Several homeowners have called requesting information about the architectural style of their homes and characteristics consistent With that style. Chairman Nyberg pointed out that the Northwest Architectural Archives at the University would be a good resource for people doing research on their home. He added that many old architectural firms have turned their files over to the archives. IV. WOODDALE PARR/COUNTRY CLUB DISTRICT SIGN: Ms. Repya explained that she had discussed the proposed sign for Wooddale Park with Park Director, Bob Kojetin. Mr. Kojetin is planning to incorporate the original bricks from Wooddale School into the sign. The two memorial tablets reading "Edina School" and "Erected 1926" could be used as well to include the Country Club District history into the sign. Currently, however, there are not funds available for the sign. Chairman Nyberg asked what happened to the old limestone pillars from the school facade. He had remembered seeing a plan by BRW showing the pillars used in a Country Club memorial. Ms. Repya explained that the pillars are currently at Arneson Acres and are proposed to be used in the construction of gazebo at Arneson. Discussion ensued among Board members regarding the use of the pillars at Arneson Acres vs the old Wooddale School site. Board members expressed their feelings that the pillars should be used on the site from which they came. Chairman Nyberg asked Ms. Repya to review the Wooddale School file; specifically checking into alternative uses which were proposed prior to the school's demolition. As he recalled, a plan existed which incorporated the pillars in a memorial. No formal action was taken. V. CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROGRAM: Ms. Repya advised the Board that Ms. Britta Bloomberg, Deputy State Historic Preservation officer will be attending the Board's May 26th meeting to discuss the Certified Local government Program and answer any questions the Board might have.
