ANGOLA â Designs for the new second-story windows to be installed at the former First National Bank building were unveiled during an Angola Historic Preservation Commission meeting Tuesday and received unanimous approval from the bodyâs members.
Tuesdayâs approval of a new certificate of appropriateness filed by Thomas Blake, owner of 15 S. Public Square, means he can move forward with installing the new windows, bringing him into compliance with a Steuben Circuit Court order.
Blake was ordered by Judge Allen Wheat in December to work with the HPC to reach an agreement on replacing the buildingâs south and north side windows after he defied the body by removing the original windows and installing new ones without first securing a required certificate of appropriateness.
