6.A. - Page 13 Edgewood is individually eligible for listing at the local level as a rare intact and early example of the Ranch style in the Wellesley Park area. b. 599 Edgewood Road (Staff) Ms. Linda Marie Roche, property owner of 599 Edgewood Road, gave a presentation to the committee. She is interested in having the home designated as a historic landmark by the City. She discussed the history and character of the property and the improvements that she has done to the exterior and interior of the home. She sought feedback from the committee on two issues before commissioning a DPR report by an architectural historian: 1) Would photographic evidence of the home's initial appearance be essential to understanding the integrity of the exterior, or would the assessment of a qualified preservation professional be sufficient? 2) Do interior features weigh heavily in considering whether a structure is eligible for listing, or is the determination made exclusively based on the exterior? The Committee stated that the assessment of a qualified professional is sufficient. Chair Rolandelli also stated that they have not previously designated a home as a historic landmark for a property based its interior. While not unanimous in their sentiment, a majority of the members felt that having a historian undertake an assessment of the home would probably be a worthwhile endeavor, although they cautioned the property owner that it could not be guaranteed that this would result in the designation of the home as a historic landmark. 4.
