KAPP, 269 N.E. 104 STREET Landmark Fact Sheet was reviewed by the Board, Mrs, Kapp was present and advised that she resided in this house for forty years. She could not offer the Board historical information on the structure. Mr. McCall observed that many of the structures considered for designation were for sale, namely, the Kapp residence, the McGrath home, the Pruitt's and the Cawthon house, He questioned the Board's policy on this. The Board, following discussion, was in accord that the quality of the residence did not change just because the house was for sale, and consideration for designation was for the structure, not the owner. Following further discussion, the Board agreed that this structure, built in 1925, had no unusual significance, either architecturally or historically to warrant landmark designation. Mr. Dixon moved we do not recommend landmark designation of the Kapp residence. Mrs, Stofik, passed the gavel, and seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. • • Miami Jhores9illage F L OR ID A - 2 - May 16, 1983 b. MICHAEL P.
