          CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON THE REQUEST BY EMILY MARTIN FOR APPROVAL OF A HISTORIC MARKER FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1306 NORTH WADDELL STREET. REINA ALLEN WILL MAKE A PRESENTATION. GOOD EVENING, BOARD MEMBERS. THANK YOU. SO THIS EVENING I AM BRINGING FORWARD A HISTORIC MARKER APPLICATION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1306 NORTH WADDELL STREET, ON BEHALF OF OWNER EMILY MARTIN, AND SHE IS HERE WITH US THIS EVENING. SO HERE'S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION AND PRESERVATION PRIORITY OF THE HOUSE. SO THIS IS THE MEWS HOUSE AND THE SITE OF THE MEWS ACADEMY, WHICH WAS CONSTRUCTED AROUND 1858 TO 1859 IN THE EARLY CLASSICAL REVIVAL STYLE, USING TIMBER FRAME CONSTRUCTION AND MORTISE AND TENON JOINERY WITH WOODEN PEGS, WITH HEARTWOOD PINE BROUGHT OVER FROM JEFFERSON, TEXAS. AND IT'S ALSO ON FOUNDATION BLOCKS. IT IS A HIGH PRIORITY RATING. AND HERE ARE A FEW OF THE CHARACTER DEFINING FEATURES. FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR FULL WIDTH PORCHES, SIX OVER ONE WINDOWS AND STATELY COLUMNS. AND YOU DO HAVE THE FULL HISTORICAL NARRATIVE IN YOUR PACKET. IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ THE FULL THING, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY, REALLY COOL INFORMATION IN THERE. HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. SO CONSTRUCTION BEGAN IN 1857 BY JAMES SANFORD MUSE. IT HOUSED THE MUSE ACADEMY FROM 1866 TO 1871, AND INTERESTINGLY, IT HAD FULL TWO STORY, TEN FOOT WIDE WRAP AROUND VERANDAHS, WHICH WAS HUGE, ESPECIALLY AT THAT TIME. THE FINAL COST TO BUILD THAT WAS $6,000, AND THAT COMES OUT TO ABOUT $2.5 MILLION IN TODAY'S DOLLARS. AND IT DID RECEIVE A STATE HISTORIC MARKER IN 1978. AND AGAIN, YOU HAVE THE FULL PACKET, BUT HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE NOTABLE HISTORICAL FIGURES AND PROPERTY OWNERS. SO, OF COURSE, JAMES MUSE AND HIS WIFE AND THEN HIS SON. I BELIEVE THAT WAS HIS GRANDSON, JIM MUSE AND CLAUDIA. 
          AND THEN THERE WERE SEVERAL OWNERS IN BETWEEN THE 1940S AND 1971, WHEN MR. AND MRS. WALTER P. BOWMER PURCHASED IT. AND WHEN THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY, THEY DID A REMODEL ON IT AND BROUGHT IT UP TO THE NEW COLONIAL FACADE THAT YOU SEE. AND THEN THE PRESENT OWNERS AS WELL. AND HERE ARE A FEW OF THE PAST ELEVATIONS, ONE SHOWING THE STATE MARKER. AND THEN CURRENT ELEVATIONS OF THE BACKYARD AND THE FRONT. AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU REINA. DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? WE'RE A SMALL GROUP TODAY. IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. I DRIVE BY IT ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I LIVE ON WADDELL 
          [00:05:02]
AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL. YEAH. YES. WHAT A TRANSFORMATION. YEAH, IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE THAT COLOR SCHEME TOO. AND IT'S ALSO ONE OF THE OLDEST, IF NOT THE OLDEST HOUSES IN COLLIN COUNTY AS WELL. SO NOT JUST MCKINNEY, BUT IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. WOW. 
          THAT'S AWESOME. IT MUST BE GREAT HISTORY. YEAH. THAT'S IMPRESSIVE. OKAY. WELL, THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? I MOVE TO APPROVE THE HISTORIC MARKER FOR THIS PROPERTY. SECOND. OKAY. MOTION BY BOARD MEMBER KENNEDY TO APPROVE AND SECOND, BY BOARD MEMBER WEST. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? NO. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
