PUBLIC NOTIFICATION Notices Mailed to Property Owners: 15 Responses in Favor: Responses in Opposition: March 19.1994 To: Historic Landmark Commission From: Roy & Sue Philp Dear commission members. My wife and I have bought the home at. 2380 Gladys Street in Beaumont. The exterior of the home needs a new roof. a major paint job, and the flooring_ of the front and back porches needs to be replaced. The interior of the home seems to be in fairly good condition but still needs a lot of work to make the home a home. We plat, to add central air and heat and to insulate the floor. the walls. and the attic. We also plan some minor remodeling to the existing downstairs bathroom and to add a closet because there are no closets in the house. The kitchen is in need of some modernization and my wife hopes to add a fireplace. We are calling the restoration of the upstairs room phase 2 and plan to tackle it at a latter time. The house represents the Victorian Era of architecture and was built around 1900. Bryan Hendrix who specializes in the restoration of homes thinks it might have been built as early as 1890. Originally the home was located on Magnolia Avenue and was moved to the present location by Mr. Birdwell to Drevent demolition. The Sanborn Fire Atlas does not rho back this: early in time. All the wood in the upstairs room is still exposed and quality of the wood and the craftsmanship of the carpenters can be seen. The long leaf _yellow pine probably came from trees that were around 100 vears old when cut. We would,like for the Landmark Commission to consider this home a Historical Cultural Landmark. In as bad a shape the house is at present it only takes one quick look to see the charm that the house possesses. If fully restored it will definitely be an asset to the neighborhood and to the Oaks Historic District. We believe the house represents an important part of Beaumonts history and should be preserved. We have had plans and blue prints drawn of the house as well as recommendations and drawings from Mr. Hendrix. Tom Koiak has given us a bid for the restoration work and we are presently getting other bids. We will be glad to furnish the Coaribssion with any of this information. 5a,pcere ly . ;;O�Ylv5p,-,il im i1�1;�IlIl1I1 IIII11 s::.
