Julie briefed everyone on the history of the house. The house is 169 years old and it was built in 1855. The Women's Civic Club purchased the house in 1956. The house is on the National Register. It is now considered a non-profit organization. There are multiple upgrades that need to be done to the property including, roofing, chimney, handicap upgrades, bathroom repairs, and kitchen upgrades. Julie explained inJanuary 2024, she reached out to Ruth Davis- Rogers to explain the poor condition of the roof. Ruth connected Julie with the Maryland Historical Trust for information about state grants. Julie stated that the MHT required two estimates for the roof repair. The estimates that Julie received were $173,780 and $198,000 for a full replacement of their slate roof. She stated that there was no way that  3    the Woman's Civic Club could afford that and that the grants they were offering were not substantial enough to cover the costs. In April, they had a leaki in the house. Because they were in an emergency situation, they felt they needed to take action, and decided to replace the portion of the slate roof not facing the street with asphalt shingles instead of slate. The contactor they spoke to was able to get the roof fixed within the week. The stated that the roof that was replaced is not visible from the street and that slate shingles are still seen from the street. The asphalt The Commission had an open discussion on how the Women's Civic Club are not in compliance and the fact that this historic home and it is now compromised. Ruth explained that this historic district is recognized not only locally, but also 'by the State as well as the fact it has a federal designation as it is located in a National Register District. Ruth has been in contact numerous times since 2022 (see timeline) with members of the Women's Civic Club regarding roof issues and prior to that Kathy McKenny had also been in contact with them. The HPC process has been explained to members of this organization more than once and, if there was an economic hardship, the Civic Club should/could have mentioned to Ruth that they needed to consider alternate materials to replace roof. No mention was ever made that they may need to seek alternative materials as they always indicated they wanted to keep the slate on their roof. Due to the numerous conversations made over the years, The Women's Civic Club should have been aware of Historic District guidelines and the HPC process. Dr. Lincoln Wilkins questioned why they didn't discuss options with Durable Slate regarding patching the Slate Roof instead of replacing the entire roof. Ruth discussed that Durable Slate have done multiple roofs on Washington St that were repair/patch. Ms. Laurie Marchini explained this is problem because we need to protect our Historic District. The Women's Civic Club stated that they just had to do something immediately and take action to stop the leaks and didn't think about following City Code or including the HPC in their decision- making process. The commission all agreed there needs to be consequences for Ms. Laurie Marchini made the motion to call this installation of asphalt shingles an after-the-fact temporary fix/patch with the after-the-fact penalty of $500. This $500 will be returned to the Women's Civic Club once the repair is replaced with appropriate materials (be it slate or an approved asphalt substitute). Ms. Lynda Lambert seconded the motion.

This property is located int the Washington Street Historic District. This historic district consists of a six-block stretch of this prominently: sited thoroughfare that includes much oft the City of Cumberland's most significant civic, religious, and residential architecture. This wide street, with brick sidewalks shaded by old-growth trees, is architecturally and historically significant. These structures represent the heyday of Cumberland, when the city was the second largest in the state (next to Baltimore) and was recognized as an important center ofi industry and transportation. This house, located at 403 Washington Street, retains many ofi its original exterior features and commands attention. It was built between 1866-1869. The Haines have been working on this property since 2005. The City of Cumberland Code states that homeowners are to maintain and repair sidewalks in front of their home.

Nov worry.  Lexie recalls walking along Washington Street about 10 years ago and stopping in front of 403 Washington St. - the home at the corner of Chase Street that many people say  looks haunted.  "Isaid, 'This is my house. This house needs me; it wants my help,' " she said.  Fast forward to a little more than a year ago with the Haineses living in Loudoun County,  Va., the fastest growing area in the country.  Scott grew up in the Cumberland area but moved to Northern Virginia 18 years ago when he met Lexie, and the two stayed = that is until the second time it took him 10 minutes  to get out of their driveway to go to work.  Scott had enough and said it was time to move.  Lexie insisted if they moved to Cumberland, she wanted a home on Washington Street.  httpslwww.times-news.com/remarkable-restoration/article. BKale2-ehe00-aer6d1u002s4mm  1/6    9/16/24, 1:31PM 403.  Remarkable restoration Itimes-news.com  While looking at houses for sale on the Internet, Scott found one. It was none other than  Their sons Douglas, 8, and Stephen, 6, students at West Side Elementary, thought the house was "cool" the first time they saw it and explored it from the basement to the  tower that reaches into a fourth floor.  The family bought the home in March 2005 from the Golladay family.  "It felt like home from the moment we walked through the door," Lexie said.  "We fell in love with it immediately," Scott adds, despite wallpaper falling down, floors piled with 2 feet of trash and dirt everywhere. So far, 15 Dumpsters of just stuff" have  been removed from the house, and the family's not finished.  Safety concerns were addressed, including the replacement of a back porch and railings that had deteriorated. The roof was repaired and several trees were removed.  The home had been divided into apartments, blocking access to the back part, known as the "little house" where the servants' quarters were. That's been resolved by finding the  former doorways.  After living without a kitchen for nearly a year, it's almost finished with a new pine floor the Haineses stained three different times to get the dark wood look they wanted. Never having done anything to this scale, the Haineses say the work and thoughts of  projects ahead can be overwhelming.  They give much credit to their carpenter, Lowell Broadwater of White Horse Woodworks in Lonaconing, who rebuilt the porches and is custom building the kitchen cabinets  among a list pages long.  htpslwww.imesnewscomiemanaberestoatbwantce.PAatct-7ats00-0ele7-876dibi062b4.mm  2/6    9/16/24, 1:31PM  Remarkable boatonltimenewscon  "Ithink you have to be able to turn a blind eye," Lexie said. "This isn'tfor everyone....  You consciously have to not notice there's no wallpaper."  "Every now and then you have to say, This is ridiculous,' take a break and stop," Scott, a  self-employed computer specialist, said.  Information provided from the Maryland Historical Trust by Kathy McKenney, the city's historic planner and preservation coordinator, shows the house dates somewhere between 1866 and 1869.Albert Doub, a circuit court judge in the 1920s and vice president of the Commercial Savings Bank in the 30s, lived in the home, which once had  23 rooms.  By 1972,Arthur Golladay was listed as the owner.  Both the carriage and front entrances have stained-glass windows as does the library, which features images of authors Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Shakespeare and either Edgar Allen Poe or Sir Walter Scott, no one is quite sure. Lexie plans to place  floor-to-ceiling bookshelves throughout the room.  The grand living room features two large mirrors that Scott heard once were in the White House and that Jackie Kennedy tried to get them back. A piano in the room also came  with the home.  The family's dining room set fits perfectly in the room, which has a marbleized cast-iron fireplace that many are surprised survived the Civil War. It matches another in the home. Andrea De Palatis of Spectrum Design Services in Frostburg has helped whenever needed  but said the two have done pretty much everything on their own.  "T'm SO glad people like the Haineses have an appreciation for the architecture,"De Palatis said. "They found out what was real and true and good about it."  hitps/Nww.times-nowsmewscomfemanabierestoration/arice 84a1cb2t-7bd-5003-8de7-876d1bf0b2b4.htm!  3/6    9/16/24, 1:31PM  Remarkable restoration! IIt times-news.com  Lexie said they'll look for pieces that are suited to the home but in some cases she's set in her ways, meaning to her a dining room should be red and the hallways pale green. "There's not many changes we want to make,' . she said. "It's a brilliant house and  beautifully designed."  Sue Cerutti, an avid supporter of] historic renovations and the energy behind the Historic  Preservation Institute, called the home a stunning place."  "Iwould take this in a minute ifIwere your age," Cerutti, who has renovated a number of  homes and buildings, ,said, noting May is Historic Preservation Month.  The Haineses said they look forward to some day having everything finished.  "By the time the kids inherit it, it should be done," Lexie jokes. "Then they can divide it  back in two."
