July 8, 2019
Submitted to the City of Black River Falls by: Jean L. Guarino, Ph.D., Principal Guarino Historic Resources Documentation 844 Home Ave., Oak Park, IL 60304 [email protected] I. INTRODUCTION
This proposal was developed in response to a Request for Proposal by the City of Black River Falls for completion of a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Black River Falls Commercial District. Jean Guarino, Ph.D. (consultant) has twenty-one years of experience in the documentation of cultural resources, which includes the preparation of National Register nominations for individual buildings and districts. She will serve as the sole preparer of the nomination, which will be completed within six months of the start date. All work will be developed in conformance to the requirements detailed in the manual found on the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) website.
II. SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Site Visit and Archival Research Consultant will make a site visit to the City of Black River Falls to take photographs of individual buildings and streetscapes in the commercial district and determine which buildings within its boundaries are "contributing" and "non-contributing" to the district. Consultant will meet with municipal planning staff, if appropriate, to discuss any documentation that may be on file in their office, such as building permits, historic city plans and maps. Research on the historical and architectural evolution of the commercial district within the context of Black River Falls will be undertaken at a variety of repositories, including the Jackson County Historical Society and the Black River Falls Public Library. Resources to be reviewed will include, but are not limited to, Sanborn Fire Insurance maps, atlas maps, historic photographs, contemporary newspaper articles, and local and county history books.
Task 2: Development of Narrative Description (Section 7) Consultant will develop a Narrative Description for the Black River Falls Commercial District, which will focus on its current appearance and date any physical changes over time. The location, boundaries, and general layout of the district will be discussed in detail, including its general lot sizes and building setbacks.
The Narrative Description will provide an overall description of the buildings situated within the district boundaries, discussing them in terms of their architectural styles and materials. Integrity issues will also be discussed, noting the number of demolitions and any new construction that may have occurred within the district, as well as typical alterations experienced by its commercial buildings, such as window, door, and storefront changes.
The Narrative Description section will include a table listing all buildings and structures within the commercial district, arranged by street address. All resources listed will include the circa date of construction, architect name (if known), architectural style, number of stories, materials, and contributing/non-contributing status.
2 GUARINO HISTORIC RESOURCES DOCUMENTATION l OAK PARK, ILLINOIS I 708.386.1142 l GUARINOL@GMAILCOM Task 3: Development of Narrative Statement of Significance (Section 8) The Narrative Statement of Significance will establish that the Black River Falls Commercial District is eligible for National Register listing under Criterion A for Commerce and possibly also for Criterion C for Architecture. Based on the research found, consultant will develop two to three scholarly essays.
The first essay will discuss the historical and architectural evolution of the commercial district within the larger history of the City of Black River Falls. A second essay will discuss the architecture of the commercial district, showing that its buildings exemplify distinctive characteristics of several architectural styles from the late nineteenth- through the early twentieth-centuries. Representative examples of each style within the district will be highlighted. If the architects of some of the buildings are identified, a third essay will provide information on their professional work in Wisconsin and elsewhere, if found.
Task 4: Compilation of Nomination and Editing In addition to researching and writing the narrative essays contained in Sections 7 and 8, consultant will complete all other portions of the nomination form, including the development of a photo key, a web summary, and a site map. Historic photographs of commercial buildings/streetscapes within the district will be scanned and inserted at the end of the nomination report. Consultant will edit the nomination based on comments received from WHS staff following submittal of the nomination package, which will include the following:
• One paper copy of the National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form (19-900) and one electronic copy saved onto a disc for the WHS.
• One paper copy of a 200-300 word summary of the importance of the district and one electronic copy saved onto a disc for the WHS.
• Two commercially printed sets of digitally produced images for submittal to the WHS.
• Archival discs with digital images will be prepared for the WHS (JPEG format) and the National Park Service (TIFF format).
Task 5: Provision of Mailing Labels Consultant will provide a complete list of all current property owners as listed in the land or tax records after the nomination is scheduled for the Review Board meeting. Three full sets of mailing labels on Avery 5160 or Avery 6161 will be submitted to the City of Black River Falls.
Task 6: Power point Presentation at Public Meeting Consultant will participate in an informational meeting hosted by the City of Black River Falls prior to the State Historic Preservation Review Board meeting. A formal presentation of the historic district will be given at that time.
3 GUARINO HISTORIC RESOURCES DOCUMENTATION j OAK PARK, ILLINOIS j 708.386.1142l [email protected] Task 7: Power point Presentation to Review Board Consultant will develop a twenty-minute PowerPoint presentation that highlights the reasons why the Black River Falls Commercial District is an excellent candidate for National Register listing.

Work involved site visits to photograph a total of 112 buildings that dated from the 1870s through the 1920s. Guarino undertook primary and secondary source research, wrote all aspects of the nomination, developed a table listing all buildings and their contributing/non-contributing status, and gave a 20-minute power point presentation to the Illinois Historic Sites Advisory Council in October 2017.
Commercial and Industrial Survey in Bloomington, Illinois, 2017-18 Dr. Guarino was hired by the City of Bloom.ington to undertake a survey of historic commercial and industrial buildings strung out along four nineteenth-century railroad lines. The goal was to evaluate these buildings for preservation planning purposes. Specifically, the intention was to identify the potential of commercial and industrial properties future local and/or federal landmark designation potential. Guarino photographed and developed survey data forms for 76 buildings and produced a report that included several historical context essays that involved intensive research. The report identified three potential National Register landmark districts and thirteen buildings that are potentially eligible for individual landmark status at the local level.
National Historic Landmark nomination, 2014-15 Dr. Guarino was hired by the Organization of American Historians to develop a National Historic Landmark nomination for the Illinois and Michigan Canal, a 97-mile waterway built 1836-48. The nomination involved intensive primary and secondary research to develop several lengthy, scholarly, footnoted essays. Included in the nomination were 150 canal-related buildings and structures located in different historic downtowns along its length, most of which were built in the late nineteenth-century. All resources were photographed and listed by address in a table that identified their contributing/non-contributing status.

"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, And let us think, as we lay stone on stone, That a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred Because our hands have touched them And that men will say as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, 'See! This our fathers did for us!'" John Ruskin, The Seven Lamps of Architecture,1849

A referendum passed in the fall of 2016 for renovations and additions to the Florence County Middle/High School building. Because more than one acre of land would be disturbed and the school was documented in the Wisconsin Historical Society's Architecture & History Inventory (AHI), the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) required that the property be evaluated for its eligibility for listing in the National Florence High School, Florence, WI Register of Historic Places as a part of its permitting review. The WDNR required a report that evaluated the project 's potential to adversely impact the resource, defined site limits and character relative to the areas impacted by project-related activities, and made recommendations for avoidance. Legacy Architecture visited the site, gathered data regarding the historic significance and integrity of the building, and prepared a Report of Investigations which was submitted to and approved by the WDNR.
TerX Shredding & Recycling Company purchased the former Brokaw Paper Mill in Brokaw, Wisconsin to use it as a scrap recycling facility and solid waste processing Brokaw Paper Mill historic photo, Brokaw, WI facility. They planned to demolish a portion of the historic mill that was not necessary for their operations. As more than one acre of land would be disturbed and the property was the site of two resources documented in the AHI, the mills complex and a church, the WDNR required that the property be evaluated for its eligibility for listing in the National Register and a Report of Investigations be submitted as a part of its permitting review. Legacy Architecture visited the site, gathered data regarding the historic significance and integrity of the buildings, and prepared a report which was submitted to and approved by the WDNR. The church was demolished sometime during the early 1980s, and the AHI was updated to indicate that. Due to its lack of Sheboygan, WI historic significance and architectural integrity, the mill was found to be not eligible for the National Register.
Through Community Development Block Grant monies from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, the City of Sheboygan offers low interest loans to help low or moderate income home owners or owners of residential rental property leased by tenants with low or moderate incomes to finance the maintenance and/or rehabilitation of their properties, thereby expanding the supply of adequate, safe housing within the city.

We recently conducted an assessment of the National Register listed Port Washington North Breakwater Light for the City of Port Washington as a requirement of the conveyance agreement with the federal government in accordance with the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act to ensure proper maintenance and care, advance greater public access and use, and more actively highlight its architectural significance and beauty as a part of the community's harbor landscape. The project included a Preservation and Maintenance Plan so future Port Washington North Breakwater Light, Port Washington preservation work would conform to the Secretary of the Interiors Standards.
In the Fall of 2010, we were hired by the City of De Pere to prepare a Historic Structures Report (HSR) and Economic Feasibility Study for the National Register listed Lockkeeper's House along the Fox River in De Pere, which is owned by the State of Wisconsin's Fox River Navigational System Authority as a first step in planning for the building's future. The HSR documented the developmental history of the building, including its significance, chronology of ownership, construction, alternations, and prior studies and treatment efforts. It gave an architectural description of Ny the exterior and interior conditions of the building and De Pere Lockkeeper's House, De Pere identified character-defining elements and features. A conditions assessment was made of the site, envelope, interiors, structure, plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. Ordinances, codes, and accessibility laws were reviewed. Paint and mortar analysis was performed. Detailed rehabilitation recommendations were made for each façade, room, and feature. Work items were then prioritized, and rehabilitation costs for each potential future use were developed. Maintenance recommendations were made for the interim until the building could become occupied.
In 2009, we were retained by the North Woods County Historical Society to work on an HSR for the for the Upham Mansion, Marshfield Upham Mansion, a historic house museum.

Schematic plans and elevations were developed for each use as a means to attract investors and prospective tenants. Finally, a realistic timeline was developed for architectural plans, securing rehabilitation funds, and construction completion.
We performed a Feasibility Study for the Renovation Oregon High School, Oregon and Reuse of the Oregon High School for the Village of Oregon's Historic Preservation Commission in 2003 in an effort to save the building from demolition and lay a foundation for the successful renovation and reuse of the building. The report included studies of the building exterior (including tuckpointing, window & door replacement, skylight replacement, roof replacement, and removal of later building additions) and the building interior (including the structural integrity, plumbing systems, mechanical systems & alternative energy applications, electrical systems, and the removal of asbestos). Since then, the building has been successfully rehabilitated as the headquarters for a nationwide urban housing developer. Background Experience & Capa bilities

Historic Preservation Plan City of Madison, Wisconsin
In 2017, Legacy Architecture was retained by the City of Madison to begin a two-year-long process to create Madison's first city-wide Historic Preservation Plan. To conduct the project, Legacy Architecture led a team of consultants including C.E. Planning Studio of Wauwatosa, for their urban planning and public participation expertise, and local historians Jason Tish and Timothy Heggland.
We began the project by attending the City's Racial Equity & Social Justice Initiative training and assisted City staff in developing a public engagement strategy to involve partners, identify community values, and generally guide the Historic Preservation Plan process in an equitable and inclusive manner.
Throughout early and mid-2018, we assisted city staff in facilitating a series of public meetings to educate and engage the public and city staff, seek input on the community's values, and solicit information on the influence of women and multi-cultural communities such as photographs, oral histories, and other primary source material. Based on public feedback, we developed Community Value Statements to direct the Historic Preservation Plan.
We conducted public meetings to identify existing and potential Implementation Tools and to develop and prioritize Goals and Objectives during late 2018.
We are currently developing a draft Implementation Strategy, identifying short-, mid-, and long-term action strategies, responsible parties, timing and deadlines, estimated cost, proposed source of funding, and public- private collaborations as well as how the plan is to be used, amended, and updated in the future. We will conduct future public meeting to provide information on and seek input from the public and city staff on the Implementation Strategy; then we will develop and draft the Historic Preservation Plan.
Later this year, we will conduct a final public meeting to provide information on and seek input from the public and city staff on the Historic Preservation Plan. We will then meet with the Landmarks Commission to present the draft Historic Preservation Plan and gather additional feedback before editing a final version of the plan to present for adoption by the City's Common Council.

Historic Preservation Ordinance Historic District Standards for Review City of Madison, Wisconsin
In 2017, Legacy Architecture was retained by the City of Madison to begin a two-year-long process to create Madison's first city-wide Historic Preservation Plan, including updates to the five local Historic Districts' Standards for Review sections of the city's Historic Preservation Ordinance. To conduct this portion of the project, Legacy Architecture led a team of consultants including local historian Jason Tisch.
We began that year by familiarizing ourselves with each of the five local historic districts, including gathering and reviewing the original designation documents, touring the districts, and photographing the successes and challenges that each district presents. We then researched and reviewed case studies of other communities Standards for Review.
Throughout 2018 and early 2019, we facilitated over 18 public meetings to discuss the issues with the existing ordinance Standards for Review and proposed ordinance revisions for review standards for each district. Meeting outcomes and findings were shared with City staff and made available to the public on the city project website for the public to evaluate and gauge progress.
We have recently finished analyzing community input and drafting recommended revisions to the Standards for Review. In the coming months, we will meet with the Ad Hoc Landmarks Ordinance Review Committee to present the draft recommendations, gather feedback, and edit the recommendations before meeting with the full Landmarks Commission to unveil the draft recommendations, gather additional feedback, and make a final version of the recommended revisions to the Standards for Review.
Final results will be presented to the Common Council for consideration of adoption later this year. Background Experience & Capabilities

Lorenzen Holdings, LLC & Petes Garage Green Bay, Wisconsin
We oversaw the adaptive reuse of the historic International Harvester Company buildings in Green Bay's popular Broadway-Walnut Historic District.
The 1936 one-story portion of the building historically housed a truck sales and service garage for International Harvester. During the 1980s, the interior was subdivided and completely covered with carpeting, drywall, and suspended acoustic tile ceilings. The building's original architectural elements were re- exposed to make way for Petes Garage, a 9,000 square foot bicycle and kayak shop, named after the owners' grandfather, with concrete floors and crisp new retail display fixtures and cabinetry. A mezzanine event and lounge space overlooks the sales floor from between lofty curved bowstring trusses that were unearthed during the renovation. The center of the sales floor is washed in daylight from two reconstructed skylights.
The 1913 three-story portion of the building historically housed an agricultural machinery warehouse and office space for International Harvester. The upper levels were vacant for decades. In order to stabilize the building, the leaking roof was addressed immediately, and the roof structure was reinforced. Plywood panels on the exterior of the windows were removed. Broken panes of glass were replaced, and the historic steel windows were restored. Code issues were then corrected by inserting accessible toilet rooms on each floor and building a small addition on the rear of the building for an accessible entrance, secondary exit stair, and elevator shaft. The building now houses a women's clothing boutique , restored historic office space, and a fitness studio.

101 West Main Street Waukesha, Wisconsin
The Old Waukesha County Courthouse is listed in the National Register and is comprised of a 1885 jailhouse, 1893 courthouse, and a 1938 addition that connected the two. The Waukesha County Museum has been housed in the building since it was established in 1913. After a new courthouse was constructed in 1959, the museum shared the facility with other offices until 1993. Since that time, the museum has remained the sole tenant, leaving large portions of the building vacant. We worked with a developer to rehabilitate the landmark into a mix of uses that will allow for continued operation of the museum on the first floor and basement levels and will develop the remainder of the complex into 30 private market-rate apartments, office suites, and a banquet and events facility. We completed both the architectural design and historic tax credit applications.

Mary Nohl Art Environment Fox Point, Wisconsin
Located on the Lake Michigan shore, the delightfully embellished home and sculpture garden of artist Mary Nohl is a magical art environment. Over sixty sculptures of concrete, glass, and stone populate the yard. Colorful panels of creatures and figures in profile adorn the homes exterior, while the interior contains thousands of works from a lifetime of tireless experimentation with nearly every conceivable media. In 1996, Mary began before the process of gifting her entire collection to the Kohler Foundation to ensure its preservation. By the time of her death in 2001 at the age of 87, knowledge of Nohl's extraordinary creation had traveled far beyond Wisconsin, and she had achieved international recognition, both as an artist and visionary. The property was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 for the national significance of Nohl and her art environment.
Due to the harsh lakefront environment, low quality of original construction, recent flooding, and other factors, the property was in desperate need of rehabilitation by 2015. We served as architect of record for the project, after construction, before art restoration which ended up requiring full reconstruction of the extensively deteriorated 1921 portion of the house and screen porch. The project included sitework to minimize the potential for future flooding, selective removal of trees that threatened the house and sculptures, wood siding repair, roof and window replacement, and upgrades to lighting, plumbing, mechanical systems. While not required, the Secretary of the Interior Standards for Rehabilitation guided the project.
Ongoing art conservation efforts were also begun at this time, including the stabilization of outdoor concrete sculptures and full restoration of the exterior decorative painting and art installations.

US HIGHWAY 51 RECONNAISSANCE SURVEY Dane County, Wisconsin
UWM-CRM conducted a reconnaissance level survey of historic properties along US Highway 51 and cross roads as part of a large scale corridor study in southeastern Dane County. The survey covered 195 historic properties, the majority of which were located in and around the City of Stoughton. As part of this investigation, UWM-CRM identified a number of properties as potentially eligible for National Register listing. The UWM-CRM team prepared 10 Determination of Eligibility reports for a variety of properties including historic tobacco farms, the Martin Luther Children's Home complex, a one-room school building, and residences exhibiting styles ranging from Italianate to Queen Anne to mid-century Ranch. As part of this investigation, UWM-CRM architectural historians photographed and evaluated all surveyed properties for National Register eligibility, created GIS mapping identifying surveyed properties and historic district boundaries, and created or updated Wisconsin Historic Preservation Database records. Survey methodology followed that outlined in the Wisconsin Historical Society's Architecture History Survey Manual. PROJECT SCOPE, METHODS & DELIVERABLES 10
PROJECT OVERVIEW The proposed project will consist of the preparation of a National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) nomination for the Downtown Commercial Historic District in the City of Black River Falls. The nomination will be prepared in accordance with the procedures outlined by the National Park Service (NPS) and the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
METHODOLOGY The project will be completed in several interconnected phases. At the outset of the project, UWM-CRM's lead architectural historian on the project will attend an introductory public information meeting scheduled by SHPO. Following this meeting, the initial stages of the project will consist of a site visit of all properties located within the proposed historic district in order to view the properties and complete photographic documentation of the buildings and their existing settings following NPS and Wisconsin SHPO standards. Following completion of the fieldwork portion of the project, our in-house GIS specialist will produce mapping showing the historic district boundaries and locations of contributing/noncontributing buildings, as well as required topographic maps with UTM coordinates.
The fieldwork phase of the project will be followed by detailed historical research relating to the development of the Downtown Commercial Historic District and focusing on contributing buildings within the District. Research will also focus on the significance of the District within appropriate architectural and historic contexts.
Archival research will be followed by the preparation of the narrative portions of the nomination as well as the assembly of supplemental documents required by the Wisconsin SHPO. UWM-CRM staff will also update or create WHPD records for each contributing and•noncontributing property as appropriate.
Upon completion, the nomination package will be submitted to the City of Black River Falls and the Wisconsin Historical Society for review. Any requested revisions will be made within the time frame specified by the City and the Wisconsin Historical Society. Following this review, UWM-CRM architectural historians will present the district nomination at the next available Historic Review Board meeting(s) and will attend any follow-up Public Information Meetings scheduled by SHPO.
