SALISBURY — A Salisbury house with a unique style received the approval of the Salisbury Historic Preservation Committee to move forward with an application to name it a local historic landmark after it underwent a large-scale renovation.

The house, entitled the Leo Wallace Sr. House, stands at the corner of West Fisher and South Jackson streets and is immediately recognizable for its Spanish Revival architectural style. Owners Sherry and Steve Beck bought the property, which stands in the Salisbury National Register Historic District and the West Square Local Historic District, in 2015 and have been working to restore it since, the Becks said during the meeting on Thursday.

Several members of the HPC and public attendees of the meeting spoke their appreciation for the work that the Becks put into the house.

“When we were looking for homes in Salisbury that was the house that brought us down here. When we went and looked at it, we knew that it was way over our heads to even approach. I am absolutely amazed at what the Becks have done with this house and it certainly matches what was originally there,” said Pam Schaffer.

Sherry Beck recapped the renovations that were required to restore the house in the past years. The tiles on the roof and the ceiling itself had rotted, with the prior owners having placed children’s swimming pools in the attic to catch the water that came through when it rained. Three of the four balconies on the house had to be completely reconstructed. Four of the eight wooden columns in the house had to be replaced. Wallpaper that had been put up inside covered up damage to the wall, so the two repaired the plaster in the house and covered it with a fiber coat, a brown coat and a skim coat.

During the work, concrete began to eat through the home’s pipes, so bathroom flooring had to be removed to get to the pipes and then eventually replaced.

“We are very pleased and thankful for what you have done with the house, it really contributes to the historic district greatly. I think the house is beautiful,” said HPC Chairman Marcelo Menza.

The Becks asked for the property to be designated under two separate criteria for historical landmarks. The first was being associated with the life of a significant person, as Leo Wallace Sr. was a member of the first Jewish family to settle in Salisbury and one of the proprietors of clothing and men’s furnishing retailer V. Wallace and Sons. The other was embodying the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction or that represents the work of a master, with the Becks pointing to the Spanish Revival styles’ rarity in the area.

Sherry Beck said that the Spanish Revival style is more common in Florida and the Southwest because of the higher level of Spanish influence in those areas.

HPC member Spencer Dixon said that the Becks were going above and beyond what the commission normally sees by asking for the interior of the home to be included in the designation, stating that most people typically only asked for the exterior to be included.

“It’s really encouraging to see people who put so much hard work into the interior and are wanting to make sure that the interior is also preserved as well as the outside,” said Dixon.

After the discussion, the members of the HPC voted unanimously to accept the pre-application. Acceptance means that the application is now sent to the N.C. State Historical Preservation Office, who will decide whether sufficient information has been provided to justify the property’s significance as a landmark. The application will then return to the HPC, who will then decide whether or not to recommend the designation to the city council, who have the final say on the landmark designation.

If the designation is approved by the city council, any changes to the landmarked portion of the property, in this case the interior and exterior, will require approval from the HPC. The owners of the property would also be able to receive a 50-percent property tax deferral for the property itself.
