Description

Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for roof replacement for shed dormer and dormer repair at 2635 N. Terrace Ave., in the North Point North Historic District for Dewey J. Caton and Patrick W. Schmidt, trustees.

Summary

The Milwaukee Historic Preservation Commission issued a Certificate of Appropriateness on September 2, 2026, for work at the Henry Harnischfeger Home, 2635 N. Terrace Avenue, in the North Point North Historic District. The project will replace the deteriorated shed dormer’s flat copper roof and repair or replace damaged wood framing, trim, crown molding, flashing, and windows, while retaining the dormer’s historic form and built-in gutters. The work affects the property owners and contractors and must follow approved materials, preservation guidelines, and any required permits. Changes require staff approval; noncompliant work may lead to correction orders or citations. The Wisconsin Historical Society conditionally approved the project for historic tax-credit purposes, subject to final documentation and cost limits.
