Rodney & Nancy Schwiesow, 312 E. 4th St., Individual designation. Late 1860s, 1 1/2 blocks
east of City Hall. Front windows have been replaced with 6 over 6 pane which meet the
guidelines. These were underway before formal designation was completed last year, but the
owners did provide drawings which were reviewed and approved by staff.
They are now replacing windows on the side and rear of house and a door. The Kolbe
designs meet the design guidelines.
They asked for advice on what kind of door would be appropriate. Commission
suggested a four or six panel door would be appropriate. These are available in wood from a
variety of sources and can be made locally. A 36" wide door requires removing the lights on one
side. This would be the sole handicapped access to the building.
