CITY OF GALESBURG Community Development Memo Operating Under Council – Manager Government Since 1957 ____________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 of 1 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ TO: Landmark Commission Members FROM: Steve Gugliotta, AICP DATE: April 14, 2021 SUBJECT: LC-21-0501 Certificate of Appropriateness – 64 S Academy Street Attached for the Committee’s review is a Certificate of Appropriateness request from Hope Cemetery Association. The property owner is proposing to demolish the caretakers building on the west side of the cemetery adjacent to the Academy Street entrance. They would also like to replace the existing fencing along S Academy Street with wrought iron fencing. According to a 2013 architectural survey done Fever River Research, the caretakers building does not show up and any published Sanborn Maps between 1888 and 1950, although the cemetery as a whole was omitted from these maps. The survey does state the caretakers cottage is considered a contributing feature to the cemetery’s design. A similar request was brought before the Landmark Commission in 2015 and the request was denied because the Commission at that time felt the building had some architectural uniqueness and it would be nice to save the structure if possible. Section 151.071 states the Commission should consider the Building Inspectors opinion, information on proposed changes in landscaping, evidence of any hardship that may arise and an assessment of any alterations in the essential character of the area which would occur as a result of demolition or removal action.

IL 61401 • 3091345-3619 Last updated March 19, 2014 Page 2 of 2 -. The Hope Cemetery Association is requesting consideration and approval from the Galesburg Landmark Commission for a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Association would like to demolish and remove the storage building found at the entrance gate off Academy Street. The building is structurally unsafe and not worth repairing. The foundation is crumbling and the structure is leaning supported partially by the fence. It is not safe for the storage of the lawn maintenance equipment and for those trespassing on private property during the evening hours. The Association feels the present storage structure is not aesthetically appealing in relation to the historic significance of Galesburg. At the present time the Association is not pursuing a replacement storage structure. Our plan is to construct a black wrought iron fence along the Academy Street side of the cemetery. In addition to the removal of the shed the Association also requests permission to remove the old fence and replace it with a black wrought iron fence the length of the Academy Street side of the cemetery. City Hall • 55 West Tompkins Street • Galesburg, IL 61401 • 309/345-3617 To: From: Date: Subject: Steve Gugliotta, ActingCommunity Development Director Rory Speidel, Building Inspector April 15, 2021 Caretakers Building on Grounds of Hope Cemetery Inspection of the caretakers building was completed today April 15, 2021, to assess the condition of the structure. The structure is located on the East side of the cemetery just South of the entrance off Academy. This structure of wood frame construction and is sitting on brick foundation. The structure is in a very dilapidated condition. The foundation wall on three of the four walls are just about completely collapsed leaving just the corner brick piers, the fourth wall on the north side is in the stage of collapsing and is leaning and breaking free from corners. Looking under the structure there appears to be a brick column/chimney that also leaning. Upon looking inside the building it was found at one time this building had a chimney and a stove (possibly wood) and the chimney has been removed at the roof level and covered, a middle section was also removed and replaced with wood framing that now supports the upper section. The building is being used for storage of maintenance equipment. The floor joists are dilapidated at the ends and no longer supported by the beams and wood sheathing was fastened to the floor joists to hold them together, the lack of proper support and framing makes it unsafe. The walls of this structure are moving with wind due to fastener fatigue. The exterior is leaning against the fence along the public sidwalk on the southeast corner. The entire structure is missing siding in various areas and trim boards. There is many openings in the exterior allowing for weather to infiltrate. Structure has a severe lean to the north of approximately 10”-12” . Based on the visual inspection of the structure on the property of the Hope Cemetery- , Caretakers Building, the structure is unsafe and could be more a liabilty than it is worth.
