Explanation
Background:
The Historic Resources Commission is charged with identifying structures of historic and architectural significance, maintaining a list of these structures and other historic resources, and providing regulations through design review. With these goals in mind, the Columbus Register of Historic Properties was created.
An application has been made by Carole Tomko (owner) to list the Richard Berry Jr. House, 324 East North Broadway in the Columbus Register of Historic Properties. Proper notice was given as required by Chapter 3117, C.C., and a public hearing was held on June 16, 2005. Based on the historic and architectural information provided in the nomination, the Historic Resources Commission recommended that the Richard Berry Jr. House be listed in the Columbus Register of Historic Properties.
The Richard Berry Jr. House is being nominated to the Columbus Register of Historic Properties under Criterion C, for its association with architect Roy Simms, an original member of the architectural firm now known as Schooley Caldwell; and Criterion D, for craftsmanship and Colonial Revival style design.
Fiscal Impact: No funding is required for this legislation.
