APPROVE Certificate No. 110508GEN. The proposed entrance will be located on an inconspicuous elevation to the rear of the building, is designed appropriately to blend with the overall design of the building, and is necessary to satisfy exit codes.
Install entry door and landing with stairs on north elevation of brick building noted as Building #7 in the National Register nomination, which is behind the main building, facing a residential high rise. Landing and stairs will rest on brick piers and will be painted steel, and will have standing seam roof covering to match the existing roof.
Building #7, originally a chapel and auditorium, was added at the north end of the west wing in 1879. Five bays wide, two story, but comparable in height and mass to building 3, with a pressed metal cornice. Round arched window heads on the second story with curved mullions.
Enlarged to the north in 1904-05 expanding the depth from three to six bays. (Architect: Bauman Brothers.) Dormers added on east and west planes of hipped metal roof at the same time. Addition is not obvious, except that it is made with different brick.
