Replace storefront wall, windows and doors, using approximately the same horizontal bulkhead, transom and storefront divisions but introducing additional trim elements and creating a less contemporary look, with wood paneled bulkheads, more elaborate trim at central door, full view doors with paneled bottom rails, framing storefront windows with anodized aluminum or wooden elements; refine sign board, introducing new corbels and dentils to mimic the top cornice details; recess the second story balcony wall 7' behind the existing location, reusing the existing arched transoms and windows with option of reusing the existing doors or installing paired French doors with full view glass, and retaining the existing balcony railing; install new stone base on first floor ends to match detail on second story balcony columns.

Acanthus leaf brackets on elaborate pressed metal cornice and on brackets of loggia columns. Corner pilasters. Modified storefront.
