Home My WebLink About55-HC DATE: June 18, 2012 TO: City Council and Planning Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for an HC-L (Historic-Cultural Landmark) Designation FILE: 55-HC NOTE: On June 11, 2012, the Historic Landmark Commission recommended approval of the HC-L Designation STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval subject to the following condition: 1. If the house is ever demolished, the HC-L Designation will be removed by the City of Beaumont. Demetria Standberry, the daughter of the owner of the property, has applied for an HC-L (Historic-Cultural Landmark) Designation for the house located at 470 Jackson. Ms. Standberry states that the house was built more than 100 years ago. In 1878, the property was sold to the Beaumont Lumber Company. As early as 1900, J.D. Kilgore used the house as his family residence and a grocery store. In 1915, Mr. Kilgore purchased the property. As the community prospered, so did the grocery store. Eventually the store was relocated to Irving Street where it continued to serve the community. After several changes in ownership, the property was sold in 1966 to Ms. Standberry=s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Standberry. The house served as both the Standberry=s residence and Mr. Standberry=s shoe repair shop. Eventually the shoe repair shop was moved next door. Mrs. Standberry also ran a small seamstress business from the house. Mr. Standberry passed his trade on to the next generation. Currently, the second generation owns and operates a shoe repair shop and barber shop located on Washington. While the house was damaged by Hurricane Rita, it has not had any significant changes to its design since it was originally built. The house is an excellent example of working class housing built during the early growth period of Beaumont. Exhibits are attached. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices mailed to property owners 44 .
