DAJDESIGN ARCHITECTURE, INTERIORS 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 RESEARCH BACKGROUND / PROJECT PARTICIPANTS DAJ Design conducted an Historic Structural Assessment for the structure located at 921 Main Street, Louisville, Colorado to determine its feasibility as a candidate for historic landmark designation as defined under the Historic Preservation program of the City of Louisville. The structure is a commercial property. The City of Louisville Historic Preservation Commission found probable cause that the building may be eligible for landmarking under criteria in section 15.36.050 of the Louisville Municipal Code. Therefore, the Commission approved the Historic Structural Assessment to be paid for by the Louisville Preservation Fund grant. v�The primary purpose of this HSA is to evaluate the property's current condition and to identify preservation priorities for the best use of rehabilitation funds. DAJ Design inspected 921 Main visually to identify areas of necessary maintenance and repair. It is possible that complications exist that were not visible and therefore it is recommended that the property owner includes contingency funding in any repair budget. DAJ Design inspected 921 Main Street on September 19th, 2024, with GFE Structural. The weather for the site visit was warm with clear skies. Adequate access to the basement was available, though not all areas were entirely visible with limited access to the crawlspace. There are no attic spaces and therefore assessment of the roof structure was only possible from ceiling observations within the main floor of the building. There are no other structures located on the site.
