ANGOLA â Designs for the new second-story windows to be installed at the former First National Bank building were unveiled during an Angola Historic Preservation Commission meeting Tuesday and received unanimous approval from the bodyâs members.
Tuesdayâs approval of a new certificate of appropriateness filed by Thomas Blake, owner of 15 S. Public Square, means he can move forward with installing the new windows, bringing him into compliance with a Steuben Circuit Court order.
Blake was ordered by Judge Allen Wheat in December to work with the HPC to reach an agreement on replacing the buildingâs south and north side windows after he defied the body by removing the original windows and installing new ones without first securing a required certificate of appropriateness.
ANGOLA â It would appear the former First National Bank building in downtown Angola is going to get a second set of new windows just a month after replacement windows were installed by its owner, Thomas Blake.
Blake and staff and representatives of Indiana Landmarks and Angola government met Thursday with the goal of meeting a resolution over the windows that were installed on the west and north sides of the building that the Angola Historic Preservation Commission ruled against allowing. The building is located at 15 S. Public Square.
After the windows were installed without the required certificate of appropriateness, the city filed an injunction against Blake from Steuben Circuit Court, which ordered that a resolution be found.
