Nomination of Challacombe & Fickel Funeral Home for Everett Register Mark French: The Commission has received a copy of the Everett Register nomination for the Challacombe & Fickel building. We will now open the public hearing for this nomination. The purpose of this hearing is: • To provide factual information about the proposed project or action to the general public and to the Historical Commission. • To provide a fair, open and orderly forum for public comment and questions. • To identify issues to be considered as part of the decision. We will begin with the property owner's presentation. Andy Hall: My wife and I are the owners of 2727 Oakes, the building we are speaking about tonight. In 2007 my wife and I bought the funeral home from Ruth Precht's estate. Ruth Precht's husband was a funeral director and was part of the Challacombe and Fickel group. The building was built as a funeral home in 1923, and in 1984 it ceased being a funeral home but stayed in the possession of the Precht family until we bought it in 2007.
