The <br />subcommittee recommended that this request be heard by the Commission because <br />the house appears to have retained its historic character and there is social <br />significance. <br /> <br />ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY: <br />The existing structure is a one story single-family house built between 1904 and 1909. <br />The house is side-gabled and appears to have retained its overall form since at least <br />1948. The siding, roofing, and windows are not original, and many of the window <br />openings have been modified. The front porch appears to be a later addition. <br />According to building permit records, the addition to the north was made in 1966. <br /> <br />CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: <br />The house appears to have retained its form, though most of the finer elements have <br />been lost. The form represents a typical miners house, lending the structure <br />architectural significance. There is also social significance, having been built by Italian <br />immigrants and later owned by a miner and Louisville police chief. <br /> <br />Staff believes the structure may be eligible for individual landmarking and therefore <br />recommends a 180 day stay be placed on the application so design assistance may be <br />offered. <br />
