Ladd Carriage House Design Review Approved
by shooter
The Historic Landmarks Commission has approved the historic design review for the Ladd Carriage House rehabilitation. The house has been "mothballed" in a parking lot at SW 10th and SW Columbia during the construction of the Ladd Tower—but it will soon be returned to its original site and restored.In a previous post, we talked about the difficulties with the building's historical registration and renovation. The house is currently for sale at $1.1 million through Venerable Properties.
Upon relocation to its original site on SW Broadway, the building will be set back five feet from the right-of-way on both street frontages. The resulting open area will include:
- Two externally illuminated monument signs
- Short-term bicycle parking
- Steps, ramps, and handrails associated with building entries
- Cleaning, patching repairing, and painting of surviving historic materials
- Re-roofing with composition shingles
- Removal of vents, conduits, signs, and other miscellaneous non-historic attachments
- Removal of non-historic windows, doors, and areas of siding
- Restoration of the original door, window, siding and applied ornament patters based on documentary and physical evidence (where evidence is unavailable, the work will reflect the general architectural stylistic character).
