City Council Meeting Minutes September 21 2010 Page 9 of 11 RESOLUTION No. 56, SERIES 2010 A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE ADKINS HOUSE, 816 MCKINLEY AVENUE, AN HISTORIC LANDMARK Mayor Sisk opened the public hearing and requested a Staff presentation. Planning Director Russ explained Resolution No. 56, Series 2010 designates the Adkins House, located at 816 McKinley Avenue, a historic landmark. When this house was first built it was neither a house nor on this lot. It was originally constructed in 1910 as a carriage house for John and Margaret "Maggie" Thompson, whose primary residence was addressed 301 Spruce Street. They owned Lots 12 through 18 in Louisville Heights. The carriage house is of Greek Revival architecture and moved to its current location in the 1939. The porch was enclosed in 1948; skylights were added in 1989, and the current owners constructed an addition to the rear of the structure in 1995 for a bathroom and mudroom. The home is owned by Julie Parmenter and Peter Weise. Staff recommended landmarking the property because the architectural significance is the most dominant element. Staff suggested this even though the structure was moved to its current location in the 1930's and there is evidence the structure had minor alterations to the original design elements of the house. APPLICANT PRESENTATION Ms. Parmenter shared a photo of Frank and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Adkins standing in front of the house, where they lived for sixty years. She noted Frank and Lizzie are buried in the Louisville Cemetery. Mayor Sisk requested public comment and hearing none, closed the public hearing.
