire window system. The middle storefront is much like the north one, but the transoms have been bricked over, only two columns at either end exist, and the storefront entrance is right of center, with a common stairwell entrance leading to apartments above to the right of the space. These doors appear to be early, if not original, and an awning also shelters the entire space. The south storefront has been modified more substantially, with a faux bricked"over transom, and the wall beneath the display windows has been paneled over. The main central, recessed entrance and an early door remain. Above the Bootery entrance is a backlit projecting electric sign, anchored with cables at 4 places in the brick wall. Above the commercial spaces are 2 stories of plain red brick walls, each punctuated with a row of 6 taIl4-over-4 sash windows (with an arched top sash) covered by a Demolition Request: 1086 Main Street Page 2 newer aluminum storm/screen system. A few west wall windows, however, have been replaced with a 1-over-1 plain sash. The north & middle commercial spaces are occupied by the Bootery and a store sign is painted on the north brick wall. This wall contains 2 rows of 3 windows on the upper floors on the original part of the building, and a series of 4 smaller windows at the 1st & 2nd floor additions. A handsome, intact metal cornice wraps the west & north façades, featuring 7 sets of double brackets at west and 5 at north. A non-original wooden stairwell leads to a second floor egress off the north façade. A flat roof tops the building and the limestone foundation is exposed at the north and east facades, due to the sloping terrain toward the east. The building sits on a fairly intact block on Main Street, with buildings from the 1860s- 1880s on either side. Generally, these buildings are similar in scale and materials. The apartment additions are historic, cumulative and confusing. Generally, off the main masonry wall, a small clapboarded lean-to summer kitchen was constructed over the commercial space addition roofs. The summer kitchens are narrow (running about 1/2 the width of the apartment) and consistently alike, so there is ample space to move between them outside on the roof structure of the commercial space additions. Added (to the east) of each summer kitchen are lean-to storage additions, of varying sizes but similar construction. As many as 1-4 compartments are in each addition, with doors or access panels to each compartment. Over the entire structure (roof and additions) is a porte-cochere like structure- a wooden roof structure supported by columns, attached to the main masonry wall and extending over the entire original com me rica I space masonry addition, protecting all the summer kitchens and other frame additions. A wooden stairwell provides a second entrance off the back toward parking below. Two different sets of double frame storefronts fronted north behind this building, the first being gone by 1909, the second set present by 1936, but gone by 1962. A narrow covered passage separated this building and the first set of nearly adjoining buildings. Over time the east or rear end of this building was solidly built up with a complex array of small frame buildings and additions, one of which intruded southward behind 1066 Main. By 1909 the existing array of brick one and two-story additions, stairs and frame porches was in place. The frame porches are not indicated on Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps and appear to be of recent (post-1962) origin. 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 third-floor framed rear additions and the east and north stairs on the structure at 1086 Main Street. The additions and stairs 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: ,._~~~~---~- -,- -.. --- Demolition Request: 1086 Main Street Page 3 (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.
