Staff noted she will look into it but she did not believe that we would receive a reimbursement of the amount we already paid for the space and the caterer.The Commission also discussed having only the award recipients, staff,the Chairman and the Mayor only at the event and having the awards streamed online.Therefore,this reduces the amount of people in attendance and may allow for plaque recipients to attend as well.Staff stated that at the next regular scheduled meeting that she will update the Commission on any changes and that at that time they can decide what to do for the event.

The David.C.Cook Publishing House property meets Elgin Municipal Code;"Historic Preservation Ordinance"Criterion C;because it identifies with.David;C.Cook,significant to the City Of Elgin's development in the 19"'.and 20th century as the second largestemployer and'flow thelongest continual company in Elgin's history. An excerpt from Elgin Today,1904: David C. Cook, Editor-in-Chief and President of the David C. Cook'Publishing Company, was born.in East.Worcester,New York in 1850.His father was a,minister of the Methodist. Episcopal Church.As a boy,.Mr.Cook was greatly interested in the Sunday school;attending not only that Of his own church,but usually one and sometimes two other schools each Sunday. Since boyhood he has.been an aggressive and a successful aid to the Sunday school, church and temperance cause.At the age Of 17 years he was appointed teacher of his first Sunday school class,in Ward's Rolling MillsSundaySchool ifn Chicago.:Soon afterwards he offered his services as teacher in Militiaukee Avenue Mission and Wicker Park Sunday schools,and for four years following was most of the time teachinglin two or three schools.each Sabbath; while his evenings were mostly given up to visiting members of his classes. The unusual success which Mr. Cook has attained as a publisher1of Sunday school literature is undoubtedly due in some measure to the fact that i is'whole life has been devoted to that work. 1 After the great Chicago fire he'began to develop:the Sunday school field on the north side. Witnessing the distress of those about him he threw himself heartily into relief and mission work in one of the poorest sections.of the burned district. During the fall of 1871 he left his home;and with three otheryoung men whom hehad persuaded to co-operate with him,rented rooms.ini this field and gave all his spare time, including evenings and more Or less weekdays.and Sundays, to relief and mission'work, 'conducting neighborhood prayer meetings,providing for sick and distressed and otherwise helping where help was needed. • During the winter following he organized and superintended his first Sunday school, "Everybody's Mission."This school was opened in O.Gernian theater_and beer hall,on North Avenue,in what.was then one of the roughest neighborhoods in the.city.Afterwards,a lot was leased and a building erected for the school on an adjacent street. With an attendance of 350 to 450, and without aid from any church orsociety,he maintained_this school fora period of five years and until nearby churches were'able to occupy the field:. Besides "Everybody's.Mission"he started and superintended the Nortli Avenue Mission,Lake View Mission-andLake View Union'Sunday school in-Chicago.and Grace Sunday school in Elgin,besides:several smaller schools.Much Of the time for ten years he superintended.two schools, and some of the time three schools,each Sabbath. His first publications were prepared for use in his own Sunday.schools,but as other schools showed a desire for the same helps much"of his time was soon given up to providing for what ,proved to be a general demand. Keeping constantly in touch with practical Sunday school work Mr. Cook has been able to.so for anticipate.the:needs and possibilities that his lessen helps and supplies have served as.an impetus to-other publishers and cis an inspiration to the Sunday school world in general.As a publisher he has relied entirely upon the merits Of his publications to secure.a-market;unlike most other publishers in this line,-who,work under the auspiices-ofsome church or society and-depend on this constituency to maintain patronage. The larger part of the profits of the'business has beer?continually employed for the improvement of the publications and the lessening.of their cost to Sunday.schools. When.Mr. Cook first entered seriously-and vigorouslylinto the business of publishing Sunday school literature,his establishment was in Chicago.As the business increased there was a demand for space,that could.not be satisfied withoutl removing to a new!creation. Accordingly in 1882,,the entire business,excepting the-Chicago salesroori; was removed to Elgin;. As an employer Mr:Cook has always been accorded the sympatheticloyaity-of his employees, many of whom have.grown up and grown old with the business.. Since coming to Elgin he has shown himself a public spirted citizen,,and.although prevented by stress of business from;taking any active part in city affairs; he has contributed generously to numerous charities dnd enterprises:3 David married Miss Marguerite.Murat-on July 7,1853 in Chicago,'Illinois and had two children, George Evans Cook born in 1875 and David Caleb Cook,the Second in 1881. By 1885,the"Cook Mansion was finally built located at 105N.N.Gifford Street!at a-costof'$10,000:The home is considered a significant structure to the Elgin Historic Di�triet,which was. d'esignated-a local historic district in 1981.'David passed away in his home on July,31, 1917 at 78 years old. Marguerite followed him in death 14.years later in-1941, David C.Cook was not only well'known in Elgin"but he.was also an internationally known publisher for his six weekly and twenty quarterly publications were circulated.to,church societies and Sunday schools across the world. He also had branches of the publishing house located-in Chicago(36,Washington-Street),New York City(146 Fifth Avenue)and-Boston(ipi Tremont"Street). 3"Elgin Today,"1904,'Lowrie&Block Publishers,1903. 20.06.030 CRITERION D—That it embodies distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style valuable for the study of a period,type,method of construction or use of indigenous materials The David C,Cook Publishing House's Main Building and wings meet Elgin Municipal.Code, "Historic'Preservetion Ordinance"Criterion D,because it is a locally,exceptional example of a Colonial Revival style and the last remaining,significant,turn-of-the-century industrial architecture of this style.in Elgin. The David C.Cook Publishing House's Main Building was designed by Elgin architect,David E. Postle in the Colonial Revival style and constructed in 1'901.The building,is set back from the street providing an expansive front lawn with a crescent shaped sidewalk,a historic design feature of the property.The two-story brick building faces east and has,a rectangular footprint, a symmetrical facade,and a hipped roof with a pedimented front gable.A round portico contains six fluted columns with Ionic capitals and placed centrally on the primary(east)facade with the pediment being held up with five fluted,Ionic'columns at the second floor directly above the'portico.Two one-story wings flank the centri!,two-story structure with rectangular footprints spanning almost across the entire property.The wings.contain a hipped roof and are. built in the same red-orange brick with simplified details. The central,two-story.building's(east)primary facade features symmetrically arranged fenestration and a limestone beltcourse between the first story and the second story that continues on all elevations.A wood dentiled cornice with large eaves ornaments the primary and secondary elevations.Many of the windows onthe primary façade feature:limestone sills and flat arch lintels with limestonevoussoirs and a keystone with the exception of the,four windows beneath the pedimented gable which contain a flatarch with decorative brick work laid above the lintel.The central building also is flanked by a two-story linked passageway that is pushed back from the main facade that connects to the adjacent,one-story wings. Historically, the links were one-story in height but were enlarged and heightened in 1914 as the publishing house expanded.The existing linked passageways carii'the same elaborate details found on the central building with the inclusion of a highly decorative,limestone door surround design flanked with Ionic stone pilasters,and decorative lintel topped with an elaborately carved half circle stone pediment. Remnants of the original one-story link are still visible including the door surround and two flanking windows. A historic one-story portico with a flat roof is placed On a raised landing that aligns with the foundation height approximately 40 inches above grade.The porch is that of a half circle and features six classical,fluted columns with Ionic capitals that are even spaced around the landing. The wood, Ionic columns support a wood entablature andornamented with dentils.Centrally located within.this portico is the historic double-leaf wood entrance doors with decorative glass panels set within a flat arch historic stone doorsurrourid and topped with a transom with true divided lites. Flanking the entryway are one double-hu I g wood windows with flat arch lintels with limestone voussoirs and keystone as seen in man of the windows on the primary and secondary elevations of the central building.Above the portico,placed on top of the limestone beltcourse at the second floor are three loniccolurnns With.two Ionic pilasters that are evenly spaced holding up the dentiled entablature to the pedimented roof;.Directly'behind the second floor columns are four double=hung wood windows with.a patterned.pane,in the upper sash and single pane'below:The windows are topped with a flat arch lintel with decorative brick work. Within the pedimented front gable is the David C.Cook seal made of stone and placed' prominently at the gable's center: Flanking the central two-story building is a north and south wing,.almost identical in.design..The south wing contains 12 bays whereas the north,wing contains 14 bays.Both.wingsdisplay a pattern of brick pilasters separating each bay with grouped or paired windows,.Simplistic one- :over-one double-hung windows are found at each bay and are placed beneath a limestone.lintel and.a fixed transom and are separated with brick muntins providing visual contrasttoeach bay.. Historically, both wings contained only eight bays and are delineated with the use of paired windows that provided,an end feature to the wings:When the publishing,house needed to expand the building in 1907,an,additional four bays were added to the south..Wing and six bays were added to the north wing that mimic the original design.Three cupolas are also found at theiow sloped hipped roofs and are evenly spaced. The design features found at the primary(east)elevation are simplified at the rear(west) elevation.A small,hipped dormer is found at.the central lbuilding's roof that aligns with the pedimented gable and a limestone-beitcourse is still present delineating the first floor from the second. rear bay window protrudes outward at the'realik present to allow for additional light into the space'beyond;.The windows are simplified at this elevation and consist of one-over-one double- hungs With minimalistic lintels:.The bays and window fenestration'found.at the wings, however, appear to mimic those at the front,(east)elevation with the exception of utilitarian loading docks and brick additions that onceprovided access to the rear of the property and th.e factory buildings beyond. Due to'the topography of the property;the Rear Factory Building is not visible from'Greve Avenue.The historic saw-tooth roof building is still present,(`eight:compartments)*built of light colored brick,six over six double-hung windows:and single door entries.The additional south two compartments were built in 1911 and lastly,in 1914 in'the same design as the original six compartments:The Rear Factory,Building is not connected to the Main Building except through a covered passageway.Although several later non-historic additions have'.been constructed after the 1950s,the overall utilitarian design.of the historic factory is still present. As stated in Elgin Today—1904: The,buildings, which are believed to have no superior in this country for convenience, adaptability and comfort, are:of one-story construction, with the exception of the center'building in front„which has the editorial offices on:the second floor: .The front buildings.are entirely. separate from those in the rear,and are connected bya in passageway; The buildings in the rear ore absolutely fire-proof being built of brick,,with roofs of corrugated iron and glass • supported on steel girders.All.the floors are of hardwood, laid on solid beds of gravel. This arrangement'affordsa perfect foundation for pressed and other heavy machinery. The central building.and south wing are devoted entirely to office purposes.In the north wing ore the composing room and electrotype foundry.,The rear Or main factory buildings,. are 167 feet deep.by 252 feet wide, and afford room for the power plant,stOck room,press room, bindery,mailroom, merchandise and shipping rooms.These.buildings are.divided into six fire-proof compartments,protected by brick walls and iron doors. The power plant consists Of a battery of four 80-ho4 power boilers,three:of which furnish sufficient steam for power purposes and for heating in the coldest weather,thus leaving one .boiler in reserve at all times. There are two high-speed,100-horse-power engines,each belted to a 60 kilowatt,250-volt dynamo, either of which is capable of furnishing light and power for the entire plant.

Our clients have asked us to submit this letter to the City so as to document their position related to historic preservatio tilI of the Elgin campus. Our clients have occupied this property since 1901. They have preserved the buildings for nearly 6 generations and have been a contributing corporate citizen of Elgin for the entire 118-year term. At the pinnacle of operations,the plant employed 350 employees and conducted printing,shipping, and warehousing operations within the industrial warehouse, and the corporate offices occupied the office wings fronting on Grove Avenue. The neighboring homes were originally developed by David C Cook with the express intention of providing quality living quarters for the hundreds of employees who once occupied the publishing plant and operations. In 1901, the idea of living within walking distance of such a prominent industrial employer was very attractive to home purchasers. Times have changed. David C Cook is now an international publishing firm shipping Christian literature around the world. Printing operations are now conducted elsewhere and corporate headquarters were relocated to Colorado Springs more than two decades ago. The unused office wings that were once leased out to Sherman Hospital for satellite facilities have remained vacant and unmarketable for nearly a decade since the hospital relocated to Randall Road. And the Day Robert&Morrison,P.C. A Professional Corporation Mr. William Cogley Page 2 February 7, 2020 warehouse occupancy has been reduced to a staff of 25 people utilizing only a fraction of the total 250,000 sf of industrial warehousing space. Access to the property is limited to exclusively residential(collector streets, so the neighborhood has an understandable resistance to any concept of major redevelopment of the property for an industrial use compatible with zoning imposed by the City and compatible with structures for the purpose for which they were designed and built. Because the buildings were designed and used exclusively for industrial and office occupation; the structures are uniquely unsuitable for repurposing for residential occupancy. A developer's 2006 proposal to preserve the center office building as part of a residential reuse of the property was strongly opposed by the neighborhood over objections to density, setbacks and loss of green space. Extensive damage has been experienced within the office wings over the past decade to the point where the offices are no longer safely habitable. Cost of restoration has been estimated by consultants to David C Cook at up to$4.0M. The value to David C Cook is in the land, and the continuing presence of the buildings is a limitation on marketability. The optimum value in this site is to demolish all structures and sell the land for redevelopment at its highest and best use. David C Cook would then relocate to contemporary,more efficient warehousing space elsewhere in the area and utilize the revenue from the sale of the Grove Avenue property to pay for relocation',and furtherance of their not for profit mission to equip the world with Christ Centered Resources (books, music, and educational curriculum). Historic preservation as is now proposed by the City of Elgin is an economic threat to David C Cook and their mission.Compulsory preservation/restoration of the existing campus would impose a devastating economic injury on the owner if the community decides that David C Cook should unilaterally underwrite the cost.But that does not mean that David C Cook wishes to thwart efforts by either neighbors or the community to explore the economic viability of preservation that would be economically neutral to David C Cook. David C Cook is prepared to assure the City that demolition of the buildings will be delayed until no sooner than the end of June 2020. They are prepared to submit this assurance to provide the City or any of the neighborhood groups that might be so inclined to work directly with qualified developers who could submit detailed definitive proposals to purchase the David C Cook property at market value while completing a development plan that would be compatible with the neighborhood and nevertheless find an economically viable way to preserve the structures or parts of the structures. This accommodation is proposed witl the express goal of permitting the preservationists a reasonable time period to explore options as to how preservation might viably be accomplished without inflicting the cost and damages of preservation unilaterally upon David C Cook. Mr. William Cogley Page 3 February 7, 2020 Our clients are willing to afford access to the structure at mutually convenient times between now and May 1st to complete inspections and basic due diligence. To this extent, the office wings are not really safe for open viewing and access and inspection will require execution of a waiver of liability form,hard hats, and protective clothing for any inspections. But if there are parties at the City or working for neighborhood groups that want the opportunity to satisfy themselves as to the current condition of the property our clients are willing to do so. If the City is interested in taking up this offer, we suggest that the public hearing on the landmark application filed by the City should be delayed until the 'June second meeting of the Heritage Commission. This should allow the parties to delay the expense of preparation for what could become an expensive public hearing. The Illinois Constitution is very different from the US Constitution in addressing the prohibition against "takings" without just compensation. The Illinois Constitution not only prohibits "takings"without just compensation,but also prohibits the City of Elgin from "damaging"private property without just compensation. Neither the City nor David C Cook wants to rush into a public hearing on compulsory landmarking if a short delay can allow both sides to determine if preservation can be accomplished without unconstitutional economic injury to the property owner.

Marc Marc Mylott,AICP Director of Community Development City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, IL 60120 847-931-5939 mylott m@cityofelgin.org, 2 ATTACHMENT 10 1 Summary of findings and opinion in regard to the nomination of the property at 850 North Grove Avenue, commonly known as the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building, for designation as a City of Elgin landmark prepared for City of Elgin Heritage Commission by Timothy N. Wittman, Architectural Historian and Preservationist August 30, 2020 This information and opinion regarding the proposed district was prepared during August 2020 by Timothy Wittman, who serves on the faculty of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he teaches courses in architectural history and historic preservation for students on the graduate and undergraduate levels. He has also worked as a consultant, conducting primary research on architectural and landscape preservation projects, since 1996. This work has included writing and public presentations in Chicago and its suburbs for architects, engineers, public agencies and private preservation organizations concerning landmark designations and for restoration projects. Previous to his career as a teacher and consultant, Wittman spent more than 12 years on,the staff of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks as a Preservation Specialist. One aspect of his work for the Commission was as co-author and Field Coordinator of the Chicago Historic Resources Survey(CHRS), a comprehensive survey of historic properties throughout the City of Chicago.A copy of my resume is attached. Assignment This report will examine the buildings at 850 North Grove Avenue, Elgin, Illinois, commonly known as the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building, designed by architect David E. Postle and built in 1901.The property under consideration includes the publishing plant, shipping facilities and offices of the David C. Cook Publishing Company, which has occupied the building since the construction of its earliest buildings, beginning in 1901. This study was made using on-site documentation and historic research in order to assess the potential of the nominated building for landmark designation, in the context of the accepted standards of historic preservation practice.The goal is to determine whether the nominated structure meets the Criteria for designation as a landmark according to the criteria established by the Municipal Code of the City of Elgin, Illinois. f1 10 9 Executive Summary The Subject Building was originally built at the beginning of the 20th century as an industrial facility containing offices, a printing plant, a bindery, warehousing and shipping and receiving docks, along with the necessary support facilities for their operation. The primary facade of the structure, the office complex facing North Grove Avenue, is a brick structure in the Classical Revival style. Built in 1901, this building housed the general offices of the company, as well as spaces for correspondence with clients and composing rooms, where typesetting machines prepared the text for publishing. This building extends for approximately 547 feet on the Grove Avenue frontage, and it has a deep set-back from the street with historic landscaping. The production, storage and shipping buildings stand behind this frontage to the west. While a significant part of the production facility was built at the same time as the office portion, six additions, dated from 1911 to 2000, were made to the production and shipping areas of the building, deemed necessary as the business expanded and changed over time.These stand on the west side of the property and are largely not visible from North Grove Avenue, due to the presence of the office building. The production, storage and shipping buildings do not share the style, materials or relationship to a streetscape that so clearly defines the office portion of the building. The complex also once included an art studio building, to produce graphics for its publications, a coal shed, to store heating fuel, and an employee restaurant, all of which have been demolished.Additional freestanding structures on the property include the Oil House and Well House, both built in 1901 and surviving at the time of this writing, and the private garage, built in the 1940s, which is also still extant. Lastly, the property includes an extensive, open landscaped area to the north of all of these buildings,which is free and clear of buildings. By a thorough examination of the nominated structure, it is my opinion that this Subject Building meets several of the criteria for designation as a landmark pursuant to sections 20.06.030, titled "Criteria for Consideration of a Nomination," of the Municipal Code of Elgin. Statement of Investigation By examining the history of the Subject Building, its history, its design, its relationship to the streetscape and to its neighboring structures, a thorough assessment of their potential for designation was conducted. This assessment was made by applying the criteria for landmark designation established in the relevant sections of the Municipal Code of Elgin. The investigation undertaken in this effort to apply the accepted standards of historic preservation to the Subject Building principally involved research online. Research in certain library collections, which needs to be done in person, was not possible at this time due to the limitations caused by the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus. Sources consulted included the -the Historic Resources Survey of Elgin, prepared by Historic Certification Consultants in 1996; -the "Resolution recommending the preservation of David C. Cook Publishing Company Building, 850 North Grove Avenue," dated June 6, 2006; -the nomination form for the D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District, designated an as an Elgin Landmark District on March 14, 2007; 2 of 19 -a thorough review of the City Code of Elgin in regard to its preservation initiatives, particularly Chapters 20.06.030 through 20.08 (Ord. G22-05, 2015) -"Application for Individual Landmark Designation" prepared by the City of Elgin for its Heritage Commission, pursuant to the nomination by the City Council in Resolution No. 20-12, January 22, 2020; and, -online resources regarding the lives and careers of the significant individuals associated with the Subject Building, including the client for the building, David C. Cook, his superintendant of the business, George Richardson, and its architect David Postle. This investigation also included a site inspection of the Subject Building on August 18, 2020, with documentation made on-site, and a neighborhood survey to establish its context.The results of this investigation follow. Analysis of Designation Criteria According to the City Code of Elgin,under 20.06.030, "Criteria for Consideration of a Nomination,"the introductory paragraphs state that"A nominated structure, property or area must be fifty (50)years of age on the date of designation unless it is an integral part of a designated historic district or if it has otherwise acheived significance of exceptional importance."This section further specifies that: "The heritage commission shall, upon such investigation as it deems necessary, make a determination as to whether a nominated structure, property or area meets at least six (6) of the following criteria.The heritage commission may vote to proceed with as few as four(4) criteria if the property is identified with a person, or persons, who significantly contributed to the development of the community, county, state, or country, or if the property is nominated for inclusion within a thematic historic district." The Municipal Code then itemizes the eleven criteria it has defined for the designation of sites, structures, buildings, objects, or districts within the City of Elgin as legally protected landmarks, and lists them alphabetically from A. to K. In regard to the yntroductory paragraph, the nominated property under consideration here, at 850 North Grove Avenue, was built 119 years ago, clearly qualifying it under the 50 year age requirement. In regard to the second paragraph, requiring an examination of the criteria and an assessment of the qualifications of the Subject Building in regard to the criteria, follows. However, before examining the criteria in detail, it is interesting to note the extremely high barrier to designation established in Elgin's municipal code, which requires that a nominee for landmark designation meet 6 of eleven criteria for designation. In this reviewer's experience, no municipality requires that a building, site, structure, or district nominated for designation meet more than three of the criteria in an enabling ordinance.A brief survey of some other nearby municipalities confirms this assessment: The City of Evanston, under chapter 29-0-18, section 2-8-4, establishes 10 criteria for landmark designation, but only requires that a nominated property meet one. The Village of Oak Park has seven criteria in its preservation ordinance, requiring that duly one be met for designation. The City of Naperville requires that a nominated landmark'be ;ver 50 years old and additionally that it meet one of its 5 criteria (section 6-11-3:2.2). The City of Chicago includes no age requirement 3 of 19 but requires that a nominee for designation qualify under 2 of its seven criteria. In addition, the National Register of Historic Places requires that a nominee be over 50 years old; but it just has four criteria for listing, and only requires that a nominee meet one criterion. This is by no means a critique of Elgin's preservation ordinance. On the contrary, by establishing such a high threshhold for landmark designation, the ordinance sets a very rigorous standard for designation, assuring that only the most significant buildings, sites, structures, objects and districts would be designated as Elgin landmarks. In light of these requirements, any nominee for landmark designation in Elgin needs to rise to a truly high level of significance. With this in mind, I have conducted a review of the criteriaifor landmark designation as established in the "Historic Preservation Ordinance" of the'Municipal of Code of Elgin, section 20.06.030, in regard to the Subject Building, the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building located at 850 North Grove Avenue in Elgin, Illinois. In my professional estimation, the Subject Building meets nine of the eleven criteria for local designation of a landmark as defined in the Municipal Code of the City of Elgin.An evaluation of the Subject Building in relation to the criteria follows: i 20.06.030 Criterion A: That it has character, interest or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics of the community, county, state, or country and retains the integrity to be highly representative of the relevant area's social and cultural history; The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building was essential to the development of the City of Elgin as one of its biggest industrial concerns and one of its largest employers from the 1880s to the 1950s. The scale of the business made Elgin one of the largest centers for the distribution of printed materials in the state, and when it became necessary to expand the business with the construction of its new facility at 850 North Grove Avenue in 1901, which is the focus of this study, the company and its owner demonstrated their civic engagement by subdividing the land across the street for worker's residences, making his worker's commute a simple matter of crossing the street. This residential area was included in the D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District, designated by the City Council of Elgin in 2007, in part for their designs and in part for their association with David C. Cook and his publishing company. By providing housing for his workers within close proximity to their place of employment, Cook demonstrated his willingness to treat his employees with dignity, providing an amenity that was no longer common after the legal battles surrounding ownership and control of the Town of Pullman during the 1890s. It is also noteworthy that Cook further demonstrated care for his workers by adopting, first, the idea of reducing the number of hours of labor expected of each worker from 10 hours a day to 9, and later, by 1911, to an i'8-hour work day. This was a humane gesture from the owner to his employees, made available Ito them long before most workers were to see similar reforms. For these reasons the Subject Building demonstrates the history of industry in Elgin, and also of the reforms that became characteristic of industrial worke is relationships with their employers during the early 20th century. It therefore demonstrates character, interest and value as an exemplar of the development of the community of Elgin and the State of Illinois, and of the labor history that is so important to the growth of the Midwest inj general, and it retains the integrity necessary to be highly representative of that history. The David C. Cook Publishing Company 4of19 Building therefore meets the requirements of Criterion A of the Elgin Municipal Code under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion B: That its location was a site of a significant local, county, state or national event or that it was the location of a series of ievents or activities that contributed in a significant fashion to the community's identity, and/or social, cultural or economic history; No evidence has come to light to suggest that the Subject Building, or the site on which it stands, was associated with any significant local, county) state or national historic event as defined herein. Therefore, the Subject Building does not meet Criterion B of the Elgin Municipal Code under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion C: That it is identified with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the development of the community, county, state, or country; The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building is identified with the founder of the business, David Caleb Cook, an important figure in the history of Elgin from the late 19th century well into the 20th century. Born in 1850 and raised the son of a Methodist Episcopal minister in New York state, he grew up with an intense interest in the value of religious education, particularly through the Sunday School movement and missionary work. He was also an advocate for churches and for temperance during his long and active lifetime. He began teaching Sunday School at the age of 17 in Chicago, where he eventually taught in several similar programs simultaneously.After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 his work also extended to relief, providing food, medicine and clothing to those who had lost their personal possessions in the conflagration. He eventually established missions in what are now Old Town, Wicker Park, Lake View and, by about 1875, in Elgin. His work brought to his attention the lack of published material on the subjects he wished to teach, leading him to begin publishing on a very small scale, starting with materials for his own Sunday Schools, called "Everybody's Mission."The dirth of available materials caused other Sunday Schools to contact him for printed matter on the subject, and a business was born. His company would be unusual due to the fact that it was independent of any religious organization, creating a curriculum that would appeal to a broad spectrum of Protestant congregations, their Sunday Schools and their missions. Cook himself was the'Editor-in-Chief of his company, keeping a close eye on the spirit and tone of the materials that the company that bore his name would distribute. The business started in Chicago but grew quickly and needed more space for a reasonable price. In 1882 the company relocated to Elgin, where its operations continued to expand beyond the local market, eventually to fulfill the needs of churches',throughout the United States and beyond. The continuing expansion of the business led to the opportunity to build an entirely new and larger facility at 850 North Grove Avenue in Elgin, in 1901. By the middle of the 20th century, the D.C. Cook Company was reputed to be the largest publisher of Sunday School literature on earth. 5of19 David C. Cook became an internationally-known figure in his field of Sunday School publishing. During his lifetime, branches of his business were located in Boston and New York, as well as in Chicago and Elgin. His home, at 105 North Gifford Street in Elgin, is a significant contributor to the designated Elgin Historic District. It was in that building that he died in 1927, leaving a legacy of success in business and religious teaching that touched the lives of people around the world. The company he founded, the David C. Cook Publishing Company, continues in business today, over 140 years since it started, providing educational materials to Christian religious organizations in dozens of countries and in a wide variety of languages. David Caleb Cook was a prominent citizen, business owner, and religious figure who made significant contributions to the social, cultural and economic history of the City of Elgin, the State of Illinois, and the United States, and his reputation certainly qualifies him and the building he built at 850 North Grove Avenue under Criterion C of the Municipal Code of Elgin under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion D: That it embodies distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style valuable for the study of a period, type, method of construction or use of indigenous materials; The office building and wings of the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building, facing North Grove Avenue, provide an exemplary demonstration of the colonial revival style as practiced in the United States. The colonial revival is a restrained and provincial version of neo-classical design, which is based on the architectural forms developed in ancient Greece and Rome. Initially used in America during the colonial period before the Revolution, buildings that demonstrate this design vocabulary feature columns, entablatures, engaged pilasters, unique window framing, cupolas and pediments.All of these features appear in the design of the Subject Building. The dominant feature of the facade is the main entrance plortico on the central section, which consists of a semi-circular plan stair leading up to a landing and the portal.All of this is framed by six fluted Ionic order columns in wood, supporting an entablature detailed with dentil moldings and a roof. Decorative glass panels are set in the pair of doors, which are framed by a arch of limestone voussoirs.A transom appears above the,portal, within the arch. Throughout the principal facade, the building demonstrates an extremely high degree of integrity. Original ornamental details in brick, stone and wood, the cupolas on the roofs of the wings, and even many of the original double-hung sash windows remain intact. Although they are taller than the office building on the primary front of the property, the factory buildings behind and to its west are not visible from Grovel Avenue due to the topography, which is sloping downward toward the Fox River, only a few yards away from the back of the structure. The factory buildings are utilitarian and demonstrate a type that is, by plan, elevation and structure, typical of buildings built for this use at the beginning of the 20th century. The Colonial Revival style is also known for symmetry in plan and elevation, a feature that appears on the central section of the office building, where the axis that defines this symmetry passes through the entrance and the peak of the pediment on the facade. The wings, true to the characteristics of the style, are shorter than the central section, but share ornamental details 6 of 19 with it and with each other. They are not, however, the same length due to later additions of differing sizes: today the north wing is 235 feet long, extending for 14 bays, while the south wing is 202 feet long, or 12 bays, a difference of 33 feet(14%).Although this throws the symmetry of the facade off slightly, the materials, colors, textures, size and design details of the additions are perfectly in keeping with the original fabric and design of the wings, making their presence difficult to see, and contributing to the seemingly seamless character of the entire facade. In spite of the slight asymmetry caused by the different lengths of the wings, their enormous size, extending for a total of 547 feet along the North Grove Avenue frontage, and the placement of plantings, particularly large trees, in the landscape in frontlof the building, make it diffiicult to see that the wings are not quite symmetrical. The style lends a sense of longevity and permanence to the building and, in spite of its modest scale, standing only 2 1/2 stories above grade at its tallest point in the center section, lends it a sense of monumentality. The prominence given the building by its design establishes the character of the area in which it stands, lending it a sense of history and traditional aesthetics that are rarely associated with buildings built for manufacturing purposes. The office building and wings of the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building embody the distinguishing features of the variation on Classical Revival design known as the Colonial Revival, making it valuable as an example of study of a period, and particularly of its type, since it is a rare example of this style applied to an industrial buildling. For these reasons, the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building meets the requirements of Criterion D of the Municipal Code of Elgin under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." In addtion, the historic factory buildings that were part of the original 1901 design and construction share in the importance of the Subject Building. The factory buildings consist of 6 compartments with metal frame skylight roofs, standing to the west of the office building, along with the two additional compartments of the same design,',added on their south side in 1911 and 1914 respectively, they are all intact historic structures. Their angled roofs, sometimes called • 'saw-tooth' roofs, are designed to capture indirect, northerly light, which was and is still evenly distributed throughout the interior. The orientation of these windows eliminated direct sunlight, allowing for maximum lighting utility in a work environment year-round. The roofs in particular are significant historic features that demonstrate the best and most utilitarian of manufacturing design elements in the period of their construction.As important structures that embody distinguishing characteristics of industrial architecture, and that are valuable for the study of their period, type, and method of construction, the factory buildings within the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building meet the requirements of C nterion D of the Municipal Code of Elgin under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." Lastly, the secondary buildings that housed support functions for the factory and offices are structures that also survive largely intact.They include the Oil House and the Well House, both of which date from the original design and construction in 1901, and which stand behind the office building at the north end of the property, and the Private Garage, which was built at the south vehicular entrance to the property just off of Lincoln Avenue in about 1940.All of these are historic structures that contribute to the landmark qualities of the nominated property, and all retain high degrees of integrity of their historic fabric. Individually and collectively, they demonstrate the utilitarian characteristics of industrial design, and contribute to the quality of the interpretive and educational value for the study of this per!od and type of construction, making the the Oil House, Well House and Private Garage secondary buildings within the David C. 7 of 19 Cook Publishing Company Building meet the requirements of Criterion D of the Municipal Code of Elgin under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion E: That it is identified as the work of a master builder, designer, architect or landscape architect whose work has influenced the development of the community, county, state, or country; The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building was built in 1901 from plans prepared by architect David E. Postle.A native of Ohio, born in 1863, Postle moved to Urbana, Illinois to pursue a degree in architecture at the University of Illinois.;Finding work in a Chicago architect's office led him to his eventaully founding his own firm, around the year 1890. Given that Chicago was the fastest growing city in America at the time, and with the profile of the city and the entire region being enhanced by the success of the World's Columbian Expostion of 1893, it was an advantageous period in which to begin an architectural practice in the area. Postle often designed small groups of buildings in close proximity to one another; among his earliest known works was a collection of four Queen Anne style single family residences at 903 to 909 South Oakley Avenue in Chicago, built in.1886. In 1892 Postle designed his first building in Elgin, which was a home for George Richardson, the superintendent of the David C. Cook Publishing Company. He married Richardson's daughter, Georgia Richardson, on October 24, 1893, moving to into the house he designed for his in-laws. Postle quickly established a reputation in his newly adopted home town, where he was initially involved in residential design. Once he moved;to Elgin, he was responsible for the designs of workers apartments, built for the most part in th{e 1890s, and today located in the designated Elgin Historic District. In partnership with Gilbert M. Turnbull and William C. Jones, his firm became the most active in Elgin, designing schools, churches, government buildings,'and residential buildings throughout the west suburban region. In Elgin, Postle designed more than 20 homes, including his own at 54-56 North Liberty Street in 1903. Postle's career in Elgin ended with his move to Los Angeles in 1921, where he continued his career, partnering with his sons, David E. Postle, Jr., and George R. Postle, until his death in 1939. One of Postle's most prominent buildings is the Pattington Apartments on Lake Shore Drive at Irving Park Road in Chicago, built in 1902-03.This colonial revival style complex, covering nearly 3 acres of land fronting Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan, was a celebrated deisgn at the time of its construction. It provided a model for high-style courtyard apartment buildings that were built throughout the region over the next 20 years.The American Institute of Architects has described the Pattington as "Chicago's best courtyard building," and architecture historian Carroll William Westfall has said it is the closing monument of a Chicago"classical style" of residential architecture that lasted from 1893 to 1904. The Pattington Apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Postle's prominent buildings in Elgin include the Elgin Public Museum and the Lords Park Pavilion, both in Lords Park, and both designated Elgin landmarks. Postle designed the Museum in 1904, in the colonial revival style.As he did in the cases of the Pattington Apartments and the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building, the building was built with brick walls on stone foundations, with stylistic trim in stone and wood. Postle designed the Museum to have a symmetrical facade, with a central hall flanked by two wings of identical size 8 of 19 and plan. Budgetary problems, however, limited construction to only two of these three elements, the central hall and the west wing, disrupting the intended colonial revival design. Fortunately, a wing was added to the east in 1998, fully in keeping with the original design, using matching stone and brick materials, realizing the symmetrical neo-classicism that Postle had originally designed. This addition, made to complete the design 94 years after its construction and enhancing an existing landmark building,'demonstrates the importance of the work Postle did in Elgin, and the high regard his work is accorded in the community. It is worthy of note that the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building was built the year before the Pattington Apartments, and three years before the Elgin Public Museum, in the same colonial revival style, in the same materials. Like the Elgin Public Museum, the intent of the design for the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building was to provide colonial revival symmetry on the principal facade, facing North Grove Avenue. However, do to later additions, the wing to the south of the central hall and colonaded entrance is longer than that to the north. Postle further demonstrated the breadth of his ability and experience in the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building's factory compartments. These buildings took advantage of the metal frame technology available at the time to create an open floor plan that was brightly illuminated with indirect natural light, provided through north-facing skylights.The effective utilitarian design supported the productive activities of the company for decades, and they survive as intact historic elements of the design. David E. Postle was a prominent architect in Elgin and throughout the greater Chicago area, and he has been noted as a significant designer at the beginning of the 20th century. Postle's success in designing residences for elegant clients on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago, for museum goers at the Elgin Public Museum, for park patrons in Lords Park, and for an industrial client like David C. Cook, demonstrate the dynamism and flexibility of his architectural practice. For these reasons, many of his buildings have been notedfor the excellence of their design, and many have subsequently been protected with landmark designation. The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building, as a prominent building designed by the architect David E. Postle, meets Criterion E of the Elgin Municipal Code under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion F: That it embodies elements of design, detailing, materials or craftsmanship that render it architecturally significant; The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building embodies the design and detailing that are characteristics of neo-classical architecture in general, and the choice of materials, especially of brick, define it as a specific subset of classical design vocabularies known in the United States as the colonial revival style. This style of design was popular in the years before the American Revolution in the 18th century, and was based on contemporary models imported from England. It is characterized by construction in brick, having trim in stone and wood, with ornamental emphasis placed on the entrance, windows, pilasters and entablature. The Subject Building is a fine example of the style, and a rare example of it used on an industrial building. It also demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship that the contractors brought to the construction of the building, which is of a type that is not readily available nor is it easily reproduced today. 9 of 19 In addition to the historic revival facade that the Subject Building presents to its neighbors, the historic fabric of the building includes the manufacturing compartments, 8 in total, that housed the printing, cutting, binding, sorting, packaging, and mailing of the publications produced by the company. Its design in plan, with extensive, open floor areas necessary for manufacturing, and in elevation, with its metal frame roof with skylights for extensive illumination, which was also essential for production, embodies the best characteristicslof industrial design of its era. These characteristics made this design a successful solution for the utilitatian needs of its client. The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building embodies elements of design, detailing, materials and craftsmanship that render it a significant exemplar of an important historic style, and it therefore meets the requirements for designation under Criterion F of the Municipal Code of Elgin under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preseivation." 20.06.030 Criterion G: That it embodies design elements that make it structurally or architecturally innovative; The Subject Building demonstrates no new structural or architecturally innovative design or construction technique. On the contrary, in this matter the building is typical of its period. Therefore, the Subject Building does not meet Criterion G of the Elgin Municipal Code under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion H: That it has a unique location or singular physical characteristics that make it an established or familiar visual feature; The location of the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building was essential for its business, in that it stands in close proximity and has access to the Fox River and a branch of the Chicago & North Western Railroad. It was by these routes that raw materials could reach the facility, and finished product could be shipped out in the early days of its existance. Further, the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building has a unique location and a distinctive physical appearance that has been important to the residents of its neighborhood for generations. It was important that a building built for the p i rposes of industrial production not be an eyesore or a polluter, driving residents from the neighborhood in which it stands. On the contrary, the building is an established and familiar visual feature of its neighborhood in particular, and of the City of Elgin in general. Its presence, on this site and in the same form for 119 years, has helped define the character of Elgin, and its loss would detract from the neighborhood and the community. The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building has unique and singular physical characteristics that make it an established and familiar visual feature of the City of Elgin, and it therefore meets Criterion H of the Elgin Municipal Code under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." . 10 of 19 20.06.030 Criterion I: That it is a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian structure, including, but not limited to, farmhouses, gas stations or other commercial structures,with a high level of integrity or architectural significance; The is only colonial revival style industrial building in Elgin! It should be noted that commercial structures in general, and industrial buildings in particuar, do not receive as much attention from the preservation community as their importance to their communities should warrant. It is rare to find a building built for utilitarian purposes that demonstrates the quality and prominance as does the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building at 850 North Grove Avenue. The choice of this design vocabulary was a conscious civic gesture, blending the need for efficiency with a sense of culture and responsibility to the surrounding community. The factory, without the colonial style office building on its principal frontage,would have presented a completely different aspect to the street and the proximate',residential neighborhood. By building the offices where they are, in a style and scale that is sympathetic to the residential community and in materials that are compliamentary to those often used in residential design, the building is a large and prominent, yet not overwhelming part of theiurban fabric. This choice is even more striking when comparing the design of the office building to the factory compartments adjacent to it. These utilitarian structures took advantage of recent technologies, using steel framing to form the skylights that provided natural illumination for the factory interiors. The profile of these uniquely modern roofs, which are often referred to as 'saw-tooth' rooflines, could hardly more different in their style and appearance than the colonial revival frontage as it faced the neighborhood. One of the unique advantages the architect, David E. Postle, had in regard to the design of the Subject Building, was that the topography of the land runs downhill from North Grove Avenue, at the front of thelproperty, toward the Fox River to the west. This means that the saw-tooth rooflines of the factory compartments, standing to the west of the office building and on a lower grade, were never visible from the North Grove Avenue frontage, further emphasizing the vision of civic and cultural responsibility the company presented to the surrounding community. The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building is a particularly fine example of a utilitarian structure, as defined in Criterion I of the Elgin Municipal Code, and meets the requirements of Criterion I of the Elgin Municipal Code under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion J: That it is suitable for preservation or restoration, to foster the education and awareness of the community'past. Any strucuture, property or area that meets the above criteria shall also,have sufficient integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, to make it worthy of preservation or restoration. The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building meets all seven qualities that make it suitable for preservation, restoration, and perpetuation as defined in Criterion J, including location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, to make it worthy of preservation or restoration: 11of19 Location: The Subject Building is in its original location, and has the same associations with its surroundings, in scale, form and landscape, particularly in'relation to Esmeralda Park, that have been in place since the building was constructed in 1901. ; Design: The design in its plan, elevation, structure, style and materials has been maintained, and the building is an intact example of its period. The design gives the building prominence and establishes the character of the area in which it stands, lending it a sense of monumentality and traditional aesthetics that are rarely associated with buildings built for manufacturing purposes. The colonial revival style, a restrained version of neo-classical design, lends the building a sense of permanence. The later additions to the structure are almost entirely not visible from the street frontage on North Grove Avenue, therefore having little to no effect on the visual importance of this building for its neighborhood. Setting: The setting in which the building stands is essential unaltered; the building has a substantial setback from the street, containing a simply landscaped green space. The relationship with the residential buildings in immediate proximity was planned by the owner of the building at the time of its construction, with the relationship between the Subject Building and the residences defined by his plat of survey for the addition to the city that bears his name. Materials: The buildings are extensively intact, retaining their original materials assembled in their original form. 1 Workmanship: The quality of workmanship demonstrated throughout the Subject Building is high, demonstrating the pride in craftsmanship that characterized buildings of the period. Feeling: The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building has a unique location and a distinctive physical appearance that represents an established and familiar visual feature of its neighborhood in particular, and of the City of Elgin in general. Its presence, on this site and in the same form for 119 years, has helped define the character of Elgin, and its loss would be a terrible blow for the neighborhood and the community. Association: The David C. Cook Publishing Company Building housed an important industrial business that helped establish Elgin as a leader in manufacturing in the region. The owner, David C. Cook, had a vision for his company that has continued to thrive well into the 21st century. The associations with Elgin's industrial past, and with its prominent owner, David C. Cook, are clearly evident. In meeting these seven thresholds regarding its suitability for preservation, the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building demonstrates high degrees of significance and integrity, making it an important building to the heritage of Elgin, a structure that is indeed able to foster the education, awareness and pride in the City's past, and that is worthy of preservation. For these reasons, the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building clearly meets the requirements under Criterion J of the Municipal Code of Elgin under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." 20.06.030 Criterion K: The nominated property possesses the unique architectural, historic or cultural themes to be included within an already established thematic historic district. (Ord. G20-15, 2015) 12 of 19 In addition to meeting eight of the ten criteria listed above,i the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building is uniquely related to the buildings, landscape design, and history of development of the D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District, which is located immediately across North Grove Avenue to the East.As the name of this previously designated historic district clearly shows, David C. Cook was instrumental in the development of both the currently nominated Subject Building and in the planning and development of part of the surrounding area. "David C. Cook's Addition to Elgin" is a subdivision of two blocks of land which includes the property on which the Subject Building is located, labeled Block 1, and the block of housing that includes and surrounds the prominent landscape design of Esmeralda Park, labeled Block 2. The subdivision was filed in 1901, the same year that the Subject Building was built.The plat map accompanying the filing of the subdivision (Figure 10!in the"Application for Individual Landmark Designation: 850 North Grove Avenue, ELGIN, IL") clearly shows that Block 2 was subdivided into residential lots surrounding the park, and that the park is in the same location, and retains the same plan, that has today. The relationship between the Subject Building on Block 1 and the housing and park in Block 2 was important, in part because it provided for worker's housing in immediate proximity to the industrial facility that is the Subject Building of this nomination..Even more significant, however, is the plan of Esmeralda Park, with its design based on the same Classical Revival principles that define the style of the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building. Esmeralda Park is located on an axis with the portico of the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building; its design is focused on the facade of the building in a way that makes the Building and the Park essential to one another as defining urban design elements. In other words, the location and design of the Building that is the Subject of this nomination has a unique and important relationship with one of the most prominent urban design features of the already established historic district. This relationship is exceptional and undeniable. It further demonstrates the value of the Subject Building in the context of the urban fabric of the City of Elgin, demonstrating its high level of character, interest, and value as part of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics of the community. It clearly possesses the unique historic and cultural themes that indicate that it should be included with the already established D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District. Therefore, the Subject Building meets Criterion K of the Municipal Code of Elgin under section 20.06.030 regarding "Historic Preservation." In regard to the impact of the proposed designation on the Subject Property, the City Code of Elgin provides in section 20.06.070 ("Findings and Recommendation"), for clarity in regard to the significant historic features that should be protected, defining the types of construction, alteration, addition, removal or demolition that would be reviewable for a certificate of appropriateness, design guidelines for any such construction, alteration or addition to the significant historic fabric, and recommendations as to what uses might be appropriate for the future adaptive reuse of the Subject Building. Analysis of the Findings and Recommendation: Definition of Significant Historic Features Reviewable for a Certificate of Appropriateness Section 20.06.070 of the City Code of Elgin specifies: "Within thirty (30)days following the close of the public hearing, the heritage commission shall make a determination upon the evidence whether the nominated landmark, historic district, or 13 of 19 thematic historic district property meets the criteria for designation. Such a determination shall be passed by resolution of the heritage commission and shall be accompanied by a report stating the findings of the heritage commission concerning the application of the criteria for designation in section 20.06.030 (above)of this chapter and the nominated landmark, historic district, thematic historic district, or thematic historic district property." It further requires that the report accompanying the,heritage commission's resolution shall also include information in regard to the following areas of concern, enumerated and defined as items A through H. These areas of concern also require a thorough examination, and the results of this examination follow. 20.06.070 (A.): Explanation of the significance or lack of significance of the nominated landmark, historic district or thematic historic district as it relates to the criteria for designation, or how a thematic historic district properly relates to the architectural, historic or cultural themes of such a thematic district; The significance of the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building as it relates to the criteria for designation as an Elgin Landmark has been thoroughly spelled out in this report above, under the heading "Analysis of Designation Criteria."The conclusion of this study is that the Subject Building meets nine of the eleven criteria set forth in the ordinance, and that the designation of the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building as an Elgin Landmark is thereby supported and recommended. 20.06.070 (B.): Explanation of the integrity or lack of integrity of the nominated landmark, 2 historic district thematic historic district, or thematic historic district property; The D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building, in all of its historic elements, retains a high degree of integrity.The office building on the east front is almost entirely intact, to the point of retaining historic double-hung sash, often the most vulnerable and often replaced feature of any historic building. From the ground to the roofline, the building presents essentially the same design, scale, materials, details, and relation to streetscape that have been present on this site for over a century. It is a significant, established feature of the community worthy of preservation in its entirety. Behind the office building, the historic fabric of the factory is also,intact in its most essential elements, its floor plan and its skylighted, saw-toth profile roof. While there have been additions to the factory, these have expanded the facility without removing the historic fabric that defines the structure. 20.06.070 (C.): In the case of a nominated landmark or thematic historic district property found to meet the criteria for designation: 1. The significant exterior architectural features of the nominated landmark or thematic historic district property that should be protected; 2. The types of construction, alteration, removal and demolition, other than requiring the building or demolition permit, that should be reviewed for appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of chapters 20.08 and 20.10 of this title; In regard to 20.06.070 (C. 1.): The significant exterior architectural features of the nominated landmark that should be protected are: 14 of 19 The D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building, in all,of its historic elements, retains a high degree of integrity.The office building, with frontage on North Grove Avenue, retains nearly all of its original design elements, including the entire exterior envelope of the office building on its east, north and south sides, and its roofs, including the cupolas.This includes the portico, steps and pediment of the 2 1/2 story tall central section of the office building, and both of the one story wings to its north and south. The rear wall, which is not visible from the street, has few details and is not of the same level of concern as is the principal facade as seen from any street frontage. The configuration of the walks leading to the principal pedestrian entrance on North Grove Avenue, forming a crescent in plan around the portico and the entrance, bordered by a garden, along with the great lawn in front of the building, with its plantings, are all essential historic design elements that define the building and relate it to the surrounding urban fabric, in particular Esmeralda Park, making them significant historic features for preservation. The factory buildings built as part of the original 1901 construction of the complex consists of 6 compartments with metal frame skylight roofs, standing to the west of the office building; these are original and significant in their own righ . They, along with the two additional compartments of the same design, added on their south side in 1911 and 1914 respectively, are all intact historic structures. Their angled roofs, sometimes, called 'saw-tooth' roofs, are designed to capture indirect north light, which would be evenly distributed throughout the interior without direct sunlight, for maximum utility in a work environment year-round. The roofs in particular are significant historic features that demonstrate the best and most utilitarian of manufacturing design elements in the period of their construction. These buildings, along with the covered passageway that connects the historic factory compartments to the office building, are significant historic elements for preservation. There also are several later additions to the factory section of the building. These include the 'northwest addition'of 1988; the 'northwest corner addition' and the 'west addition', both built in 1991; and, the 'Truck Garage/Warehouse and Shipping Docks'addition of c.2000.All of these sections, as non-historic structures, are not defined as contributing features and they are not singled out for preservation. The historic secondary structures include the Oil House and the Well House, both of which date from the original design and construction in 1991, standing behind the office building at the north end of the property, and the Garage, which was built at the south vehicular entrance to the property c. 1940,just off of Lincoln Avenue.All of these are considered structures that contribute to the landmark qualities of the nominated property, and all retain high degrees of integrity of their historic fabric. Individually, the Oil House is an intact historic structure with no additions or apparent alterations, retaining its original materials.The Well House has an addition, but the rest of the structure retains its original design and materials. The Garage is also largely intact, although the vehicular doors have been replaced within the original frames, and the building has a new roof.All of the historic secondary buildings, as they relate to and are part of the historic D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building, are defined as significant historic features and are included among the significant historic features for preservation. In regard to 20.06.070 (C. 2j: The types of construction, alteration, removal and demolition, other than requiring a building or demolition permit, that should be reviewed for appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of chapters 20108 and 20.10 of this title are: 15 of 19 Any and all aspects of the exterior envelope of the office building, any part of the historic fabric of the factory building, all aspects of the secondary buildings known as the Oil House, the Well House, and the Private Garage should be reviewed for appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of chapters 20.08 and 20.10 of this title. 20.06.070 (D.): In the case of a nominated historic district or thematic historic district found to meet the criteria for designation: 1. The type of significant exterior architectural features of the structures within the nominated historic district that would be protected; 2. The types of alterations and demolitions that should be reviewed for appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of chapters 20.08 and 20.10 of this title; In regard to 20.06.070 (D. 1.): Should the Heritage Commission recommend, and should the City Council concur, that the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building be added to the existing D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District, the same significant exterior architectural features of the nominated landmark that should be protected as identified and defined in this report under 20.06.070 (C. 1. &2.) above, should be protected. In regard to 20.06.070 (D. 2.): Should the Heritage Commission recommend, and should the City Council concur, that the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building be added to the existing D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District, the same types of construction, alteration, removal and demolition, other than requiring a building or demolition permit, that should be reviewed for appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of chapters 20.08 and 20.10 of this title as as identified and defined in this report under 20.06.070'(C. 1. & 2.) above, should be protected. 20.06.070 (E.): Proposed design guidelines for applying the criteria for review of certificates of appropriateness to the nominated landmark, historic district, thematic historic district, or thematic historic district property; Any and all aspects of the exterior envelope of the office building, any part of the historic fabric of the factory building, all aspects of the secondary buildings known as the Oil House, the Well House, and the Private Garage, are significant historic features of the Subject Building. The designs, scale, materials, details, and relation to streetscape of these buildings are defining characteristics for the purposes of preservation, and the principal guideline for applying the criteria for review of certificates of appropriateness for the nominated landmark are: to follow the Standards for Historic Preservation established by the Secretary of the Interior of the United States in regard to the restoration of historic resources.These standards require that original fabric be retained and repaired when possible or, when this is not possible, to as carefully as possible replace lost original material in kind to maintain the Subject Building's design, scale, materials, details, and relationship to the streetscape as consistently as possible with its original design. 20.06.070 (F.): The relationship of the nominated landmark, historic district, thematic historic district, or thematic historic district property t`o the ongoing effort of the heritage commission to identify and nominate all potential areas and structures that meet the criteria for designation; 16of19 As noted under the evaluation of the Subject Property as it relates to the designation criteria under 20.06.030, Criterion K above, the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building is uniquely related to the buildings, landscape design, and history of development of the D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District, which is located immediately across North Grove Avenue to the East.As the name of this designated historic district clearly shows, David C. Cook was instrumental in the planning and development of the area surrounding the currently nominated Subject Building, as well as having commissioned the building itself. The location and design of the Building that is the Subject of this nomination has a unique and important relationship with one of the most prominent urban design features of the already established historic district, Esmeralda Park and the housing that surround it. The relationship between the Subject Building and these landscape features within the neighboring designated landmark district is exceptional and undeniable. It further demonstrates the value of the Subject Building in the context of the urban fabric of the City of Elgin, showing its high level of integrity, character, interest, and value as part of the development and cultural heritage of the community. It clearly possesses the unique historic and cultural themes that indicate that it should be included within the already established D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District. 20.06.070 (G.): Recommendations as to appropriate permitted uses, special uses, height and area regulations, minimum dwelling size, floor area, sign regulations and placing regulations necessary or appropriate to the preservation of the nominated landmark, historic district, thematic historic district, or thematic historic district property; The D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building is still occupied and used by its original owner for light industrial, warehousing and shipping purposes. Should the Subject Building be vacated by its owner, it could be adaptively reused in a variety of ways, while protecting and perpetuating its significant historic fabric. The nature of future development is hard to predict; there are, however, many potential ways for this building to be adapted for a new user or users.A future developer with interest in the property may have another light industrial use in mind. This could take the form of a single new owner/occupant, or a collection of businesses that need space as would, for example, a small business incubator. Such a use would fit the building well, and would likely involve minimal alterations and additions. The office spaces could once again be used for offices, as well. Other options could be entertained, including conversion to residential use: given the residential character of most of the surrounding urban environment, an adaptation of the Subject Building's office structure fronting on North Grove Avenue lfor residential occupancy would be an appropriate reuse that could be accomplished with minimal impact on the significant historic fabric on the exterior of the building. This development could take several forms, including condominiums or apartments, or senior living facilities. The attractiveness of the building, and of the green space on its east frontage, would make for an attractive potential residential address. The open floor plan of the factory buildings make a number of uses possible, for recreational facilities, for retailing, for sculptor's studios, for any of a number of uses that require large, well- illuminated spaces. 17 of 19 Regardless of the use, any new development would have to occur within the established building envelope of the office portion, retaining the front a,nd side walls, and the existing roofline.Additions to the rear, if they were consistent with the existing construction in that none of the manufacturing facilities are visible from North Grove Avenue, would be acceptable. Signage of any kind should be kept to a minimum, and should particularly not be located in proximity to the portico and main entrance on the central portion of the current office portion of the building. 20.06.070 (H.): A map showing the location of the nominated landmark or thematic historic distrtict property and the boundaries of the nominated historic district including a listing of all street addresses and the number of principal buildings within a nominated historic district. (Ord. G20-15, 2015) Two maps accompany this report. The first defines the location of the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building, identifying it by its address,;850 North Grove Avenue in Elgin, Illinois. The second identifies the location of the Subject Property in relationship with the existing D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District, to which it could be added. Map#1: The 1945 Floor Plan, as it appears in the Attachments (p. 37) of the "D.C. Cook Nomination and Application for Individual Landmark Designation," prepared in response to the "Resolution Nominating the Property at 850 North Grove Avenue for Landmark Designation," presented January 22, 2020. Map#2: D.C. COOK/LOVELL AREA HISTORIC DISTRICT map, City of Elgin website, under the heading of the Heritage Commission, subheading 'designated landmark districts'; for these purposes it is necessary to highlight the location of the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building on a copy of this map to clarity the relationship between the designated district and the nominated Subject Building. Conclusion A nominee for designation as a landmark in the City of Elgin is required to meet at least 6 of the eleven criteria for landmark designation as set forth in section 20.06.030 of the Municipal Code. As noted above, this sets an extremely high standard of significance for landmark designation in comparison with other local municipalities. It is all the more impressive, therefore, that the David C. Cook Publishing Company Building qualifies under the'highly rigorous requirements established under the ordinance by meeting nine of the eleven criteria, and is therefore clearly eligible for designation as an Elgin Landmark. In addition to the evidence in support of the designation provided through this nomination process, the importance of the Subject Building to the City, of Elgin has long been recognized. The historic resources survey conducted for the City in 1996 noted the importance of the nominee by singling it out in its summary: "The strongest candidate for individual National Register listing is the David C. Cook Publishing Company. It possesses both architectural significance as an excellent example of the Classical Revival style, as well as historical significance 18 of 19 as a major industry within the community of Elgin and a noted national religious books publisher." from page 43 of the D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District Nomination (from the redacted pdf), quoted from the historic survey titled: HISTORIC RESOURCES IN THE NORTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD, ELGIN, IL, prepared by: HISTORIC CERTITICATION CONSULTANTS, 1996. Further recognition of its importance came when the Subject Building was nominated for landmark designation by the Elgin Heritage Commission in June, 2006. The case being made today, in 2020, is even stronger than that made 14 years ago since the architect of the building, whom we know now was David E. Postle, was not known at that time. The case is stronger today because the connection between the already established D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District and the Subject Property, which points out their unique and significant urban design relationship, was not considered in 2006.This is important information that shows the building meets two addtional criteria for designation as defined in the ordinance. The nomination to designate the D.C. Cook Publishing Company Building as an individual landmark is, in terms of best preservation practice, thoroughly supported and appropriate. Further, a nomination that would also add it to the existing D.C. Cook-Lovell Area Historic District would also be appropriate as well. It is my opinion that the Subject Building clearly and profoundly meets the rigorous criteria for designation as an Elgin Landmark, pursuant to section 20.06.03 of the Municipal Code of Elgin, and as such should be designated.

ATTORNEYS AT LAW 300 E.5th Avenue Suite 365 Naperville,Illinois 60563 630-637-9811 Fax 637-9814 www.drm.law SCOTT M.DAY RACHEL K ROBERT CHRISTINA M.MORRISON ROBERT G.BLACK KELLI M.SMITH Of Counsel September 3,2020 Honorable David J. Kaptain Mayor, City of Elgin 150 Dexter Court Elgin, Illinois 60120 i RE: David C Cook, 850 North Grove Avenue, Elgin, Illinois 60120 Imposition of Landmark Designation -Section 20.06.050 Objection to A Nomination Dear Mayor Kaptain: Our office represents David C Cook ("DCC"), an Illinois not-for-profit corporation (pursuant to IRC section 501(c)(3)).DCC is the sole owner of the property located at 850 North Grove Avenue which is the 9+ acre parcel nominated for landmark designation by the City of Elgin. A copy of the deed by which DCC took title is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A copy of the title commitment issued on the property is attached hereto as Exhibit B. Tlie formal DCC name change paperwork from the Illinois Secretary of State is attached hereto as Exhibit C. The purpose of this letter is to document DCC's formal objection to the landmark designation nomination per Section 20.06.050 of the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance. We are simultaneously submitting this formal objection to the Elgin Heritage Commission in advance of the public hearing scheduled for September 8, 2020. DCC has been a corporate citizen of the City of Elgin since 1882, and by this fact alone DCC may be the longest standing private employer in the City. DCC has occupied and owned the property nominated for landmarking since 1901. We have been consistently advised that to date, the City of Elgin has never imposed a landmark designation on a compulsory basis over the objection of an unwilling property owner. As a result, designating the DCC property as a landmark over DCC's objection would be the first compulsory designation in the history of the City of Elgin's Historic Preservation Ordinance. DCC asks the City of Elgin to refrain from imposing this dubious distinction on one of the City's longest serving corporate citizens. DCC respectfully asks that the City spare them the severe economic hardship the landmark designation will impose on what we submit his an anachronistic land use property. Clay Robert&Morrison,P.C. A Processional Corporation Honorable David J. Kaptain Page 2 September 3,2020 Most recently, DCC has been actively working in collaboration with the City of Elgin for nearly two years in an effort to accommodate those who seek to preserve the office building on the property. DCC has been forthright in communicating their economic need to generate a minimum of$4.0 million from the sale of the entire property to pay for the cost of moving their shipping and warehousing operations to a new facility. If relocation can be accomplished by a sale of the property, DCC would prefer to relocate within the City Hof Elgin and will make that a priority in their search. DCC has expressed their willingness to either(a) sell the site to a preservation minded developer and complete the costly relocation to a new warehouse; or (b) receive a permit to demolish the long vacant office building that was once the corporate headquarters of DCC. Demolition of the office building, coupled with continuing operations in the remainder of the warehouse, has been the intended plan for the past four years.And it remains the best interim economic option for DCC. Notwithstanding,both options remain on the table. For the past two years, DCC has afforded access to its property to City staff, planners and the Northeast Neighborhood Association (NENA) to allow a thorough search for an economically viable and preservation focused redevelopment of the property. After giving NENA and the City extra time before filing its demolition permit application earlier this year(and after the landmark nomination was approved),DCC agreed to a six-month delay in the public hearing before the Elgin Heritage Commission with the express goal of creating fan additional opportunity for any of the parties urging historic preservation of the site to find a iedevelopment scheme that would allow DCC to relocate, and yet preserve the buildings. Despite more than two years invested in this process,no such plan has emerged. The office building is also available for relocation. To this end, DCC is prepared to donate the entire office building to any preservation minded firm so long as the relocation and historic preservation is undertaken at some other site at no cost to DCC. Reasonable terms of insurance, liability coverage and agreed site restoration after remov l would be required.That said,this offer is intended to be a donation from DCC and would not require any monetary compensation to DCC. As additional alternatives,if the Elgin Historical.Society,Ithe Elgin Park District,the Kane County Forest Preserve District or the City itself wishes to purchase the full 9+acre site for a use consistent with historic' preservation goals and the land use preferences of the neighborhood, it is also available for purchase. If the residential owners within NNA wish to purchase the entire site at a price of$4.0 million,they could collaborate with the City of Elgin to form a special service area (SSA) to tax each of the properties located within the SSA in order to retire the debt of the $4.0 million purchase price. Honorable David J. Kaptain Page 3 September 3, 2020 DCC wants to make sure the City knows they are not opposed to the City's historic preservation of its property, or to selling the property, so long as either generates the funds needed to complete DCC's relocation. DCC is only opposed to having the City unilaterally impose the significant cost of historic preservation on DCC alone.In this regard,restoration of the long vacant office building for which DCC no longer has any use will run in excess of$5.8 million. In the current marketplace, it is unrealistic to think that leasing the office building will generate anything close to the rent necessary to capitalize a $5.8 million or greater restoration expense. DCC is simply not capable nor willing to unilaterally suffer a significant economic loss as a result of others who urge that historic preservation be imposed by force. In closing,this letter is submitted to trigger the super majority two-thirds vote of City Council and to oppose compulsory preservation of the DCC property. DCC asks that City Council consider the significant contributions of its longest serving private employer. DCC asks that they be spared the indignity and economic hardship that would result from�being the first property owner to suffer compulsory preservation. We thank you for your consideration.

The originalistructure was built in 1901 for manufacturing and industrial use. Over many years, additions have been ,added to fill growing business demand. As the building sits today it has become functionally and economically obsolete. There are many subdivided areas of this building with ceiling heights ranging from 10'126'. The basement warehouse areas are only accessible via freight elevators which is very uncommon!in this area. Many of the sections do not have consistent ceiling heights and are peaked towards the middle of the sections. This is very challenging for efficient and effective racking layouts. Lights and sprinklers are being damaged by forklifts in these areas. • The loading is insufficient and outdated. The floors are not able to withstand the constant forklift traffic and are constantly being repaired. We would have a very difficult time finding another industrial/manufacturing company that could utilize this building. If we were fortunate enough to find an industrial user that showed interest in the property, the Village would most likely have certain restrictions regarding permitted use. Over many years the area has become mostly residential. Truck traffic leaving the major highways and entering these residential areas, is typically heavily restricted and!can be dangerous to the community. The office building is uninhabitable and has been vacated for over fifteen years. If the office was in usable condition the parking would be inadequate. The most logical and economical outcome for David C. Cook would be to market this property to find a local company that is looking to purchase a property at a discount for around $18-$23 PSF. These companies typically will rework the business operation to fit into a building like this in exchange for a lower price. Industrial redevelopment is not seen as a viable option. a•`rr' BUILDING COMPS I =, i 16OO Fleetwood Dr. _______ 4_____ _ .SOLE ` Elgin,IL•60123 Kane County' Sala gate 12130/2015(896 days on mkt) 'Bldg T}pe;Class B IndustilalWarehotiae Sale Price: $4,09( 01)0=Canfirineil Year But/Age;t3uilt.')988,Age:�47 - u .Price/SR 346.62 RBA 246,052.SF = Land Area:15:SAAC(675,180'SF.)

CBRE, Inc.) 700 Commerce Drive,Suite 450 I Oak Brook,IL 60523 10 CBRE I BROKER COMMENTS 850 North Grove Avenue, Elgin, IL, 60120 INDUSTRIAL USE LOCATION SUMMARY Elgin is located in the Northwest Chicagoland area and utilizes 1-90 as its main tollway. This facility is located South of 1-90 and East of the Fox river in a mostly residential neighborhood. The structure was designed to be the national HQ for a large Christian Publishing house. The office portions of the structure has fallen into a significant state of disrepair through extended vacancy and inability to lease. Demolition would be desirable to most potential purchasers of the warehouse. We would anticipate a sales price in the range of $3.7-$4.7 million when comparing to other' older somewhat obsolete warehouse industrial properties. The office building is significantly under parked and the restoration costs are estimated at just under $6 million. It would be unwise and fiscally irresponsible for David C. Cook to spend any money restoring this building. Office is no longer a viable use in this location.

The BOV ratings are based on the broker's knowledge and = understanding of that component as it relates to the competitive product in the market.These ratings are then translated into and average score for each section and an overall score to "grade" the property in terms of i the outlook for its investment profile with minimal additional investment. The grading scale is based : 1 ("A") - "STRONG" (highly likely to increase), 2 ("B") -"POSITIVE" (likely to maintain / improve marginally), 3 ("C") — "NEUTRAL" (should maintain value if key components are not compromised, 4 ("D") — "WEAK" (likely to „ „ "POOR"rn, sustain value deterioration, 5 ( F ) (continued value deterioration is certain). 1 f` SUBMARKET SUMMARY _ I , rryG N KANE COUNTY SNAPSHOT Submarket Overview . a Vacancy Total Avg.Lease Net Gross Under Rate Inventory Rate Absorption Absorption Construction , (SF) (SF) Current Q12020 4.5% 31,072,219 $5.13 (111,473) 262,193 1,099,104 Quarter Previous Q4 2019 2.5% 30,554,482 $5.13 374,549 156,532 1,357,596 Quarter Previous Year Q1 2019 2.1% 29,491,413 $5.13 , 75,241 114,454 118,457 The foregoing information was provided to us by sources we deem reliable,but no warranty or representation is made as to the accuracy thereof.

This would be a user that could utilize all of the industrial improvements on site,with the exception of the office building. Typical: A sale to a typical user that can utilize some of the industrial improvements on site,with the exception of the office building. This takes place in a steady economic climate given a reasonable marketing timeframe. ,s Conservative:A sale to an investor, or a sale in relatively poor economic conditions. This is not liquidation -,} value, which may be lower, as it takes into account a full marketing program undertaken over a reasonable timeframe. CONCLUSION 850 North Grove Avenue is no longer conducive for Industrial warehouse or manufacturing use. The location is now surrounded by residential. Truck access to lithe facility from 1-90 is challenging and goes • ' 5'r through residential neighborhoods. The building is very chopped up making it difficult and inefficient to utilize for current business needs. Loading is limited and uinderserved in the facility. The office building is in disrepair and is currently uninhabitable. _= David C. Cook would become more efficient moving to a more modern precast industrial warehouse with - taller consistent ceiling heights, adequate loading, heavy duty reinforced floors and modern clean office space.

Neither you, nor any third parties, may rely on this analysis for any tax purposes, estate work, litigation, lending of any other matter other than your direct use in connection with a contemplated transaction Redevelopment Analysis The subject property is located on the east side of the Fox River north of downtown Elgin and currently is ' home to a building owned and operated by a non-profit organization. It is currently zoned PGI Planned General Industrial, but the surrounding area is largely comprised of existing single-family residential uses. -:� Given the existing infrastructure we feel the highest and best use will be higher density residential uses such as senior housing, multi-family townhouse style rentals or for sale townhouse or duplex development. The U-46 School District has several challenges and therefore,we believe the likely buyer will be a developer that specializes in age targeted or age restricted products and we would likely focus our initial marketing efforts toward those groups. :eC Because of the costs of demolition along with a soft market given the market conditions and geography of the site,the highest and best uses may only have negligible value to the marketplace. Property Strengths Pro erty Weaknesses • Established community • Resale values in vicinity are not strong „ G= • Available utilities • Will need to be rezoned • Riverfront location not in flood zone • Not visible from major street • School district is not strong • Significant demolition needs to occur ,(_F) Closed Townhouse/Duplex Resale Activity 38 Closed Resale TH/DU Listings Price Beds Baths Sqft Average $226,921 2.4 2.6 1,828 '-• $psf $124 Based upon the resale listings the target price for the attached product would be $230,000 for 1,900 sqft unit. Typical builder models allow 15% of the sales price for finished land value. In this case $230,000 x 15% = $34,500 for a finished lot less $25,000-30,000 for land development costs = $9,500 to $4,500 per undeveloped lot. Densities on this type of product is -ypically 8-10 units per acre for a total value of $324,000 to $855,000. After incorporating potential demolition costs, this type of development may become unfeasible.
