V. OLD BUSINESS / ACTION ITEMS

A. Holcombville School: status report and further action (if any).

Mr. Sandquist stated the Demolition by Neglect Ordinance is when the building owner has allowed the property to fall into a state of repair, where it creates a hazardous or unsafe condition as determined by the Department of Planning and Development or the Health Department. He stated he and Mr. Wallen, the Building Manger and Building Enforcement Manager, makes those kinds of inspections when our department is notified. He told the Commission that Mr. Wallen went out on the school inspection. Ms. Mack noted she received a letter from Judy Lovaas, with the scope of work for future masonry restoration of the school. Mr. Sandquist informed the Commission that he and Mr. Wallen would review that letter. Mr. Wallen said he was out on the site on a windy overcast day. It rained several days prior to that inspection.The structure was unoccupied, and there was no evidence of current or recent water infiltration. The paint peeling was of standard age. He stated the foundation is a cobblestone foundation and it had natural weathering and age deterioration. Some repair work has been done over the years, and all of the repairs are manageable.

Minutes Historic Preservation Commission June 7, 2017


He reported the foundation has sunk in, and where it had not sunk in, it was stable. There were fractures going up the wall in a wide pattern which is characteristic of general masonry structures. The walls were sound with the exception of the reaction they had from the foundation settling. There are missing bricks that would acquire attention. The electrical service on the building is falling off, and should be anchored at two points instead of one. The chimney, in its current condition, it is stabilized, but it is also being held together with retrofit turn buckles. Deconstruction and constructing that chimney would be advisable. The front stoop seems to have been modified. He explained it is a cold joint and the foundation wall is intact, however the platform has sunk toward the wall which brings water to the masonry. The interior wood floor has some level of bulging, but repairs to the foundation and walls that should help. the joist may need some attention. Mr. McConnel stated the owner is committed to spending the money to repair the school. Mr. Sandquist reminded the Commission that the property is in the Village of Bull Valley, and any permits would be issued through them. Mr. McConnell noted the Commission needs to give their consent to make sure they are using historical accurate materials because of the landmark status. It was noted, the owner will be sent a copy of Mr. Wallen's comments, and mention that she needs the Commission's approval before the work begins.

B. Coventry House: status report and further action (if any)

Mr. Sandquist mentioned he attended the Planning Environment and Development (PED) meeting. He stated the PED reviewed the HPC resolution regarding Coventry House, and they made some amendments to direct staff to conduct an inspection of the property, and report the findings to the HPC Commission and the County Board for discussion on any possible additional enforcement action. Mr. Sandquist stated staff can send a violation letter to the owner citing the hazardous structure, and instruct the owner to take action. County Board action would only be needed if the property owner ignored the letter and did not do the repairs. After discussion, Mr. Sandquist stated he will make every effort to have that inspection completed and Mr. Wallen's report back to the Commission before their next meeting.

C. Landmark Bus Tour planning: status and further action, including possible

appropriation of funding.

Ms. Reighns stated they have a potential source of busses through Familay Alliance. Ms. Reighns informed the Commission that she was getting married, and is moving out of the County. She did not know if she could be put on a subcommittee to continue working on the bus tour, because she does not want to quit halfway through. Mr. McConnell stated since there will not be a meeting in July, this may not have to be addressed for a few weeks. He mentioned she is welcome to continue participating in support of the tour, but the Commission may need to advertise a vacancy for her position in August.

Mr. Steven J. Greeley, Jr. McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission Department of Planning and Development 2200 North Seminary Ave. Woodstock, IL 60098

Dear Mr. Greeley,

Harboe A rchitects, PC 140 South Dearborn, Suite 306

Chicago, IL 60603

f'h: (J 12) 977-0333 r:ax: (312) 977-0334

1 am writing on behalf of Mr. Peter Janko who I understand is interested in serving on the McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission. I have known Pete a long time in relation to his business practice with Lumenelle. We have had many discussions about historic preservation and the importance of giving new life to old buildings in a way that allows the most important histotic aspects of the building read true while finding creative ways to make the building function better. I know Pete understands the issues at hand and believe his practical experiences would be a valuable asset to the Commission and the people of McHenry County. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss with me in any way, 1 can be reached at (312) 977-0333 ext. 1.

McHenry County Historic Preservation Commission June and July Report – Submitted by Gloria Mack

June 8, 2017 – I presented the framed Resolution commending McHenry Township for their

construction of a replica of the original signage and period appropriate fence at the Ostend Cemetery.

July 11, 2017 – I attended the Riley Township meeting. I informed them of the Immanuel Lutheran’s

desire to rid the church of ownership of the Barber Cemetery. One of the trustees informed us that 40

years ago a prominent Riley Township family bequeathed their land, which included the Riley Cemetery

to the Immanuel Lutheran Church. The church has sold the land, but the purchaser did not want the

cemetery. The Township board decided to look into ownership of the cemetery. I will attend the

August meeting. Note: The Barber Cemetery Landmark Plaque is hanging on the bulletin board in the

Riley Town Hall. (See attached)

Other Historic Activities:

June 10, 2017 – Served ice cream at the Powers Walker 1850’s Ice Cream Social. Over 100 people

attended.

The following are classes I took at McHenry County Colleges RAP (Retired Adults) program:

June 15, 2017 – A field trip to the Frank Lloyd Wright’s Laurent House. The Kenneth and Phyllis Laurent House in Rockford is the only building ever designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for a person with a disability. Kenneth Laurent was a WWII vet who was a paraplegic. The Laurent’s were common people and Wright changed some of his original designs to accommodate their income constraints. The house was occupied by the Laurent family from 1952 to 2012. As always, Wright insisted on his own furniture designs. I was so impressed that all the chairs were lowered so that when Kenneth talked to anyone he did not have to look up. This house was built prior to ADA. The pubic front of the house has small windows; however, the private back side of the house faces the woods and is all glass. In Kenneth Laurent’s own words, “This house lets me forget my disability and instead focus on my capabilities. That is the gift Mr. Wright gave me”. In later years Wright decided to acknowledge his best 35 designs. He considered the Laurent House one of the 35. He honored each of the 35 sites with a Red Tile. The Red Tile now graces the entrance. The home is now operated by a Foundation and is open for tours. (See attached)

June 29, 2017 – Archaeology of McHenry County. Steve Katz, Senior Archaeologist/Principal Investigator with Midwest Archaeological Research Services was the instructor. Mr. Katz, showed slides of the various areas in the County that he researched. The most interesting to me was the Powers/Walker House, a County Landmark. He showed slides of the house prior to its restoration and after its restoration. He also showed slides of the items found in the former privy. (See attached) Other sites shown were the Hawk’s Nest, McGraw Farm and McMillan Farmstead.

HPC 06/07/2017 July 10, 2017 – The Hudson River School Susan Langworthy, Art Historian, was our instructor. The first American Painters were students of the Hudson River School. In the mid 19th Century the American art movement was embodied by a group of landscape painters whose vision was influenced by the beauty of the American open lands. The founder of the Hudson River School was Thomas Cole. Others who painted the magnificence of the American Wilderness were Fredrick Church (Niagara) and Frederick Bierstadt’s (Yellowstone Falls).
