Home My WebLink AboutHCD-1.14DATE: April 14, 1997 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director SUBJECT: Request to consider an application for a historic preservation loan for the exterior rehabilitation of the house located at 1645 Orange St. FILE: HCD-1.14 STAFF REPORT The Planning Director recommends approval of this request in the amount of $30,000.00. The applicant recently purchased this home as his future residence. It is his intent to completely refurbished the structure. Initial plans for the exterior involve leveling the house and replacing the roof. The house was built c. 1905. According to SPARE Beaumont, the house is of a Classical Revival/Stick Style. The house was originally built for Benjamin Shipley, a former Jefferson County Clerk. The house has a City of Beaumont Historic Marker. This house is architecturally significant and may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Provided the loan amount is approved at $30,000, the rate of repayment will be $357.14 monthly for a period of 84 months. Exhibits are attached. 16415 ORANGE AVENUE I AM PROUD TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REHABILITATE A PIECE OF COMMUNITY HISTORY THROUGH THE PRESERVATION LOAN PROGRAM. MY INTENTIONS ARE FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IN MY HOME AND THE NEIGHBORING AREA. IF I AM ACCEPTED IN THE PROGRAM THE EXTERIOR WILL BE RESTORED TO EXCELLENT CONDITION. ROOFS, SIDING, LEVELING AND REPLACEMENT OF WINDOWS AND DOORS PREVIOUSLY BOARDED UP IN THE PAST YEARS WILL BE PUT BACK INTO PLACE. BALCONY RAILS ONCE LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR WILL BE DUPLICATED FROM OTHER HOMES OF THAT ERA. FUTURE PLANS TO THE EXTERIOR ARE A SIX FOOT WOOD FENCE WITH TWO FOOT LATTICE PANELS IN THE BACK YARD AND COMPLETION OF THE ROTTED GARAGE STORAGE AREA. I WOULD LIKE TO MIRROR THE BALCONY RAILS WITH A WOOD FENCE SURROUNDING THE FRONT YARD. INTERIOR PLANS WILL INCLUDE NEW ELECTRICAL SERVICE AND PLUMBING, CENTRAL AIR AND HEAT, CROWN MOLDING, NEW BATHS AND KITCHEN AND RESTORED FIREPLACES AND FLOORS.
