Site Info

Two story brick building. Six light wood double doors for north entry, topped with arched transom. Half view entry door on east wing and monumental concrete stairs on the north elevation of the east wing. Entry to original building on east elevation removed. Flat roofed section on the east and two story section with raised bsement to the rear. Gymnasium to west with front facing gable roof and gabled portico. Limestone quoins, brick water table, dentil molding, keystones and limestone sills highlight the buildings. Wood double hung windows throughout the building, some twelve over twelve, nine over nine, eight over eight and fifteen over fifteen. Brick chimneys at entry to gymnasium and at the gable end of the south façade of the east wing. One story bay with paired six over eight double hung windows appears on the south façade of the east wing.

The proposed changes enable a smaller density than originally considered, which benefits the Fourth & Gill neighborhood.
