Certificate of Appropriateness: 4604 Browndale Avenue
Information / Background:
The subject property, 4604 Browndale Avenue, is located on the west side of Browndale Avenue, south of
Bridge Street, north of Edgebrook Place and east of Minnehaha Creek. The proposed Certificate of
Appropriateness request includes the reorienting (removing and rebuilding) the garage back to a side loaded
garage facing the north property line, the addition of a 16’ x 20’ 2 level addition to the south side of the
existing house, and a 5’ addition to the garage area on the front facing façade. The proposed project
will also require a variance. The variance request is for an addition that exceeds the allowable
square footage within a non-conforming setback. The variance will be heard by the Planning
Commission on June 27th, 2018.
The home, built in 1925, is a two-story Spanish Eclectic style residence. It was built in 1925 for Charles A.
Moore, an executive with the United Fruit Company (who is credited with helping to perfect the mechanical
process by which bananas are ripened artificially during transport). The house was designed by the
architectural firm of Jacob Liebenberg and Seeman Kaplan and is not one of the six “model” Country Club
Homes designed for Samuel Thorpe in 1927-1928.
Primary Issues:
The proposed building addition and changes will be visible from Browndale Avenue. The District plan of
treatment recommends rehabilitation as the most appropriate treatment for historic home in the Country
Club District. The general standards outlined in the plan of treatment allow for the construction of
structural additions provided the new work is architecturally compatible with the historic house and other
historic homes in the neighborhood.
STAFF REPORT Page 2
Preservation Consultant Robert Vogel’s Comments:
The Spanish Eclectic style (sometimes referred to as the “Spanish Colonial Revival” or “Mediterranean”),
is not a common house form in the District. The house contributes to the historic significance and
integrity of the Country Club District and is therefore considered a heritage preservation resource. This
property may also qualify for individual designation as a heritage landmark resource. This property may
also qualify for individual designation as a heritage landmark because of its distinctive construction
characteristics (cork insulation and HVAC system) and its historical association with Charles Moore.
Based on the plans presented, the proposed structural addition appears to be compatible with the
historic character of the house. The addition will require minimal demolition or alteration of the existing
structure; no significant architectural character defining features will need to be removed or altered.
While the addition will substantially change the size, massing and proportions of the historic house, the
new construction should not detract from the essential character of the subject property or the
neighborhood. In my opinion, this project meets the requirements of the Country Club District plan of
treatment and the Secretary of the Interior’s standards for the rehabilitation of historic properties.
Consultant Vogel recommends approval of the COA.
Staff Recommendation & Findings:
Staff concurs with Consultant Vogel’s evaluation of the proposed plans for the proposed additions and
changes to the front facade, also recommending approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness request.
Findings supporting the recommendation include:
• The proposed work is compatible with the historic character of the house and will require minimal
alteration of the existing structure.
• The proposed changes will not result in the loss of any significant architectural character defining
features.
• The proposed work will be compatible with the size scale, proportions and materials of the existing
house.
• The proposed work will not have an adverse effect on the surrounding homes or the neighborhood
has a whole.
Conditions for approval:
• The plans presented
Consideration for Certificate of Appropriateness at property located at 4604 Browndale Avenue
The owners of this 1925 Spanish Colonial Revival seek approval for the following updates to the street
facing façade:
• Reorient garage BACK to a side loaded garage located in the north facing side yard.
• Addition of a 16’ x 20’ 2-level volume to the south side of the existing house
• General maintenance and safety updates to the existing home
The original home was designed by the architects Liebenberg & Kaplan and built in 1925. The home is a
wonderful example of the Spanish Colonial Revival present throughout the historic district. The garage
doors of the original home faced the north side yard a 1950s addition and remodel located the garage
doors to the street facing garage. The 1950s addition used panelized stucco, that does not match the
original stucco. The proposed garage will be a 3-car garage with doors facing north and accessed from
the sideyard. To allow for space enough for 3-car garage a 5’ addition will need to be added to the street
facing façade of the garage. This addition does not project beyond the face of the main volume of the
house. Additionally, a 5’ addition will be added to the Creekside/ rear yard to create an overall width of
34’ for the 3-car garage. In essense, the 1950s garage is demolished in order to allow for access to the
side loaded garage.
Above the garage the existing 2nd floor volume will be added onto and align with existing roof geometry
(addition towards street). The new roof will match the existing Spanish clay tile roof. A decorative iron
window planter will be added to the front facing in-swinging casement windows, using the existing
ironwork as inspiration for the design. The north facing double hung window will have decorative
shutters to match the unique style of the existing home. The material palate and character will use the
existing house as precedent. The scale of the garage and bedroom volume is subordinate to the main
volume of the house. Pulling from the existing roof forms, the second story addition quietly resides next
to the main volume of the original home. The addition will have stucco walls, exposed rafter tails, and a
clay tile roof. Proposed reworking eliminates garage doors on street facing façade, consistent with the
Country Club District’s Plan of Treatment.
The existing home sits on a double lot and is vastly out of scale with its neighboring grand homes. The
proposed design adds a 2-level living space to the south side yard. The proposed addition sits back 12”
from the existing front wall of the house – preserving the charming original Spanish Colonial Revival
buttress. The addition consists of a Living Room on the main level and bedroom on the 2nd level. The
Living room opens to an outdoor patio space. A double fireplace will be a traditionally built masonry
fireplace – anchoring the addition. The material palate of the addition will match the exiting house –
stucco walls, exposed rafter rails, clay tile roof, decorative iron window planter, and decorative window
shutters. The scale and character of the addition compliments, but does not overshadow, the original
house.
The existing home needs general maintenance and upkeep, and upgrades to meet current life safety
building code. Most of the wood windows are rotted and inoperable and need to be replaced. We
propose replacement of all windows with energy efficient double hung or inswing casement with
simulated divided lites (or “muntins”). The existing stucco with be inspected and repaired or replaced
with traditional stucco as needed. Additionally, the existing clay tile roof will be inspected and repaired
Additionally, an egress double hung window will be added to north wall of existing main volume of
house, to do this the window location will need to be modified. The new egress window is not on street
facing façade but is visible from the street. The proposed design also adds glass to the original front
door; allowing light to enter the house and visibility to the front stoop. All necessary maintenance items
safeguard the longevity of the home and will be in keeping with the character of the historic district.
All proposed work simultaneously preserves the historic character of the neighborhood, while updating
the home to accommodate a large modern family. The additions bring the house closer in scale to the
surrounding stately scaled homes. Within the context of the block and size of lot, the proposed home
quietly blends into the framework of neighborhood.
The homeowners have lived in the Country Club District for almost 20 years and look forward to moving
their family to their new creekside home.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Heritage Preservation Commission
FROM: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant
DATE: June 5, 2018
SUBJECT: Country Club District Re-survey
When the Country Club District was designated an Edina Heritage Landmark in 2003, the city
council directed the Heritage Preservation Board (now the HPC) to conduct a resurvey of the
district every 10 years. The purpose of the resurvey was two-fold: (1) to review and re-evaluate
the effectiveness of the district plan of treatment; and (2) to identify information gaps in the
heritage landmark registration documents that can be filled by historical research or field survey.
While the plan of treatment review is essentially a staff exercise, there is no reason that HPC
members (and other community volunteers) cannot carry out a significant portion of the re-
survey, working independently or in small groups. To this end, I have developed the following
list of the six most important information gaps for your consideration:
1) Develop a more complete and fully documented biography of developer Samuel S.
Thorpe and his company, Thorpe Bros.
2) While approximately 500 of the restrictive covenants executed between 1924 and 1944
were recorded by the county assessor, very little (in fact almost nothing) is known about
how the process actually worked. For example, did Sam Thorpe personally approve all
building plans prior to his death in 1934? How did the district homeowner association
function? Are there any written records?
3) Besides Mr. Thorpe, who were the principal members of the Country Club design team
during 1922-24 and what were their roles in the project?
4) Are any or all of the six Liebenberg & Kaplan designed “model homes” built for Thorpe
in 1926 individually significant and therefore eligible for landmark designation? (The
historical associations are fairly well documented; but do the individual houses retain
sufficient integrity of the design elements, aesthetic qualities and materials necessary to
show their individual significance?)
5) About 5% of the homes built in the district during its period of historical significance are
believed to have been designed by licensed professional architects or engineers
(including Liebenberg & Kaplan, Cyril B. Pesek, Milton Sundin, Bard & Vanderbilt, C.
W. Farnham, Charles Trownridge, Rollin C. Chapin, A. R. Van Dycke, Architects Small
House Service Bureau). It would be helpful to generate a list of architects/engineers
(from building permit records) and collect biographical information about them.
6) It would also be helpful to have a compilation of information about the builders and
contractors who worked in the district between the 1920s and 1940s (notable home
builders include Anton Duoos, Carl Hansen, Peter A. Christianson, H. R. Rosendahl,
2
Morris Trach, Henry D. Roach, H. F. Nelson, Louis L. Hansen, M. R. McDonald, Herb
Thompson).
Much of the information needed to fill these gaps probably exists in the back issues of Twin
Cities newspapers, city building permit and assessor records, and trade periodicals; a good deal
of this archival material is available in digital format or online. Of course, we also have the
original National Register survey report and inventory forms from 1980, which is probably the
place to start.
