BACKGROUND 109 N Adams, the former Schauer & Schumacher funeral home, is a contributing building in the Downtown Historic District, built in 1926. The building maintains a relatively high degree of integrity. This request for COA calls for repair of existing windows and reproduction of missing windows in the 2nd & 3rd stories of the front façade. Information provided indicates that missing windows will be reproduced based on the design of existing windows. New windows will incorporate a double-pane design, but they will fit the original openings and match the historic appearance of original windows and maintain a visible light transmittance value of 74%. Relevant sections of the Secretary of the Interior’s (SOI) Standards for Rehabilitation include the following. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. The proposed repair of existing windows and reproduction of missing windows appears to satisfy all SOI Standards. RECOMMENDATION LC staff recommends approval of the proposed window repairs and reproductions noting that the information presented adheres to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of historic buildings.
