HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2007-06-07 | 6 | Chair Anderson believed the building was representative of the architectural mixture of styles in Alameda, in the Spanish Colonial Revival vernacular. She added that it was designed by a renowned Alameda architect. For those two reasons, she highly recommended that it be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. Board Member Iverson noted that because of the prominence of the military in Alameda, this building holds a special status in Alameda for all those who served, and those who benefited. 8. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS: None. 9. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS: Board Member Lynch noted that she had made a booklet addressing the Rug Works (also known as the Clamp Swing Building) and distributed them to the Board. Board Member Lynch proposed that the sign on the Alameda Rug Works be added to the Historic Sign Ordinance. She noted that almost two years ago, the two station signs were added. She noted that the sign list had not been updated. Ms. Eliason noted that she would check that. Chair Anderson inquired about the status of 1343 Fernside Boulevard and mentioned it looked like a stucco house with three round arches at the front porch. She added that it had plywood attached all around the house, and that the top floor had been completely removed. Ms. Eliason advised that she would send out Code Enforcement because that house had to comply with a very specific design review that was extensively developed. She would request that a Stop Work Order be issued if necessary. Board Member Iverson inquired about the house on Broadway and Santa Clara. Ms. Eliason noted that was a bungalow where the stucco was removed down to the lathe; the lathe was subsequently removed and that area was sheathed in plywood. Vice Chair Miller noticed that house in each stage, and had thought it was an extensive termite job; he added there was a similar house with tapered columns on Central Avenue that was being rebuilt in kind. Ms. Eliason noted that she would check on that house. Chair Anderson noted that in October, staff had brought to the HAB's attention the historical building ordinance, which was to be reviewed. Ms. Eliason noted that item was on the Planning and Building Director's desk. Minutes of June 7, 2007 Regular Historical Advisory Board Meeting Page 6 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2007-06-07.pdf |
