Site Info

Art Deco (c.1925)

The Hub. Three story brick with applied limestone keys, sill and cornice, altered storefront. Prism glass transom. Paired four over one windows and paired transom windows. Half story at rear comprising fourth story of building.


The applicant is completing a total building rehabilitation, which will include an apartment on the 4th floor and roof access for upper story apartments. Building codes (and safety considerations) will require a parapet railing to prevent accidents. The design of the railing will be visible from street level, but has been designed as a simple and not an obvious design feature.
