Amount Budgeted Expenditure Required Budget Remaining Additional Required DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: Placement on the Everett Register of Historic Places requires owner consent and honors historic properties significant to our past and worthy of preservation. Owners Andy and Kaye Hall have requested their property, the Challacombe& Fickel Building at 2727 Oakes Avenue, be placed on the Everett Register. Built in 1923 as a funeral home, the building was designed by Benjamin Turnbull, one of Everett's most important architects during the early 20th century. The building is also significant because of its architecture, a combination of Colonial Revival and American Foursquare, and its connection with Nicholas Challacombe and Charles Fickel, the original owners. The Everett Historical Commission held a public hearing on the nomination on September 22, 2009, and recommends placement of the Challacombe & Fickel Building on the Everett Register of Historic Places. RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Adopt the Resolution placing the Challacombe & Fickel Building on the Everett Register of Historic Places. 119
