Good morning Robert,
I am going to take the camera and head over to the church to get some photos of the damaged arch this morning. Both
Brian Minyard, and our National Register Coordinator Ralph Wilcox, are out of the office until January 2 nd, so if we are
going towards the removal of the damaged arch, we need their input first. If you want to look into repairing it, I have
attached a list of contractors we have worked with on various preservation projects around the state that you can pick
and choose from to talk about the project. A good source to find replacement bricks is ACME brick in Malvern. They
were able to match some obscure brick types for us on the Polk County Courthouse a couple of years ago, so they may
be able to find a match to your brick.
Cheers,
Paul

Paul, Brian, and Brian:
Good morning. I hope you have all had a good Christmas and looking forward to the New Year.
We had an incident at First Lutheran Church a week or two week ago. We would like to have you take a look and let us
know how to best proceed.
We had a transport van hit the brick arch between the sanctuary and office building on the 8 th Street side. The arch was
hit from the parking lot side. The arch has been damaged and displaced by approximately two inches. We have not
obtained a contractor yet, although there is concern about injury liability if any further bricks/concrete falls, so there is
an urgency to begin moving on a repair/removal of the arch.
We would appreciate the following:
2
Would you be able to go by and assess the damage from the historic preservation?
Would you provide a recommendation for rebuilding the arch or removing it?
o We may need documentation to submit to the van transport insurance
Would you have any vendor/contractor recommendations for the repair?
Your consultation would be very much appreciated, so we can comply with the historic requirements and start towards
the repair.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.
Robert.
