The Stick Style residence at 162 Circular Street was constructed circa 1887. The building at the rear of the property was built between 1900 and 1926. It appears on the 1926 Sanborn Map, confirming that the building is nearly 100 years old, and is an intact example of a vernacular auto garage. The house and garage are contributing buildings to the East Side Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Foundation is very pleased that the applicant explored the suggestion by the Foundation to relocate the historic garage rather than demolish it as initially proposed. While typically the garage should be placed at the rear of the lot, the Foundation understands the applicant’s need for parking and does not object to the proposed location. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration. Sincerely, C.
