4. Design Review Committee Matters. Click Here For Design Review Minutes A. Consideration of an Application For A Certificate Of Appropriateness For the Charlotte Woman's Club Clubhouse.
HLC Staff Recommendations are as follow: * Exterior- Elevations need to be supplied to the HLC so
that the changes to the rear of the building can be better understood. * Tile on the front porch should match the existing. * The heights of the parapet walls should not be altered. * No changes to the designs of the existing windows should
be allowed. * Interior - The interiors of the three front rooms of the
Charlotte Woman’s Club are critical interior elements, and every effort
should be made to preserve the original design of those rooms including the
architectural features (millwork, flooring, etc.,) and the interior space
itself. No new significant architectural features should be added to those
rooms, and the existing space should not be compromised with the addition of
new walls or doorways. Recognizing the need to make the property work in a new
capacity, the interior of the building beyond the three front rooms could be
significantly altered to accommodate a change of use. With the understanding
that some original features would be lost, the owner would be encouraged to
rehabilitate the building using practices that allow for the retention of as
much original material as possible and that new features be installed in
such a way that they could be removed in the future without damaging the
remaining original features. DR. MATTSON PRESENTED A MOTION SECONDED BY MR. JONES THAT A RECOMMENDATION BE MADE TO THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION THAT A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS BE APPROVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CHARLOTTE WOMAN’S CLUB, 1001 E. MOREHEAD ST., CHARLOTTE, N. C. THE COMMITTEE APPROVED THE MOTION WITH MR. ASBURY ABSTAINING IN THE VOTE. Click here to view elevations and floor plans showing the proposed changes to the building B.

The project would also include repair to the brickwork and rehabilitation of the interior. Signage above the marquee will be based on the design shown in archival photos. The blade sign will be differentiated from the marquee signage. Designs of new windows and doors will be based on windows shown in archival photos.
