Commission approves enclosure of southern overhang at 10 West Oak Street for Elevate 1828 project
Summary
The commission approved enclosing the southern overhang of the grain elevator building at 10 West Oak Street, including a storefront and an overhead glass garage door, to support the Elevate 1828 project’s interior boot/bar space.
The Canal Winchester Landmarks Commission voted March 24 to allow the full enclosure of the southern overhang at 10 West Oak Street, a component of the Elevate 1828 project’s adaptation of a historic elevator building.
The applicant asked to square off the open-ended canopy and install a bronze anodized storefront on the east end and a full-size glass overhead (garage-style) door on the west end. The interior proposal includes a small bar or “boot” area that will connect to the building’s vestibule and adjacent campus spaces. Staff presented drawings showing a 15-light grid storefront that will match the vestibule treatment previously approved for the project.
Commissioners discussed preserving views into the historic chutes that lead to the elevator’s basement, incorporation of a glass walking surface over those features, and the utility of an overhead door to allow indoor-outdoor interaction for events. Commissioners asked staff and the applicant to verify clearance for the overhead door; the applicant said they may need to modify the header or lower the ceiling when redoing siding. The applicant also said floor and patio mockups and a head-house window detail will be provided at a future meeting.
A roll call vote recorded the approval; all voting commissioners present voted yes.
Staff noted this is one phase of a multi‑meeting review for the larger Elevate 1828 project and said a mockup and material samples would be scheduled for the commission to inspect prior to later approvals.
