2. Members Absent: Scott Savel and Tom Krebsbach

3. Others Present: Rebecca Hunter, James Zorn

4. City Staff Present: Christen Sundquist, Historic Preservation Planner

B. Approval of Minutes: 1. A motion was made by Commissioner Rowe to approve the August 2, 2016 minutes with the following amendments: Commissioner Van Dusen has not completed her assigned photographs but only has half completed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Van Dusen. The motion passed 3‐0‐4 (4 abstentions: Bauer, Marston, Anderson, Thoren).

C. Recognize Persons Present: Rebecca Hunter, James Zorn. Chairman Wiedmeyer thanked Rebecca Hunter for all of her time and dedication that she has done while participating on the Heritage Commission.

D. Plaque applications: 1. 844 Brook Street – The plaque nomination received the following average scores: Historic Significance 8.04; Architectural Significance: 7.79; Current Maintenance: 9.04. A motion was made by Commissioner Thoren to approve awarding the plaque for the property with the inscription that would read H. & I. (Horace and Isadora) James, 1908. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bauer. The motion passed unanimously.

2. 31 N. Worth Avenue – Chairman Wiedmeyer stated that the architectural and historic significance description in the application were lacking and would like the applicant to provide more descriptive information about the characteristics seen on this home and more about the original owners. The Commission agreed that a more descriptive paragraph should be submitted as the information will be placed on the www.historicelgin.com website. Commissioner Van Dusen and Rebecca Hunter noted to the Owner, James Zorn, that they will help the owners rewrite their architectural and historic descriptions to fit the Heritage Commission’s requests. It was agreed to Elgin Heritage Commission: Minutes Page 2 September 6, 2016

withdraw the plaque application for review until the applicant provides a more descriptive paragraph on the architectural and historic significance of the home.

3. Replacement Plaques – Staff noted to the Heritage Commission that there are several owners who have contacted staff regarding their current plaques being damaged and/or unable to see the paint inscription about the property. Commissioner Rowe asked if the Heritage Commission charges for replacement of which, staff commented that owners are not charged an additional fee for replacement.

Commissioner Rowe noted his concern of using the Heritage Commission’s budget for replacement plaques due to the Heritage Commission’s minimal budget. Commissioner Thoren stated that replacement plaques are few and far between but since the budget is a major concern, then setting aside funds to budget for future plaque replacement may be wise. Chairman Wiedmeyer stated that if the plaque only has worn wording, than the plaque may be able to be reused.

Commissioner Van Dusen also noted that the Commission should have a de‐plaquing process as some buildings, that are not located in the Historic Districts, have completed insensitive changes to the exterior of the home that would not give the home high enough points to pass if they were to apply today for a plaque. The Commission agreed to look into this further. Staff stated it may be difficult, though, as this is an honorary program and those properties outside of the Historic Districts are not held up to the standards of those in the Historic Districts.

A motion was made by Commissioner Anderson to approve funding the replacement of the following plaques: 600 E. Chicago, 164 Lincoln Avenue, 1044 Augusta Avenue, 116 Hill Avenue. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Rowe. The motion passed unanimously.

Approved: Scoring Guidelines for Heritage Commission Plaque Applications

Introduction

The Elgin Heritage Commission plaque program recognizes buildings with both historic and architectural merit. The program is intended to promote preservation and awareness of Elgin’s past. The plaque is an acknowledgment of the owner’s efforts to research and document the building’s history and to maintain these structures as worthy examples of architectural style. The buildings and owners which receive plaques serve as role models for the larger community to emulate. The buildings become “reference books” for use in teaching others about our architectural and cultural heritage.

There are a large number of “kit” or “catalog” homes in Elgin. These buildings were originally constructed using precut lumber and other materials largely supplied by a single source. The buildings were marketed through catalogs and sold by Sears, Roebuck and Company and other firms. The Heritage Commission plaque program recognizes these homes with a special plaque that documents the name of the original owner, the date of construction and the model name.

The following guidelines help to delineate the criteria used to evaluate a building and merit receiving the special status of being awarded a plaque.

Scoring Guidelines

The scoring guidelines use three indices to assess an application. These cover the following considerations: 1. Architectural Considerations 2. Historical Considerations 3. Maintenance Considerations

Each of these indices has a point scale from 0 to 10. To receive a plaque, an applicant must score 6 or higher on each of three indices. In addition, the building must have been constructed more than fifty years ago.

Architectural Considerations

10 - A superior example of an established architectural style. The key elements of the style are both present and well executed in the design. There is no, or very little, evidence of architectural details, or other features (such as antennas, mail boxes, storm doors/windows, gutters/down spouts, etc.) that are inconsistent with the style or original appearance of the building. This score maybe awarded to an exceptionally well executed building of vernacular design, if all the architectural details and other features are consistent with period in which it was built. From the exterior, the building appears to be in original, as built, condition.

8 - A very good example of an established architectural style or vernacular design. The building may have alterations from its original appearance, such as additions, modified porches, changes to the windows, or missing architectural elements, etc., if these are changes are consistent with the overall style of the building, or, if not consistent, they have minimal impact on the building’s appearance.

6 - A good example of an established architectural style or vernacular design. Alterations maybe present but do not substantially obscure or compromise the style or original design of the building. Examples of these alternations may include additions or changes to the porches that are not consistent with the original design; Use of substitute siding in soffits and fascia; Use of substitute siding if the appearance and exposure of the siding is consistent with the original look and other details, such as corner boards, window/door moldings, etc. are present and appropriate to the style of the building.

4 - A fair example of an established architectural style or vernacular design. Alterations are present and while not entirely compromising the original design they noticeably detract from the original appearance. Examples of these detracting features are: Key architectural elements of the style are missing or no longer visible; Additions and alterations are not in character with the original style or age of the building; The use of substitute siding has obscured corner boards, window/door moldings, etc. The design or application of substitute siding is not consistent with that used when the building was constructed, for example, excessively wide exposures, or ship-lap, or board and batten profiles. Or, the color scheme greatly varies from those typical of the era in which the building was constructed.

2 - A poor example of an established architectural style or vernacular design. The building may have had very little architectural merit when constructed. Or, the building may have had subsequent additions and alterations which not consistent with the age of the building or have obscured many of the original architectural details. Or, the building has substitute siding made from asbestos, asphalt or a tar paper based products.

Historical Considerations

10 - A building associated with one or more individuals who played a leading role in Elgin’s history (e.g., significant community leaders, business persons, artists, educators, builders/tradesmen, etc.) Or, a building that was the site of one or more significant historic events. Or, a building that by virtue of its use over time for either residential, commercial, institutional or industrial purposes, was associated with of a very large number of citizens. Or, a building that has a significant symbolic connection with city’s identity (e.g., the Tower Building, Observatory, high schools, colleges, major institutions, prominent religious, commercial or public buildings.)

8 - A building associated with one or more persons who were representative of Elgin’s history but may not merit individual attention in an historical account, (e.g., watch workers, early settlers, small business operators, professionals, minor community leaders, etc.). Or, a building which was the site of one or more minor historic events. Or, a building that by virtue of its use over time was associated with many citizens (e.g., large churches, smaller size schools, public or commercial buildings). Or, a building that has some notable connection with the city’s identity (e.g., Teeple barn, Armory, Professional Building, etc.).

6 - A building that is typical of the era in which it was constructed, or representative of larger developments (e.g., a home in specific subdivision or area which was developed more or less as a whole). Or, a building that was used over a number of years by small groups of citizens (e.g., small churches, private clubs, etc.). Or, a building that was associated with one family for a long period of time. Or, a building that has some association with the city’s identity (e.g. in a prominent or landmark location).

4 - A building which contributes only to a small degree to the larger historical context of the area in which it exists.

2 - A building not associated with any of the historical or cultural conditions above. Or, while of an age eligible to receive a plaque, exists in isolation from a larger historical context (e.g., an in fill building from an era different than its surrounding structures).

Maintenance Considerations

10 - An exceptionally well maintained building showing virtually no signs of deterioration or in need of immediate maintenance or care. The surrounding landscape is also well maintained and complimentary to the building.

8 - A very well maintained building that may show some minor indications of needing periodic maintenance, such as, touch up paint, small scale tuck pointing, very minor carpentry work, etc. The surrounding landscape is nicely maintained.

6 - An adequately maintained building that may be in need of periodic maintenance such as minor painting, simple carpentry work, or repair/replacement of some secondary features such as gutters, screens, smaller size decorative elements which do not greatly detract from the overall appearance of the building. The surrounding landscape is adequately maintained.

4 - A building noticeably in need of periodic maintenance which may include large areas of faded or peeling paint, worn out stairs, porches, siding or roofs, broken windows or doors, damaged or obviously missing architectural elements, etc. And/or, the surrounding landscape is poorly maintained and is such a condition that it noticeably detracts from the building’s appearances.

2 - A building in poor repair. One or more major areas needing immediate attention to prevent further rapid deterioration of the overall structure. And/or, the landscaping is in very poor condition, e.g. debris, overgrown vegetation, dead limbs or plants or large numbers of weeds.

History of 31 N. Worth Ave., Elgin, Il 1910

Lot 14 in the northwest corner of the subdivision called Washington Heights is deeded by the City of Elgin in 1893. William Grote buys 17 lots including lot 14 from the City for the sum of $2030. 2 houses are built in 1893‐4 on North Worth Ave, 37 and 11 N. Worth. Tony (Roco) Salamone and his wife Alma buy the lot for $300 on November 10th, 1909. Alma brother Fred Bolenstenger takes out a loan for $1800 on November 17th, 1909. 31 N. Worth is built in 1910, according to City records. Alama's mother, Minnie also lives at 31 N. Worth Ave. Roco is a worker at the watch factory along with Alma's brother Fred. Tony's Father and his Mother immigrated from Italy in 1890. Roco was born in Italy in 1883. His wife was born in Wisconsin in 1885. Fred Bolenstenger would die on July 27, 1914 and his Mother Minnie would die on April 16, 1925. Both are buried in Bluff City Cemetery. Roco and his wife sell 31 N. Worth in 1926.

Dr. Martin H. Hubrig (1889‐1967) and his wife Ida buy 31 N. Worth. Dr. Hubrig would be only 1 of 10 doctors in Elgin in 1925 which had a population of about 30,000. His office was at 165 E. Highland, in Elgin. Ida would die on Dec 14, 1928. Dr. Hubrig would later remarry Mildred. Martin Hubrig would sell 31 N. Worth in June of 1941 and move to 485 Wing St. They would also move again to 909 W. Highland. He and his first wife are buried in Buff City Cemetery.

Carl and Ruth Lind would buy 31 N. Worth from Dr. Hubrig in 1941. Carl had been drafted in 1919 after working as a book keeper for John F. Campbell Co. After the War, Carl would work as an inspector at the Elgin Watch Factory. His wife Ruth would raise 4 children. Carl's Father Axel and Mother Josephine immigrated from Sweden and his Dad worked for the Railroad. Ruth would die in 1982 and Carl moved to the Baker Hotel in St. Charles and later to a nursing home in Naperville near his children. He would die in 1988.

Following the death of his wife, Carl agrees to sell 31 N. Worth to Laura and James Zorn in June of 1983. Carl would act as the lender for 3 years while interests were at an all time high. James worked as a professional photographer with his office in Northbrook, Il. Laura work in retail and at one point worked at the Akeman's Department store as a handbag and accessories buyer. James would later work at RR Donnelley office in Elgin as a photographer. Laura and James are the current owners.

31 N. Worth was built in 1910. It is a Prairie style cube or otherwise known as an American Foursquare. The American Foursquare typology became a common building type at the turn of the 20th century and into its first decades. It reflects simplicity and symmetry and was a relief from the "busy‐ness" of the proceeding Victorian era. 31 N. Worth Avenue is a square, two story house with a hipped roof that features a central gable with a raking cornice (cornice on a pediment) at the front façade and small hipped dormers on its sides. The second and first stories are separated by a horizontal band. The entire home is clad in narrow, clapboard siding that also emphasizes horizontality. A small hipped roof porch that covers half of the width of the façade is enclosed but exhibits the same narrow, clapboards found throughout the home.

The home contains original one‐over‐one double‐hung windows with a unique divided‐lite semicircular window centrally located at the front gable.

Sears was selling houses starting in 1908, but it wasn't until 1916 that the houses were "precut". The house would have been plans plus material list. The 1912 Sears Great Book claims to have 1340 homes to satisfied customers. Based on that information, 31 N. Worth could be one of the earliest Sears Houses in Elgin. None of the house has been changed on the outside. The original windows and doors are all in place. The interior of the house has had only minor changes and some modern upgrades. None of the original, oak woodwork, flooring and stair case have ever been painted. Of note is the Icebox built in the kitchen with a door outside for ice and a door on the side of the porch for milk delivery.
