7150 Exterior Alteration Review Criteria For applications other than for the use ofsubstitute materials thereview body must find that one of the following criteria has been met in order to approve an alteration

request

Staff Report HI1009 Page 1

1 The proposed alteration will cause the structure to more closely approximate the historical

character appearance or material composition ofthe original structure than the existing structureor

2 The proposed alteration is compatible with the historic characteristics ofthe area and with the

existing structure in massing size scale materials and architectural features

7160 The Secretary ofthe InteriorsStandards for Rehabilitation The following standards are to be applied to

rehabilitation projects in a reasonable manner taking into consideration economic and technical

feasibility

1 A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal

change to the defining characteristics ofthe building and its site and environment

2 The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved The removal of historic

material or alteration offeatures and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided

3 Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time place and use Changes that

create a false sense ofhistorical development such as adding conjectural features or architectural

elements from other buildings shall not be undertaken

own right shall be retained and preserved

5 Distinctive features finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that

characterize a historic property shall be preserved

6 Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced Where the severity of

deterioration requires replacement ofa distinctive feature the new feature shall match the old in

design color texture and other visual qualities and where possible materials Replacement of

missing features shall be substantiated by documentary physical or pictorial evidence

7 Chemical or physical treatments such as sandblasting that cause damage to historic material shall

not be used The surface cleaning ofstructures if appropriate shall be undertaken using the gentlestmeans possible

FINDINGS

Background History The subject property is known as the Raw Water Pumping Plant building and is partof the Albany Water Treatment Plant facility The building was built in 1948 and is attached to theControl Powerhouse building the two structures share a common wall It is hard to determine if the

Raw Water Pumping Plant building is a standalone building or an addition The Control building was

built between 1903 and 1906 and reconstructed in 1924 It is a historiccontributing resource in the

StaffReport HI1009 Page 2

Monteith National Register District The Willamette Valley Power Company built the building to

generate electricity

2 The Raw Water Pumping Plant building attached to the Control building is brick construction in the same

style and character ofthe historic Control building at the Water Treatment facility See attached historicresource survey and pictures submitted by the applicant The decorative features include a brick panelsover the door and windows multilightwindows with wood trim topping the windows

3 The other two historic buildings at the facility are the Power Plant Soda Ash substation and FiltrationPlant Old Filterbuildings These building were finished in 1912 in the Utilitarian style with brick as the

primary wall material

4TH STREET

4 Proposed Exterior Alterations In general seismic upgrades are proposed to the unreinforced brick RawWater plant building The purpose ofthese alterations is to reduce the duration ofwater treatment service

outage following a major earthquake and to reduce the lifesafety seismic hazard The alterations willconsist ofmetal anchor plates about 6 inches in diameter located 8 inches from the top ofthe brick on theeast and west sides of the building The plates would be finished in a brick color to minimize their

visibility See the attached applicants information and numbered photographs and drawings for more

details The project is being reviewed concurrently by the State Historic Preservation Office

5 Secretary of InteriorsStandards Evaluation The applicant has provided findings for each of the

Secretary ofInteriorsStandards see attached information In summary

The building is still in its original use generating powerI


The historic character of the building is intact The visual impact of the proposed seismic upgradeswill be minimized to the extent possible The fascia board will be removed and reinstalled over themetal plates The metal plates will be painted a brick color to match the existing brick Unique and

original features ofthe building are not proposed to be removed or altered 2

The proposed seismic improvements will not add conjectural features or architectural elements to the

building 0

Distinctive features and craftsmanship brick panels and multilight windows that characterize the

building will be preserved 5

The seismic improvements will help to stabilize the building and extend its life Most ofthe work willbe on the inside and not visible from the street The fascia board will be replaced with matchingboards in the same dimensions The nonoriginal asphaltic shingle roof is also proposed to be

replaced with a matching roof material and style 6

The location anchor rods will be mostly penetrate through the brick mortar joints in order to minimize

impacts to the brick 49

While unlikely the plates could be removed and the brick repaired or replaced 106 Review Criteria The proposed need to be compatible with the historic characteristics of the area and with

the existing structure in massing size scale materials and architectural features The proposed seismic

upgrades were designed to minimize the visual impact to the building The metal plates are small in scaleand will be finished in the same color as the brick in order to be compatible with the brick fagade

CONCLUSIONS

1 The proposed alterations to the Raw Water Plant building are the minimum necessary to accomplish the

goals ofimproved safety and structural stability

2 The proposed method offinishing the metal plates and their small size will be hard to detect and will not

alter the historic character of the building

City ofAlbany Historic Review Criteria response

Exterior Alteration Proposal for Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Pumping Plant Building

Proposal1 The existing nonoriginal asphalt shingle roof is to be replaced by a new asphalt shingle roof All

details and flashing are to be visually identical to the existing roof

At the front Vine Street elevation of the building a number of metal plates each approximately6 in diameter and 58inch thick are to be located approximately 8 inches below the top of the

brick seephoto 3 and details 2 and 94 sheet HB31 These plates anchor tierods through the

wail of the building and are a part of the seismic upgrade to this unreinforced brick structure The

anchors work to tie the roofto the walls at the perimeter of the building The plates are to be

finished with a factoryappliednonglossy paint finish to match the red brick The plates specifiedwill be centerbeveled so as to allow for inset bolts Four other plates areproposed only as an

option At this time it appears that these connections will be sufficient as epoxy anchors that

terminate inside the wall without exterior plates or visible alterations If necessary these plateswould be located in the field of the wall vertically located on center between the three wall

openings The height of these would be as shown on photographs 2 and 3one set just belowthe door head and the other set just above the panels

3 At the rear west elevation of the building similar exterior anchor plates are to be located

approximately 8 inches below the top of the brick wall see photo 7 for approximate location

Four other plates may be necessary in the field of the wall at locations indicated onphoto 7At

this time it appears that these four connections will be sufficient as epoxy anchors that terminate

inside the wall without exterior plates or visible alterations

4 At the south side of the building similar exterior anchor plates are to be located approximately 8

inches below the top of the brick wall See elevation diagram on HB 22and photo 96 Three other

plates may be necessary in the field of the wall at six to eight feet oncenter as shown and noted

unlikely on the elevation At this time it appears that these connections will be sufficient as

epoxy anchors that terminate inside the wall without exterior plates or visible alterations

5 There is a low probability that an interior frame will be added to the building or that the east

front wall will receive interior shotcrete in any event these items would not be visible from the

exterior Any interior system utilized will be set back from windows to ensure no visibility from

the exterior

Subject Historic review criteria response

Project RWPP Albany Water Treatment Plant

Date July 10 2009

ResponseThe proposal meets criteria 2 and is compatible with the resource and with the surrounding area for the

following reasons

The Raw Water Pumping Plant building is currently in use and has remained in continuous use

since its construction as part ofthe Power Plant generally located at Fourth and Vine The

alterations proposed will not change the buildingsfunctions The proposal therefore meets

Secretary ofthe Interior standard 1 A property shall be usedfor its historic purpose or be

placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the buildingand its site and environment

The addition of exterior plates at the front ofthe building will impact the appearance ofthe

building to a limited extent The visibility ofthe plates will be minimized by anonglossyfactoryapplied paint finish to match the color of the brick The fascia trimwill be removed and

replaced over the plates with painted shims at the underside to take up the depth ofthe plates If

the four optional plates are necessary in the field ofthe wall they will be situated away from the

buildingslimited architectural features Given the relatively small size ofthe anchor plates and

the distance ofthe front fagade some sixty feet back from the sidewalk these intrusions will not

have a significant impact on the historic character ofthe property The additions ofexterior platesat the side elevation and at the rear elevation will not be as visible due to these fagades beinghidden from the street While alterations at less visible fagades may impact the historic characterofa resource deemed to be eligible for individual listing on the National Register the proposalbuilding is deemed eligible for listing as a part ofthe Monteith Historic District These alterations

at side and rear therefore are ofslightly less concern in retaining the historic character ofthe

property The proposal meets Secretary ofthe Interior standard 2The historic character of a

property shall be retained andpreserved The removal ofhistoric material oralteration offeatures and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided

No architectural features or elements are to be added to the building The proposed alterations tothe building are recognizable as part ofa structural upgrade to the building and not as an additivedecorative or historic alteration The proposal therefore meets Secretary ofthe Interior Standard

3 Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time place and use Changesthat create afalse sense ofhistorical development such as adding conjecturalfeatures or

architectural elements from other buildings shall notbe undertaken

Changes to the building since its construction ca 1948 appear to be limited to interior systemsalterations though in 19992000 some exterior maintenance work was done This included are

roof ofthe building and repair and cleaning to brick walls and windows No changes have

therefore acquired historic significance Secretary ofthe Interior Standard 4Most propertieschange over time those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall

be retained and preserved is met

With the exception ofthe two one long one shorter overthe door brick panels on the front

fagade the buildings brickwork is relatively utilitarian The proposed structural shoring will bevisible on the rear south side and front ofthe building These exterior elements have not beenlocated primarily by visual or proportional decisions but their placement has taken into

consideration the location of the buildingswindows and doors and the existing panel motif above

these openings The fascia trim on each wall which is appropriate in size and scale for the small

building will be replaced over the topofwallanchors rather than attempting a new deeper fasciato cover the plates entirely The proposal meets Secretary ofthe Interior Standard 5 Distinctive

features finishes and construction techniques orexamples ofcraftsmanship that characterize a

historic property shall bepreserved

Secretary ofthe Interior Standard b Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than

replaced Where the severity ofdeterioration requires replacement of a distinctivefeature the new

feature shall match the old in design color texture and other visual qualities and where

possible materials Replacement ofmissingfeatures shall be substantiated by documentaryphysical orpictorial evidence The proposal does retain and replace the fascia boards impactedby the seismic anchors At the roof the replacement will visually match the existing nonoriginalasphaltic shingle roofand roof details No other building feature is impacted by the proposal Thisstandard is met

The building exterior is notproposed to be cleaned as part of this proposal The proposal therefore

meets Secretary ofthe Interior Standard 7Chemical ofphysical treatments such as

sandblasting that cause damage to historic material shall notbe used The surface cleaning ofstructures ifappropriate shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible

No archaeological resources are likely to be revealed in the process of implementing the seismic

upgrade tothe building since no foundation work is included The proposal meets Secretary of the

Interior Standard 8Significant archaeological resources affected by a project shall be

protected andpreserved Ifsuch resources must be disturbed mitigation measures shall be

undertaken

Secretary of the Interior Standard 9 states New additions exterior alterations or related new

construction shall notdestroy historic materials that characterize the property The new work

shall be differentiated from the o14 and shall be compatible with the massing size scale and

architecturalfeatures to protect the historic integrity ofthe property and its environment The

proposal will create a series of penetrations through the front side and rear brick walls Thediameter of the anchor rods is inch so it is not possible to keep the penetrations at brick jointswithout impacting a brick however the penetrations will occur as much as possible through a

jointwith minimal brick loss Both mortar and bricks can be replaced as needed should the platesand anchors be removed in future Be steel plates would notbe mistaken for historic elementsthey are clearly modern interventions for a specific structural purpose These elements howeverhave been visually minimized and are compatible in scale with this onestory structure

Secretary of the Interior Standard 10New additions and adjacent orrelated new constructionshall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future the essentialform and integrityofthe historic property and its environment would be unimpaired The throughwallanchorplates could be removed in fixture and penetrations repaired or bricks replaced at some locations

The essential form and integrity of the structure will not be damaged The overall result of the

proposal will be to give the building a longer life and avoid serious damage in the event ofan

earthquake This standard is therefore met

Description

1 2 3 story buildings brick walls concrete foundations and flat and gableroofs

The present twin gable structure at the north end of the block where the Willamette

Calapooia Rivers meet is on the site of the original power plant The present

structures were built sometime between 1908 and 1925 The original covered flume

connecting to the LebanonAlbany Canal is intact

South of the power house is the substation with cast stone lintels and sills at

windows and other cast stone trim At the second story is a corbeled stringcourse above which are 3 bays framed with simple brick pilasters each with a

window and brick panel above

The corner structure is the filtration plant Second story windows have cast

stone sills and lintels and brick panels above The roof line is defined by a

cast stone string course above are gabled parapets with cast stone copings

Typical original windows in the filtration plant are doublehung wood sashtwo lights over two The substation has 24 light fixed steel sash power plant

was similar with 16 light windows

Alterations several windows altered cornice removed from the substation

Some brick needs repointing cast stone copings need repair wood sash needs paint

Remarks The style is condition good

Historical Comments These buildings are shown on the 1908 and 1925 Sanborn MapsIn 1908 the Oregon Power Company erected a brick generating facility on the banks

of the Calapooia River where it enters the Willamette River This was later

enlarged into a complex of structures by Mountain States Power Company The

Santiam Canal which once generated electricity at this site still runs by the

buildings

FINTTNCTS

Background History The subject property is a historiccontributing resource in the Monteith National

Register District in the newly added expansion area The survey indicates this house is a c 1890 QueenAnne Staff research ofthe Sanborn maps indicates the house was not in this location in 1925 but does

appear on the 1949 update to the 1925 maps The 1949 foot print of the house is quite different than the

existing footprint so its very possible that this house was moved to this site after 1949 The house has

oneoveronewindows and first floor bay window There is a frontfacing gable dormer with cedar shakes

on the second floor The house has been substantially altered over the years including wide press board

siding installed in the 1970s new front door concrete porch stairs and rebuilt porch a 1950s era back

2 Proposed New Construction The owners propose to construct a twostory accessory building that is 16feet deep by 24 feet wide The building would be located 5 feet from the side and back property lines in

the northwest corner behind the house See the x on the map above The building will not be readilyvisible from the street The building would be used as a workshop and an art studio on the second floor

See the attached applicant information

3 Location The proposed new accessory structure is located at the back of the property to be as invisible as

possible from the street and to maximize the use of the yard The building is not being used as a garageand it is not necessary to maintain the setbacks and orientation to the street as the house or a new detached

garage may require There are other accessory buildings in the near vicinity that are located in the back

yards This criterion is satisfied


4 Size and Scale The new building is proposed to be approximately 25 feet to the top of the roof The

house is one and ahalfstories and is approximately 27 feet to the top ofthe roof The house on the east is

twostory and is about 25 feet tall Also there are twostory duplexes on the corner ofCalapooia Street

5 The scale ofthe building is broken up by window and door openings on all sides and both levels A gabledormer is also proposed in the north roofline

6 Design and Craftsmanship The design is a simpletwostory structure with a gable roof The siding would

be Hardie plank in a shiplap design with a 6 and 34 inch exposure Note the owners would like to

eventually reside the house with this siding and selected this style to be compatible with other QueenAnne homes Salvage twoovertwo windows are proposed for the whole building and 36inchwide

salvage doors are proposed for the northfront side See photographs in the applicant information ignorethe design details ofdoors and windows in the drawingsThe second story is proposed to be accessed

from an outside stair with a simple stair design A carriagestylegarage door is proposed for the west sidealthough the building will not store vehicles A gable roof dormer is proposed on the north side with cedar

shingles to be compatible with the house dormer design

The proposed twoovertwo windows and the doors are more consistent with 1930s and 1940s stylesHowever accessory structures often used salvage materials from different time periods and have a

Vernacular mix ofelements to them

8 Secretary of InteriorsStandards Evaluation

The new building will replace two existing accessory structures that are new and not compatible with

the historic character ofthe neighborhood 2

The location of the new building is likely far enough away from the Santiam Canal and the location

of other significant archaeological remains typically located near riverbanks If archeologicalresources are found in construction they shall be protected and preserved If such resources must be

disturbed mitigation measures shall be undertaken 8

The proposed building will use new and salvage materials The cement siding and new carriagestylegarage door will indicate the building is new The new building will be compatible in height with

other buildings in the neighborhood 9

The new building is a detached structure that could be removed without affecting the historic house

on the property 10

CONCLUSIONS

1 The proposed project is compatible in location to other accessory nongarage buildings in the area

2 The new building will not be any taller than the existing house on the property and other twostorybuildings in the same block

3 The new building is designed with materials and details to be compatible with the historic characteristics

commonly found on historic accessory buildings and to be compatible with the main house

4 The new building will not be easily visible from the street

Materials List for Historic ShopFoundation The foundation will be a unislab with an 8x 24 footing The footing will be reinforced

with 38 rebar and steel mesh The concrete will have a smooth finish with stress cuts made every

eight feet

Framing The building will be framed using 2x6for wallswith an engineered floor joist 16 on center

The subflooring will be 58 plywood glued to the joists then attached using a metal fastener The

exterior will have three layers the first is a layer of 58 inch plywood for structural support the second

will be a breathable membrane allowing air circulation and the third will be the Hardiplanksiding

Siding The siding on our house is a form of press board that was put on about twenty years ago We

think this siding is not appropriate given the time period it wasmanufactured The siding we feel best

suits this project is a siding provided by James Hardi and consists of a cement fiber composite The

Colonial Roughsawn Hardiplank is available in a ship lap design with a 6 34 exposure After lookingat some historic Queen Anne homes in the Monteith area we have decided to use this specific sidingOur house also contains some cedar shake siding which we have chosen to incorporate in the shop as

well The shakes will be half round notched panels with an exposure the same as the house about 6The trim around the windows of the house is a type of brick mold which seems to still be available at

most hardware stores and will be purchased as needed

Windows The windows for the shop are the largest hurdle to overcome due to the fact that we cannot

start construction on the building without them We have been looking all around to find double hungwindows that match the house So far we have found about eight windows which dontmatch and

need some TLC but will work great The window frames will be built out of fir and will be glued with

Tight Bond III then fastened with metal fasteners I have a great appreciation for the builders in the

early years a lot of skill was needed to frame and hang windows without power tools I have spent some

time researching the methods used for hanging windows so it will be nice to finally put myself to the

test

Floor separating trim This piece of trim is designed to break up the massive exterior walls by creating a

separation between them This piece I am unsure about because it seems like every house is different

Doors The doors we plan to use will be two regular doors that we salvaged out of Eugenesfirst highschool The doors are repainted but have original hardware so they should blend right in The only door

that will have to be ordered is the main roll up door This will be an insulated roll up door that appears

to be carriage doors from the exterior and we will paint this to match the building

were trying to bring out on

would hope that our shopevokes the same emotion

The windows on our house are a

the inside The trim around the

window is a25 brick mold

which will be an easy match

This is a picture of a window being

will be replaced with new glass

This is a sample of the style ofwindows that we plan on usingThis is the top portionof the

double hung window the bottom

portion looks almost identical The

windows we purchased came

without frames so those will have

to be constructed after the glass is

resealed

The windows that we purchasedcame without frames or hardware

but the windows are in great shapeThe frames are going to be a little

tough to build but not impossible

This is an example ofone of the doors

that was savedfrom the original EugeneHigh School This Door is about 42 wide

which would be very nice for a shop The

glass on this door is textured which

would also add a nice element

This door was also salvaged out of the

old high school This door and the one

behind it came off an entry way We

have two doors like this so we hope to

use this style

NOTES

1 Build walls underneath the sideporch and overlay with siding to match the frontporch

2 We will also use the same siding below the stairs

3 The brown panels on the landing in the top photo are placeholderswe could create something more compatible with

existing historic structure

4 The building code will likely require less open area in railing as you descend the stairway for safety reasons

CALL TO ORDER

Chair Oscar Hult called the meeting to order at634pm

REHABILITATION GRANT OPEN HOUSE

Planner II Anne Catlin stated that she received5000 from the State Historic Preservation Office SHPOfor the residential rehabilitation matching grant program this year Because the funds are from the state

grant can only go to properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places The funds are for

exterior work only and must meet the Secretary ofInterior standards

The kinds ofprojects that score well with the program and their funding priority weredescribed

The first priority projects are those that remove incompatible features andor restore missing or

altered features on the front fagade Catlin noted a few examples restoring a missing porch and

replacing aluminum or vinyl windows on the front fagade with wood windows

Projects that restore missing oraltered historic features on the side facades will be given second

priorityThird priority projects are those that repair or replace deteriorated historic features visible from

the street or maintenance projects that preserve the integrity and safety ofa home

Catlin said the primary goal is to fund needed projects that will make a visible difference She commented

that although maintenance was an important category it did not have the same visual impact as restoringmissing or altered features

Catlin stated that the applications are due Monday April 20 2009 She saidthat the Landmarks AdvisoryCommission would meet and then the applicants would know late April or early May of grant awards A

scoring sheet is used to rank the projects Projects may be subject to submitting a Historic Review

application and may require building permits The funds cannot be for tools or sweat equity but sweat

equity can be used towards the match as long as the sweat equity is not more than half of the total cost

She said that digital before and after photographs are required Projects have to be done by August 242009

Albany Landmarks Advisory Commission

any good historical photographs They have 1970s press board siding that they would like to remove and

asked ifHardie plank cement siding would be acceptable

Hult stated that approval for the use of substitute materials for siding would depend on their applicationand location

Commissioner Herd suggested reviewing the Robert Potts collection of photographs at the Albany

Regional Museum

CALL TO ORDER

Chair Oscar Hult called the meeting to order at 640pm

REVIEW OF RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION GRANT APPLICATIONS

Hult suggested that the Landmarks Advisory Commission go through each application individually and

look at the proposal and then allocate the points Commissioner Keeney suggested that Planner II Anne

Catlin explain each project

Catlin referring to Exhibit A went through each individual application She reminded them that some of

the applications would require historic review

640 4th Avenue SW This house had a project last year to remove asbestos siding The owners would

like to remove the multilitewindow and restore the original windows to the front fagade Also there are

some structural issues with the sleeping porch that they would like to fix Catlin noted that it fits into the

first priority which is to remove incompatible features

208 6th Avenue SE Catlin commented that the newel posts are damaged or missing on the front and side

porch stairs The owner plans to have them remade and also repair and replace the front and side stairs to

the porch

707 Broadalbin Street SW The applicant wants to replace the damaged front stairs with appropriate stair

treads The applicants are asking for half the price ofmaterials 355

632 Baker Street SE The applicant wants to rebuild deteriorated front stairs

817 Ferry Street SW This front porch stairs project would restore missing balusters railings and newel

posts

418 7th Avenue SW The owners have submitted two applications One project is to replace deteriorated

nonoriginal basement windows with new wood windows that would open and close well and offer better



energy efficiency The applicants second project is to rebuild their failing chimney She commented that

because of the failing chimney the applicants had carbon monoxide poisoning

825 10th Avenue SW Last year the applicants replaced vinyl windows with wood windows They also

removed a carport Catlin stated that the applicants have concrete stairs that they would like to replacewith appropriate wood stairs Hult reminded that the applicants had already gone through historic review

to replace the stairs

524 Baker Street SE This is a Bungalow with asbestos siding This project has an attached garage and a

front door that is not original Catlin said the applicants want to replace the metal garage door with a

carriagestyle garage door and replace the front door with a Craftsman style front door The applicantplans to match what the original opening was based on the inside and outside trim

516 Elm Street SW The applicants would like to replace eight porch posts The applicant submitted

pictures but it was unclear ofwhat the pictures were ofand how many posts were in need ofrepair

Commissioner Herd recommended that for future applications that there is a caption on the photossubmitted

Hult did not believe all the posts needed to be replaced Discussion followed as to what posts the

applicant was referring to A decision was made to ask the applicant for more details regarding the

project

526 11th Avenue SW The applicants would like to replace their aluminum storm windows on the front

fagade with interior storm windows Herd advocated against replacing all the original glass with low e

glass Catlin explained that the applicant says the old glass is foggy and difficult to clean

Catlin reviewed the priorities for the grants The first priority is removing incompatible features or

restoring missing or altered historic features on the front fagade The second is the same as the first except

it is on the side facades The third priority would be repair or maintenance projects The fourth is for

projects that will have a positive influence on the neighborhood She noted other considerations for extra

points would be visual impact and project need

Commissioner Overman asked Catlin if there were any houses that stood out as being a project that would

The LAC discussed and allocated points to the individual projects See Agenda file for the final pointsand grant amounts

Hult stated that it is great to give as many people as possible grant money however he cautioned against

awarding small amounts as he was concerned projects may not be completed Herd used an example ofa

person asking for1000 and only receiving a 100 would not be encouraging An option to think about

next year would be using a percentage scale

Keeney asked if any money from Housing and Urban Development Department HUD could be used

Catlin explained that the City had very little Community Development Block Grant funds and they were

currently allocated for affordable housing projects HUD money is also affordable housing related and is

competitive She explained that this yearsgrant money came from State Historic Preservation Office

DESCRIPTION

The Monteith Historic District including the expansion area is located in the western portion of downtown

Albany Oregon The primary type of development represented in the District is residential built between 1849

and 1945 In general the pattern of development is one and twostory wood houses on 110 by 67 lots

though many lots in the area are larger City blocks in this area are typically 220 by 260 The district also

includes nonresidential buildings such as the Carnegie Library Central Public School and the Whitespireschurch A power plant supplying drinking water as well as hydroelectric power for the city and for outlying

regions is also within the district as are portions of the Santiam Canal along Eighth and Vine Streets

SIGNIFICANCE

The originallynominated Monteith Historic District is significant in the areas of agriculture architecture

education engineering exploration settlement industry politics government and in transportation The

expanded areas of the district are significant in the areas of architecture and in community planning and

development

The period of significance for the District was 18491915 and later extended to 1945 The original Districts

historic significance is summarized as follows

Agriculture In the 1870sAlbany was served by two railroads and was a central trading hub for

farmers and loggers in Linn Benton and Polk Counties Many of the families associated with

agriculture at this time built homes in the area now called the Monteith District

Architecture Consisting primarily of one and twostory wood residences the District possesses a very

high concentration number and quality of architectural styles represented within the Victorian and

TurnoftheCentury eras These include Gothic Revival Italianate Queen Anne and many others

The residences in the originally nominated district for the most part were built between 1849 and

1915 Many of the homes have retained original landscaping patterns and trees as originally planted at

the time of development

Education The Central School House 1855 was the first public building erected in Albany The

Albany Academy was established in 1854 This institution later was renamed Albany College which

eventually moved its campus to Portland to become Lewis and Clark

Engineering The Santiam Canal was built by Chinese laborers in 1873 originally as a navigationalchannel between Albany and Lebanon When water currents were found to be too swift for this use the

Canal was used by the Albany flour mills wood mills and foundries The Canal remains open along

portions of Eighth and Vine Streets in the Historic District

Exploration Settlement The area wasoriginally settled by Walter and Thomas Monteith in 1848

Their log cabin was built on the corner of Washington and Second Streets and they built the first frame

house in Albany in 1849 Many of the areas earliest settlers followed the gold rush to California

Industry The Monteiths built the first flour mill in the area in 1851 Due to Albanys location at the

confluence of riverways and rail lines and with available raw materials markets and other conditions

industry developed rapidly Many factory owners and businessmen located their homes in what is now

the Historic District

Politics Government Albany was not incorporated until 1864 due to constant political battles between

two factions the Monteiths on the west side Republican and the Hacklemans on the east side

Democrat

Religion Albany is the point of origin of the United Presbyterian Church which was formed when the

Associated Reformed Presbyterian Church and the Associated Presbyterian Church combined in 1853Their first building was removed to make way for the Whitespires church structure in 1891 located atFifth and Washington The Westminster stone church was built by the First Presbyterians in 1913though their first church was constructed in 1876 By 1878 the west side of Albany for the most partthe Historic District had seven major churches

Transportation A horsecar line was started along Lyon Street in the late 1890s from the railroad depotto First Street This horsecar line wassoon converted to an electric trolley line Albanys centrallocation in the state combined with its rail and river frontage enabled it to be the transportation centerof the valley

The expansion area of the District is significant under National Register Criteria A and C in the areas of

community planning and development and for its association with the growth and development of Albany as

well as the development of the dominant architectural styles including the Bungalow Craftsman Period

DESCRIPTION

The Raw Water Pumping Plant building a onestory brick building is a functioning part of AlbanysWater Treatment Plant

located at 300 Vine Street SW in Albany The plant provides drinking water for most areas of the City of Albany drawing

from the 18mileSantiamAlbany Canal which in turn draws from the Santiam River The plant has historically provided

hydroelectric power to the region as well and was owned by Pacific Power Light prior to its sale to the City of Albany in

1984

The Water Treatment and Power Plant initially consisted of a Power House shown on the 1908 Sanborn Fire Map and

Substation and Filtration Plant buildings shown on the 1925 Sanborn Fire Map as being constructed respectively in 1911

and 1912 A small repair shop building appears on the 1925 Sanborn Fire Map in the approximate location of the current

Raw Water pumping plant building but the shop structure was evidently removed sometime prior to 1949 The 19251949

Sanborn Fire Map does not yet show the existing Raw Water Pumping Plant building but construction drawings for the

building are dated 1948 The complex is named Mountain States Power Co Pumping Station Sub Station on the 1925

1949 Sanborn Map though the earliest buildings were constructed by the Oregon Power Company

The Raw Water Pumping Plant building shares a common wall with the Control building to its north The onestory building

has a gable roof and faces Vine Street though it is set back from the street by approximately 60 feet In plan it is roughly

27 feet by 33 feet Inside the building has a partial mezzanine level on three sides of the building about 8 feet wide and a

partial basement level 14 feet below grade The floor at ground level is concrete slabongradeand structural slab the

basement floor is concrete slabongradeThe front elevation is very simple and planar with one wood door and two

windows Two decorative brick panels are located above these openings Windows are similar to those at the Control

building and are15light steel sash with cast stone lintels and sills Control building windows are divided into 16 lightswith more vertically proportioned panes The two front windows have the lower section fixed and the upper section

horizontally center hung Atthe rear fagade there are no openings but a single solid wood door approximately4 feet

above grade with a metal stair and platform Though the construction drawing front elevation shows 20lightwindows the

existing windows appear to be original

EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS

Substantial interior and systems work was done in 1972 As a part of this very minor exterior alterations or penetrations

may have occurred Similarly in 1990 mechanical and electrical work was done inside the building which may have had

some limited exterior impacts Reroofing of the building was done ca 1999 In 2000 an exterior restoration was done to

the Control building and attached Raw Water Pumping building The scope of work included exterior brick repair and re

pointing where needed brick surface sealing and windowremortaring repair and repainting

SIGNIFICANCE

The Raw Water Pumping Plant building is unlikely to be eligible for listing on the National Register as an individual

resource Its materials and unassuming detailing emulates that of the earlier Control Building so the building does not offer

any new architectural contributions as a representative structure of its time The functionality of the building is also

inseparable from that of its surrounding grouping The building does appear to be eligible for listing however as a part of

the Monteith Historic District if the date of significance is expanded

INTRODUCTION

This statement of finding discusses the effect of the proposed project on the Raw Water Pumping Plant

building a resource considered eligible for listing as contributing to the Monteith Historic District in AlbanyOregon It is the preliminary finding of the City of Albany in concurrence with Creegan DAngelo Engineersand Peter Meijer Architect PC that the proposed project will have an effect on the eligible resource and the

effect is adverse

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project proposes to structurally upgrade the existing onestory unreinforced brick building in order to

increaselifesafety performance for the building in seismic events The retrofit would allow the building to

generally conform to current structural building codes 1997 UBC The proposed alterations include

Reroofing the building in order to facilitate diaphragm strengthening via the addition of panelizedsheathing The finished roof is proposed to be asphaltic shingle with all materials and details replacedin kind No visual changes will therefore be apparent as a result of thereroofing see image 9

At the front Vine Street elevation of the building a number of metal plates each approximately 6 in

diameter and 58 inch thick are to be located approximately 8 inches below the top of the brick seeimage 45and 6 These plates anchor tierods through the wall of the building and are a part of

the seismic upgrade to this unreinforced brick structure The anchors work to tie the roof to the walls

at the perimeter of the building The plates are to be finished with a factoryappliednonglossy paintfinish to match the red brick The plates specified will be centerbeveled so as to allow for inset bolts

Four other plates are proposed only as an option At this time it appears that these connections will be

sufficient as epoxy anchors that terminate inside the wall without exterior plates or visible alterationsIf necessary these plates would be located in the field of the wall vertically located on center between

the three wall openings The height of these would be as shown on image 6one set just below the

door head and the other set just above the panels

At the rear west elevation of the building similar exterior anchor plates are to be located

approximately 8 inches below the top of the brick wall see image 8 for approximate location Four

other plates may be necessary in the field of the wall at locations indicated on image 8 At this time it

appears that these four connections will be sufficient as epoxy anchors that terminate inside the wall

without exterior plates or visible alterations

At the south side of the building similar exterior anchor plates are to be located approximately 8

inches below the top of the brick wall See elevation diagram image 7 Three other plates may be

RFCT10N InR LEVEL OF EFFECT FORM

necessary in the field of the wall at six to eight feet on center as shown and noted unlikely on the

elevation At this time it appears that these connections will be sufficient as epoxy anchors that

terminate inside the wall without exterior plates or visible alterations

There is a low probability that an interior frame will be added to the building or that the east frontwall will receive interior shotcrete in any event these items would not be visible from the exterior Anyinterior system utilized will be set back from windows to ensure no visibility from the exterior

At each of the walls where the plates are to be added near the top of the brick plane the whitepainted wood

fascia will be removed and replaced over the plates with painted shims taking up the depth of the plates

Although preliminarily one idea was to construct new deeper fascia boards to cover up the plates in their

entirety the resulting fascia boards would be proportionally too large for the small building and would also

begin to create a false sense of historical development Accordingly the existing fascia boards are proposedto remain See image 5detail 2

Anchor rods penetrating the walls will be 3 inches in diameter which is too large to be taken up entirely within

a brick joint In general the goal will be to keep the overall pattern of plates regularized with a similar distance

between each and a similar distance between the plate and the top of the wall For this reason each local

penetration will be made without regard to jointing pattern since moving the penetrations to affect only one

brick could result in noticeable misalignments

IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE HISTORIC RESOURCE

The Raw Water Pumping Plant is part of the Vine Street Water Treatment Plant one of two treatment plants

providing potable water to the City of Albany and its environs The plant was originally constructed in the early1900sand consisted of two settling basins and six filter beds It appears that the Control Building a onestory

doublegabled brick structure was constructed at this time Additions were made to the Control building ca

1912 and 1927 An insulated and separately roofed concrete masonry unit structure was later built within the

envelope of the Control building Other buildings at the Treatment Plant dating from about 1912 include the

twostory unreinforced brick Soda Ash building and the threestory unreinforced brick and reinforced concrete

Old Filter building These three buildings are referred to as Primary contributing in the Monteith Historic

District nomination in Block6Section 7p18The Control building is described as a twin gable structure at

the north end of the block where the Willamette and Calapooia Rivers meet and is also referred to as the

power house South of that is the substation with cast stone lintels and sillsIt is noted as two stories in

height Finally the corner structure is the filtration plant the threestory structure

The Raw Water Pumping Plant building shares a common wall with the Control building to its north The one

story building has a gable roof and faces Vine Street though it is set back from the street by approximately 60

feet In plan it is roughly 27 feet by 33 feet Inside the building has a partial mezzanine level on three sides of

the building about 8 feet wide and a partial basement level 14 feet below grade The construction drawings of

the building are dated 1948 The front elevation is very simple and planar with one door and two windows

Two decorative brick panels are located above these openings Windows are similar to those at the Control

building and are 15light steel sash with cast stone lintels and sills

AVOIDANCE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

Because the Raw Water Pumping Plant building has been determined to be potentially eligible for inclusion in

the Monteith Historic District every attempt was made by the structural engineers to find a solution which did

not impact the exterior of the building or at least the front fagade of the building However the relatively thin

unreinforced walls of the existing structure made such a solution impossible The International Existing BuildingCode provides design values for anchors epoxied in walls stopping short of the front face for a minimum of 8

inches of embedment and manufacturers of epoxy anchors provide design values starting with 13 inches as a

minimum The conclusion of the engineering team and of the City of Albany is that any solution providing the

required seismic capacity will necessarily impact the exterior of the building since throughbolting is the only

way to provide adequate anchoring strength

Design strategies studied in seismic evaluations of the building included utilizing interior steel framing andor

shotcrete shearwall against the interior of existing brick walls note that these may still be needed in limited

capacity but do not address the roofwall connections which are extremely vulnerable and utilizing a field of

epoxied connections into the front wall these would all have to transfer up to a number of connection points

106 Level of EffectRev 0803


SECTION 106 LEVEL OF EFFECT FORMalong the roof seriously impacting the interior space of the building and still not adequately anchoring alongthe lines of stress

EVALUATION OF EFFECTS

The proposed project will impact the subject property by altering the front facade of the building The work

proposed is small in scale and will not affect the overall impression of the building from the street The

buildings historic integrity will not be affected in terms of its location setting materials workmanship feelingor association The work is also additive rather than reductive so the alterations could be removed and the

penetrations repaired in the future The roof replacement will not have an effect on the building since the roofmaterials and details as currently in place will be replaced in kind

However the added plates will be visible from the street despite their finish These elements will clearly be of

a more modern time period than the building and they will to some extent detract from the appearance of the

building and affect the integrity of the buildings design For this reason the work has been determined by the

City of Albany Creegan DAngelo Engineers and Peter Meijer Architect PC to have an adverse effect on the

building

The additions would not likely be immediately apparent to the casual observer due to their limited size andtheir finish to match the color of the existing brick The front facade is also located some 60 feet away from thesidewalk The alterations do not affect the primary characterdefining features of the building For thesereasons the building remains potentially eligible for inclusion in the Monteith Historic District

COORDINATION AND PUBLIC NOTIFICATION

The City of Albany has determined that a Historic Review is necessary for the exterior alterations proposed tothe building due to the fact that it shares a common wall with the Control Building a contributing structure inthe Monteith Historic District The process for the Citys review includes mailing of the proposal to owners of

property within 100 feet of the site and also allows for an opportunity for public comment

CONCLUSION

It is the determination of the City of Albany Creegan DAngelo Engineers and Peter Meijer Architect PC thatthe proposed project has an effect on the potentially eligible Raw Water Pumping Plant building and that theeffect is adverse according to the criteria set forth by the National Parks Service in 36 CFR 8005
