CRITERIA FOR DEMOLITION REVIEW: The Historic Preservation Commission should review the demolition permit application based upon any of the following criteria in Section 15.36.200(H) of the Louisville Municipal Code: CRITERIA FINDINGS 1. The eligibility of the building for designation as an individual landmark consistent with the purposes and standards in this chapter; Significance Social Significance - Exemplifies cultural, political, economic or social heritage of the community. From the 1870s through 1983, the property was associated with agriculture in the Louisville area. The Harper family owned the property through 1922, at which point it was sold to the Hocheder family who has retained ownership of the property through present day. Architectural Significance - Represents a built environment of a group of people in an era of history that is culturally significant to Louisville. 307 Eisenhower is a single story vernacular bungalow with a low-pitched front -gable roof. It has wide, unenclosed eave overhang, and originally had a prominent full -width front porch (later enclosed) covered by the main roof. The decorative triangular knee braces under the gables on the facade and rear elevation appear to be original. Window and door placement as well as the footprint of the house appears to remain unchanged. Integrity The house has integrity of location, design, workmanship, and association. Integrity of setting and feeling is compromised by the construction of the Hunters Ridge subdivision. Staff finds the property meets the criteria for significance and architectural integrity. The structure is currently not eligible for landmarking because it is located outside of Old Town Louisville. However, starting January 1, 2019, the property is eligible based 2017 Ballot Issue 2F, which extended the eligibility area City-wide.
