Commission questions proposed Charles Lindbergh photo for City Hall signage, suggests a marker for Marquette School finials
Summary
At its March 12 meeting, the Ottawa Historic Preservation Commission said it did not favor the proposed photograph for Charles Lindbergh signage at City Hall and received a suggestion to install signage noting Marquette School finials along Canal Street.
The Ottawa Historic Preservation Commission reviewed proposed signage plans and expressed reservations about the image proposed for a Charles Lindbergh sign at City Hall.
Commission member Chuck Stanley stated that the Commission did not favor the photograph currently proposed for the Charles Lindbergh signage, indicating commissioners want a different image or treatment. The Commission did not finalize a replacement image at the March 12 meeting.
Separately, commission member Bob Eschbach suggested installing signage to mark the Marquette School finials located along Canal Street, proposing a small interpretive marker to highlight that architectural feature. No formal motions or votes were taken on either signage topic at the March 12 meeting; further discussion or staff follow-up would be required to implement changes or new markers.
