The Madison Historic District Board of Review voted to approve a façade-restoration project at 307 West that will remove deteriorated stucco, expose and repair underlying brick, reconstruct a historic parapet feature and install storefront entrances for retail use.

Applicant Brenda Cooper presented drawings and said the intent is to 'go back to' historic brick and replace failing stucco with matching brick salvaged from an 1800-era source (SEG 1256–1260). Contractor Daryl Trumpy said the work is substantial due to previous fire damage and water issues, and described plans to rebuild the front facade using reclaimed brick to match historic appearance.

Board members and public speakers praised the investment as an improvement to a corridor that has seen significant decline, and staff concluded the project meets the district guidelines with minor material clarifications (SEG 1290–1350). A motion to approve the application was moved and seconded and passed by recorded vote; applicants were encouraged to coordinate with staff on final materials and details before construction begins (SEG 1362–1378).
