Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 24th, 2020 <br />Page 11 of 14 <br /> <br />Klemme asked for information on the period of significance. <br /> <br />Selvoski replied that the Master Plan and Council had determined the period of <br />significance as ending in 1955, since the last mine closed that year. <br /> <br />Haley added that nationally there was no period of significance date. The landmarking <br />program was tied to the 50-year mark. She explained that City Council had pushed to <br />have a hard date for the demolition review process. <br /> <br />Ulm thought it was a great example of what was going on in Louisville at the time and <br />that it was important to the city. The one-car garage was a great example of the <br />beginning of the age of the automobile. The structure also related to the historic <br />elements of the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Haley added that there was a continuity on the street with other houses. <br /> <br />Haley asked for applicant comment. <br /> <br />Selvoski replied that the applicant had had to leave. <br /> <br />Haley asked if Planner Selvoski knew the applicants’ motivations for landmarking. <br /> <br />Selvoski replied that she did not know but, as far as she knew, there were no plans to <br />make any additions. <br /> <br />Haley wondered if Bridget Bacon could do a neighborhood context to study social <br />significance. Haley observed that this period and after was a hard preservation sell for <br />people and having more information could help with future discussions. <br /> <br />Dunlap stated that some of mountain towns were preserving more recent structures like <br />A-Frames in addition to their mining districts. <br /> <br />Parris noted that Louisville has evolved and changed and this was part of the story. Part <br />of the controversy with the mid-modern homes was that they were not always the really <br />cool structures, but she thought that the structure met the criteria and helped the City <br />tell its story. <br /> <br />Klemme moved to find probable cause. Parris seconded. Passed unanimously by voice <br />vote. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION <br /> <br />Historic Structure Assessment Presentations: 1000 Main Street, 701 Pine Street, <br />1016 Grant Avenue, and 908 Rex Avenue <br />Andy Johnson DAJ Design, 922A Main Street, noted that a number of the homes <br />around 1301 Jefferson were built by Denver craftsman and you can tell by the
