The primary homes, addressed at 421 East and 547 East, have historic <br />images that show little change over time to the front elevations and general layouts of those two <br />homes. The generally smaller structures addressed at 551 East, 563 East, and 565 East have <br />Assessor Card photos, which show little -to -no change to windows, siding, and form. 555 East <br />and 559 East do not have historic photos. <br />Though the structures range in origin and time period, they all speak to the vernacular styles of <br />pre-1950s Louisville, when smaller, mine -centric development was common. Several buildings <br />embellish their simple form and style with interesting elements, such as an asymmetrical gabled <br />entry (555 East), recessed entry (563 East), and clipped gable roof (421 East). <br />CRITERIA FOR DEMOLITION REVIEW: <br />The Historic Preservation Commission should review the demolition permit application based <br />upon any of the following criteria in Section 15.36.200(H) of the Louisville Municipal Code <br />LMC : <br />Criteria <br />Meets <br />Criteria? <br />Evaluation <br />Staff reviewed the structures as a group. <br />1.
