Re: Demolition of hiEttrnic propentieE
F'lany residential and commenc ial huilding= r.rithin Celdwell have
historical and anchitectural ualues which contnibute to the
cul tunal and economic wel fare cf our c i t izens. If these bu i I dings
ane demol i shed without proper documen tat i on, these val ueE will be
I ost f oreqren.
Oocumentation can consi€t o+ as I ittlp eE a photsgraFh, er can
expand ts floon plans or site elevations. Proper dispensation of
an histonic attribute might include tracking the fate o{ a Ieaded
glass window, fil igree, a cupola or anr' numben items impossibl€ to
I lst ahead o+ time.
If the City o{ Caldwel I is goinB to preserve its henitage, it is
essential that the HiEtoric Pnegervat ion CommiEsion be notified
and al I ou,red to make an eval uat ion befsne the dismantpl ingr
demol ition or bunninB of any property within the city. Pnopennotification should consist of contacting
and al I ow ing a suff ic ient amount
of time {or a wnitten evaluation to be submitted to you fnom the
CommisEion.
