APPROVE Certificate No. 83109MKT. The proposed grill is in keeping with the character of the building, and will allow the applicant to satisfy a codes requirement for the interior height from the floor of the second story to the base of the window.
McBee Trading Company building. Two story brick building with elaborate corbelling, limestone sills, lintels and cornice and altered storefront. A dry goods store named the McBee Trading Company was the first occupant of this building, followed by the Huff Edington department store. In 1935 the building became a White Store and by 1950 was a clothing store. It is now occupied by Preservation Pub.
The applicant has indicated a desire to use the second floor space of this building. She does not wish to alter the height of the windows, the bases of which are now close enough to the floor of the second story to cause safety code concerns. By installing the grates, those concerns can be addressed without altering the size of the windows.
