5 February 1998 Minutes, Page 2
There was brief discussion about a COA submitted last year for 1414 Rock Street,
clarifying the conditions of its approval and the work's progress. Greer presented an
update of Curran Hall's phased stabilization work. Several issues were raised about
the structure, such as its windows, foundation, roof and its overall condition. Ongoing
research is uncovering substantial information, which will be utilized in the structure's
rehabilitation: window sizing and placement, roofing, foundation composition and
outbuilding locations. Several sources are being utilized for grant requests for the
continued and phased rehabilitation work on Curran:
0 ISTEA grant of $400,000 was the most substantial request of money for rehab
with 50-50 matching funds; grant award notification is later in the year.
0 National Trust for Historic Preservation: two grants under this program;
$10,000 for consultants to research and analyze the interior finishings and a
$12,000 request for selective archaeological investigations on the locations of
the outbuildings; notification of grant award is May.
0 CLG grant for 1998, due in March, will be submitted for the stabilization of
Curran Hall; grant award notification is May.
As there was no other business, a motion was made and a vote was taken; the LRHDC
adjourned at 5:35 p.m.
NOTE: LRHDC meeting was held at the Robinson Center, Room 102

COA Applicant: Fred and Lynette Nelson
COA Request: To completely renovate the interior of the structure (changing from
a multiple to a single family house) and to renovate the exterior,
restoring as much as possible the original appearance (restoring
the clapboarding, front window, etc.)
Property Address: 1414 South Rock Street
Recommendations: It is recommended that the application for a COA be approved as
the structure is being rehabilitated to its original single family use and the artificial siding
is being removed and returned to the wooden clapboarding.
