Explanation
BACKGROUND:
The Historic Resources Commission is charged, in part, 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 Bob Leighty, President, Merion Village Association, to list the Barrett Middle School (the original South High School), 345 East Deshler Avenue (Parcel #010-066697-00), on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties. Proper notice was given to the property owner as required by Chapter 3117, C.C., a public hearing was held, and favorable comments were provided by the representative of the owner, Columbus Public Schools, and the applicant. In addition, the required Owner Consent Form has been received approving of the proposed listing. Based on these positive comments, the Historic Resources Commission recommended that the Barrett Middle School be listed on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties.
Barrett Middle School is eligible for listing on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties under all five (5) criteria. Criterion 'A' for architectural significance; Criterion 'B' closely and publicly identified with a person(s) who contributed to the historical, architectural or cultural development of the city, state, or nation; Criterion 'C' for its identification with the work of an influential architect (possibly David Reibel); Criterion 'D' for craftsmanship and design, and Criterion 'E' for its association with important events which have influenced the development of the city, state, or nation.
Fiscal Impact:
No funding is required for this legislation.
