Current Photo <br />A subcommittee was formedand conducted a site visit on November 30, 2012. The <br />subcommitteerecommended that this requestbe heard by the Commission. <br />ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY: <br />The existing structure is a one story tudorstyle single-family housebuilt in 1931.The <br />house ispredominatelyside-gabledwith two smaller front gables and an attached <br />garage set back from the front of the house.The overall form is intact, but while the <br />structure appears to have been stucco at least as far back as 1948, the stucco and <br />roofing appear to have been changed since then.The windows do not appear to be <br />original, but the openings have been maintained along with the distinctive rounded front <br />door.The original chimney is intact. <br />CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: <br />The househas retained its form and massing, and many of its details.The window <br />openings have been retained, though the windows themselves may not be original. The <br />house has a distinctive form, though not one common to Louisville. The social history is <br />strong, including a semi-professional baseball player and a nationally famous band <br />leader and composer. <br />Staff believesthe house would be eligible for individual landmarking, and therefore <br />recommends a 180 day stay be placed on the application. <br />5 <br />
