Broad St. SHPO Log #032012808 September 9, 2024 Lucas Brooks City of Galesburg 55 W. Tompkins St. Galesburg, IL 61401 Thank you for submitting the proposed rehabilitative work to the north face of the former Illinois National Guard Armory at 149 North Broad Street in Galesburg, Illinois, which we received on 8/8/24. The subject property is a contributing resource within the Galesburg Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on November 21, 1976. Furthermore, it was determined eligible for individual listing on the NRHP on February 4, 1992. As a result of the structure’s disposition from the Illinois Department of Military Affairs to the City of Galesburg (SHPO #032012808), to satisfy the Illinois State Agency Historic Resources Preservation Act (20 ILCS 3420) and its implementing rules (17 IAC 4180), the property was subject to a preservation covenant (Covenant) recorded with the Knox County Clerk on 6/3/08 and modified on 8/28/09. As per Section 2 of the Covenant, “No construction, alteration or rehabilitation shall be undertaken or permitted to be undertaken that would affect the exterior historic features of the property without consultation with and the express permission of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA) or a fully authorized representative thereof.” As per Sections 1 and 2 of the Covenant, the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) certifies that the proposed scope of work meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (Standards) and will not adversely affect the historic property, and grants permission to proceed with the proposed rehabilitative work to the north face of the building. If the project’s scope of work changes from that which has been submitted to and approved by this office, you must email those changes to Darius Bryjka (Darius.Bryjka@Illinois.gov) for review and comment. Failure to submit project changes for review and comment prior to construction violates the Covenant. Sincerely, Carey L. Mayer, AIA Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer
