The central interior brick chimney serves back-to-back fireplaces on each floor. An original one-story kitchen dining wing    is attached to the rear elevation. The two-story portion ofthe house retains a high degree ofhistoric integrity. On the interior the original mantles, doors, trim work, claw-foot bath tub, stairs, stair balustrade and newels remain. On the exterior original porch features, siding, trim, cornice, and windows remain. The interior ofthe one-story portion ofthe house has been altered with the addition ofmodern kitchen and utility room spaces and finishes. The exterior ofthe one-story portion ofthel house has also been altered with changes to the The house was constructed between February 1911 and August 1916. It appears that the house may have been built as a rental property. In 1920 the house was rented by' Thomas Hagler, a telegraph lineman, and his wife and young son. Sharing the house with the Haglers were boarders Kenneth Carroll, ai telegraph operator, and Over the years the house was occupied by a series oftenants. By 1937 thel house was occupied by Richard C.

Bennie Waters, a salesman at Thomas & Howard Company Wholesale Grocers, his wife and As you know, on March 12, 2014I met on site with Chris Crew ofthe Division of Emergency Management; two representatives from the county; John Rodman from the City Planning Dept.; the City building inspector; and the owner. Chris and I crawled under the house. We did note termite damage in one corner ofthe east and rear sills and the floor joists were undersized give the span. There is also some differential settlement.

The SHPO can get in and document it one the county owns it. The county will (and apparently has) submit an application to the HPC for ac COA to demolish the building (Chris may attend the HPC meeting). The county and Chris's group will stay the demolition for a year to allow us to work worth aj preservation organization(s) and the city planning staffto attempt to market the property for relocation (Chris did note a vacant lot for sale nearby).

The city could also wait until the next time the street is scheduled to be resurfaced and use the funds for asphalt removal instead of resurfacing.

There seems to only be about one quarter to one half inch of asphalt ont top oft the brick, sO it should not be difficult to remove.

He: stated that this application to FEMA came through the County, but they included the City ofWashington. He explained that with this particular application they were originally trying to elevate the home. Mr. Rodman stated that they did a cost analysis of what it would cost to elevate thel house above thei flood hazard or base flood elevation, to see ifit was feasible. After looking at thel house'sf foundation and some oft the elements under the house it was determined by the applicant that it was not feasible enough to elevate the structure. Mr. Rodman stated that the cost analysis came to $106,000 to elevate the house. He stated that he meet with the Building Inspection, the FEMA representative, John Wood from the State Historic Office, and the gentleman who did the cost analysis at thel house.

He stated that al better option would bet to delay iti for 3 months or soto see if they can try and find al buyer. Mr. Rodman stated that he didn't think al buyer would come forward because the house is in such poor condition and the house would have to be moved. The Commission stated its reluctance in tearing down another historic house. Seth Shoneman stated that he was interested in what. John Wood from the state office has to say about the request. Mr. Rodman stated that staff anticipated information from him, but they did not receive it. The Commission discussed delaying the decision in order to receive Mr. Wood's comments. Ms. Brennan stated that when she spoke with Mr. Wood over the phone he did say that Preservation North Carolina would work with the state in order to potentially find al buyer. Mr. Rodman stated that FEMA will not elevate the home at the cost, so any buyer would have to elevate the house at their own cost and he doesn'tfeel anyone will bei interested in putting that amount of money into the elevation. He stated that what they could hope for is for someone to purchase thel house andi movei it and he doesn't know if thati is a good idea either.
