COMMISSION
Real Estate, LLC.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
This matter was heard at the May meeting. The structure would be in a vacant lot.
The owner erected it as a test and the owner has proposed to move it to a more
setback location. The major remaining concern of staff is the galvanized metal
appearance of the structure.
Leslie Montamuro - the structure will no longer be visible from the corner or west of
that corner. She would like to keep the structure up all year. The total height is 14
feet.
Commissioner Keating Kahn finds this funky and fun. She supports keeping it up
year-round.
Grant, with the intention that this shall return before the Board in September/October
for review as to leave it up year-round.
A motion was made by Patricia Keating Kahn, seconded by Sally Peltz, that
this Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following vote:

sign at 1009 N. Old World 3rd Street, in the Old World 3rd Street Historic

Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said this is retroactive approval for an aluminum projecting sign. Last
year a sign audit was done of Old World Third Street. The sign is also lower than 10
feet from the sidewalk; this sign 8 feet 6 inches above the sidewalk. A permit needs
to be obtained for this sign as well.
City of Milwaukee Page 2
HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes June 3, 2019
COMMISSION
Atty. Andrew Arena - this sign has been at this height for 14 years and has never been
a safety issue for pedestrians or traffic. If razed up, it would interfere with the "Who's
on Third" sign.

decisions or set precedent.

Mr. Tim Askin said that this came as a result of neighborhood complaint. After
acquisition, all windows were replaced with vinyl and aluminum. This property has both
local and national historic designation.
Roy Duncan - the house was extremely cool due to the poor ventilation of the windows.
They were not aware the house was historic prior to doing the window work. It will be
approximately $65,000 to remove the new windows and replace with wood windows.
Mrs. Duncan had e-mailed Mr. Askin that they had begun replacing the windows.

City of Milwaukee Page 4
HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes June 3, 2019
COMMISSION
Mr. Tim Askin said that the house was purchased a few months ago following years of
neglect.
Chester Daxe - the house was divided into two townhomes and the interior was
basically stripped. It was previously an illegal 3-unit and he will combine that 3rd unit
into the second townhome. He does not have an architect and is working on restoring
the architectural integrity.
Mr. Askin said that a plat of survey for the garage was submitted at the hearing. The
garage will be 41 by 20 with false windows with flat false shutters with minimal
decoration. The proposed door will not have etched glass, but will have four panels.
The eaves will be a simplified version of the house eaves. Staff recommends approval
pending drawing of the eave details and final overhead door for staff approval.
Grant, with the conditions listed in the staff report as well as final approval for the door,
by Ms. Keating Kahn. There was no second.
Staff feels confident that this submission is complete enough, but the Commission
would like to see the finished product.
Hold until the application is complete for full Commission review, by Ms. Peltz.
Seconded by Ms. Clendenen-Acosta.

45. Review and approval of the minutes from the April 1st and May 6th meetings.
Ms Peltz moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, for approval of the minutes. There
were no objections.
46. Commission Review of the application for a plaque for 839 North 11th Street, the locally
designated Schultz/Seeboth Duplex, now occupied as the A. Chudnow & Sons Historical
Museum in the 4th Ald. District.
Ms. Carlen Hatala said the museum is having an anniversary celebration. The house
was constructed in 1869 or 1870. Albert Seeboth purchased the property in 1905 and
added the wood timbering as well as altered some windows to make the house larger.
The interior is from the 1905 remodeling. The Chudnow museum grew out of the
collections of Abe Chudnow, who was a collector of all things Milwaukee history. He
was particularly interested in Bob LaFollette. In 2012, the house was opened as a
museum. The building was granted local historic designation in 2012. Staff
recommends approval.
Ms. Keating Kahn moved, seconded by Ms. Peltz, to grant the plaque application.
This was
47. Certified Local Government Review of the National Register Nomination for the House at
2463 North Palmer Street, Jones-Hill House, in the 6th Ald. District.
Ms. Carlen Hatala said this was held at the May meeting due to the loss of the quorum.
The house was built in 1905 for William Conrad, a successful tannery owner.
Members of the family owned the house through 1953 and was eventually sold to an
African American couple who converted this to a 3-family. The main staircase was
removed. Willie Jones started his own business delivering ice and coal, operated a
pool hall, and started a jazz club and assorted real estate holdings. The house was
sold and then used as rental housing; the basement was used as an underground
club. In 1997, the house was returned to single-family status. Staff recommends
support of the nomination.
Ms. Keating Kahn moved, seconded by Ms. Peltz, to grant the nomination. There were
no objections.
48. Updates and announcements.
The Preservation Awards ceremony was very well-attended. The state historic office
also presented awards to the African American community landmarks.
Meting adjourned: 4:32 P.M.
