[Consider/Discuss/Act on a Request by Morgan Newman & Jason Manske for Approval of a Historic Marker for the Property Located at 611 W Virginia Street.]

2020 5-0106. CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON REQUEST BY MORGAN NEWMAN AND JASON MANSKY FOR APPROVAL OF A HISTORIC MARKER FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 611 WEST VIRGINIA STREET. DID I SAY THAT RIGHT? YES. ALL RIGHT. VERY GOOD. SO THIS IS FOR HISTORIC MARKER APPLICATION FOR 611 WEST VIRGINIA STREET. THE HOMEOWNERS ARE HERE THIS EVENING. THIS HOME WAS CONSTRUCTED CIRCA 1898 WITH WOOD FRAME AND GABLE ROOF. IT IS A HIGH PRIORITY HOUSE IN THE FOLK VICTORIAN STYLE, AND HIGH PRIORITY MEANS IT CONTRIBUTES SIGNIFICANTLY TO LOCAL HISTORY OR BROADER HISTORICAL PATTERNS, AND IS AN OUTSTANDING OR UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF ARCHITECTURE, ENGINEERING OR CRAFTED DESIGN, AND RETAINS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ITS ORIGINAL CHARACTER. AND YOU DID RECEIVE THE FULL APPLICATION AND HISTORICAL NARRATIVE IN YOUR PACKET. BUT JUST A FEW THINGS THAT I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT HERE THIS EVENING. IT WAS OWNED OR AT LEAST ASSOCIATED WITH DOCTOR SCOTT HARRISON ABBOTT, WHO USED IT AS A RENTAL PROPERTY UNTIL 1911.

IT WAS PURCHASED IN 1911 BY WELLINGTON CHARLES WILL GARISH AND USED AS A PERMANENT HOME FOR HIS FAMILY. THERE WERE SEVERAL RENOVATIONS THAT WERE DONE BETWEEN 1908 AND 1914, INCLUDING REAR ADDITIONS AND A SECOND STORY THAT WAS ADDED. THE PROPERTY DID CHANGE HANDS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY. IN 1979, THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL REHABILITATION BY TOM AND BARBARA SWING. MOST OF THOSE RENOVATIONS WERE ACTUALLY ON THE INTERIOR OF THE HOME. SEVERAL CHANGES BETWEEN 1985 AND 2005, INCLUDING REMOVING OF A CARPORT, A THIRD PEAK ON THE ROOF, AND A SET OF UPSTAIRS WINDOWS. THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR PRESERVATION EFFORTS IN 1996 BY OWNERS WILLIAM AND ROSIE HUGHES. SO THAT WAS THE NEXT REAL BIG RENOVATIONS THAT TOOK PLACE. AND THEN THE PROPERTY WAS PURCHASED BY THE CURRENT OWNERS IN 2020 FOR. AND HERE IS A PICTURE OF A COUPLE OF THE SANBORN MAPS, SO YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS LOCATED. AND SO 1902 AND 1920. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE BETWEEN 1902 AND 1914. SO THE SHAPE OF IT CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY. SO THOSE WERE SOME OF THE RENOVATIONS, MOST LIKELY WHEN IT BECAME A PERMANENT HOME. SO IT'S A HIGH PRIORITY HOME. CORRECT. AND EVEN WITH THE ADDED THIRD PEAK. SO THAT WAS EARLIER ON. SO IT WOULD ALREADY HAVE ESTABLISHED ITS OWN HISTORICAL INTEGRITY OKAY. AND THESE ARE THE CURRENT ELEVATIONS. AND THIS IS THE FINAL VIEW I LOVE THE SKELETON.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. FRIENDLY SKELETONS. THEY'RE FRIENDLY.

YES. VERY FRIENDLY. FRIENDLY I'M WEARING MY DAD'S SWEATER TONIGHT OKAY. I JUST WANT TO SAY THEY'VE DONE A BEAUTIFUL JOB RESTORING THIS PROPERTY. YES. I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD I WATCHED IT TONIGHT. I PASSED THIS HOME EVERY SUNDAY WHEN I GO HOME FROM CHURCH, AND I'VE SEEN THE SLOW AND STEADY PROGRESS. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. YEAH, THEY THEY DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. AND THE HISTORICAL RESEARCH THAT THEY DID ON THE PROPERTY AS WELL, WHICH YOU ALL HAVE IN YOUR PACKET WAS, WAS REALLY VERY WELL DONE AS WELL. WOULD YOU ALL LIKE TO COME UP AND TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE? YOU'RE WELCOME TO MY

[00:25:09]

PREDECESSOR ALWAYS MAKES PEOPLE COME UP AND TALK. AND I ALWAYS DO WHAT SHE SAYS. EVERYONE ALWAYS DOES WHAT MISS BETTY SAYS. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. YEAH. SO THANK YOU GUYS. DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEMS? I GUESS I'M AGENDA. WE MIGHT SEE THE OLDER FOLKS OKAY. YEAH. SO WHEN WE MOVED INTO THE HOME THERE WAS A LOT OF DISREPAIR. LEAKING IN THE SIDING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO WE'VE VERY CAREFULLY REPLACED WITH HISTORICALLY ACCURATE, LIKE THE BOTTOM SKIRT WITH THE RIGHT TYPE OF WOOD. AND THEN WE DID A PRIME REDWOOD SIDING TO LAST AND THE SAME PROFILE AS THE ORIGINAL. DID YOU RECITE EVERYTHING WE DID? WOW. YEAH.

WHEN WE GOT THE HOME, THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF LEAKING AND SOME STRUCTURAL ISSUES WITH THE SIDING, AND IT WAS JUST BEST TO TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS STRUCTURED WAS SAFE. OVERALL, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CHEAT CODE OF WHY IT LOOKS SO GOOD. MORGAN IS AN ARCHITECT, SO THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WHY IT IS GOING AS WELL AS IT IS. BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO US TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY OF THE HOME. I WORK IN DOWNTOWN MCKINNEY, SO I'VE BEEN WORKING THERE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND I'M LIKE, WE NEED TO MOVE HERE. YEAH. SO, MCKINNEY, YOU DROVE BY THOSE HOUSES EVERY SINGLE DAY? YES. I SAID NO TO THIS HOUSE INITIALLY, BUT SHE SAW THE VISION. YEAH.

SO WE WERE WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE RETAINED THE HISTORICAL VALUE. SO WE HAVE A WINDOW RESTORER THAT HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THE HOME LOVINGLY FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND REDOING ALL OF THE SASH, REPLACING THE WEIGHTS AND THE ROPES AND EVERYTHING. SO THAT WAS A REALLY BIG THING FOR US. WE DIDN'T WANT TO REPLACE WITH NON-HISTORIC WINDOWS, SO IT'S BEEN A REALLY GREAT PROCESS. AND SO YOU ACTUALLY HAVE YOUR WINDOWS ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE. YES. OH YEAH. EVERY SINGLE ONE FULLY OPERABLE. WOW. YOU DON'T WANT TO JUST PAINT THEM SHUT SO THE DUST DOESN'T COME IN BECAUSE IT WILL. AND WE DIDN'T REALIZE EVERYTHING WAS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE WHEN WE BOUGHT THE HOME. BUT THEN AS YOU KIND OF MOVE IN AND YOU'RE PEELING AWAY THE LAYERS, YOU'RE TAKING DOWN THE CURTAINS AND STUFF, YOU SEE THE WHERE EVERYTHING IS KIND OF ROTTED AND WATER HAS GOTTEN IN. AND SO YEAH, IT'S JUST BEEN IT'S BEEN DEFINITELY A LABOR OF LOVE. WE HAVE A LONG WAY, YOU KNOW, INTERIOR WISE TO GO. BUT IT'S BEEN A REALLY FUN PROCESS. AND IT'S BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH THE CITY AND IN ARENA AND CASSIE AND ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, THOSE ARE OKTOBERFEST SKELETONS. YES, THEY HAVE THEIR GERMAN HATS ON AND THEIR STEINS, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HAD, YOU KNOW, THAT ONE TIME, AT ONE TIME. I'M CURIOUS, HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR COLORS? HOW DID YOU CHOOSE? THE COLOR SCHEME IS BEAUTIFUL. IT'S IT GOES SO WELL TOGETHER. THERE IS SOMEONE ONLINE BECAUSE I THINK THIS WAS A HUGE DAUNTING. EVEN THOUGH I'M IN ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN, I THINK IT'S A HUGE UNDERTAKING TO SPEND THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON PAINT BY THAT MANY GALLONS AND IT BE NOT THE RIGHT SELECTION. SO THERE'S ACTUALLY A WOMAN, I CAN'T REMEMBER HER FIRST NAME, BUT IT'S CALLED THE COLOR CONCIERGE, AND SHE'S ONLINE AND SHE YOU JUST KIND OF WORK WITH HER AND YOU KIND OF PICK SOME SELECTIONS AND YOU GO FROM THERE. SO YOU PAY HER A SMALL FEE AND SHE SELECTS THEM. SO FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH I'M IN THE FIELD, IT WAS SUCH A DAUNTING TASK FOR MY OWN HOME THAT I WAS LIKE, OKAY, I THINK I NEED TO ASK SOMEONE ELSE. YEAH. THANK YOU. A LOT OF MONEY. YEAH, YEAH, YOU GUYS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB.

IT'S FABULOUS. JUST BEAUTIFUL. AND GOOD LUCK WITH THE INSIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING UP AND TALK WITH US. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OKAY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST FOR HISTORIC MARKER. I'LL MOVE THAT.

WE APPROVE. OKAY. SECOND AND SECOND BY CARRIE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. WE CAN NOW VOTE. IT'S NOT LIKE YOU TODAY. IT'S YOU. IT IS ME. YEAH, IT'S ABSOLUTELY ME. IT'S HAUNTED EVERY TIME. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT VOTE. OKAY? JUST COMPLETELY FROZEN. HOW TYPICAL WAS THAT? HOW TYPICAL WAS IT THAT THEY WOULD ADD IT? TAKE CARE OF THIS. BETWEEN 1908 AND 1914, IT SHOWED IT WAS COMING FROM RENTAL PROPERTY PERHAPS, AND THEY WERE TRYING TO ADAPT IN THAT WAY. IT HAD BEEN A FAMILY. HOW OFTEN DO YOU YOU DON'T SEE THAT IT'S IN THE BACK ROOM, REALLY, I THINK YEAH. OKAY. AND SO THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. ALL RIGHT. ALL

[00:30:06]

RIGHT. ITEM. NEXT ITEM IS. AGAIN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NEXT ITEM 2020 5-0107. CONSIDER
