Site Info

Two-story multi-bay brick turn-of-the-century commercial structures with heavy wooden cornice or brick parapet.

1) The wood slat utilities screen will not be permanent part of the structure and will help to obsurce the utility meter panel on the front of building 118.
2) The metal roll-up door at 118 is not original, and although no documentary photos have been found, the filling of the opening with storefront to match the existing is an appropriate and will be more pedestrian friendly by making the façade more transparent. No historic material will be destroyed.
3) The early metal cornice on 108 to be removed is highly deteriorated, but its scale and design are appropriate. The new wood cornice will match the profile of the metal one since no documentation has been found exhibiting the design of the original cornice. Thisis the only historic fabric to be removed.
4) The wood door at 118 is not original, but the style is appropriate for the building, so the new door will be similar to the existing.
5) No currently unpainted brick will be painted.
