APPROVE Certificate No. 830074&G. Proposed change to original plan will allow access through a door to the rooftop, but the only changes will be the substitution of a door for a window and the addition of the pipe rail, which will be unobtrusive.
Create rooftop deck behind parapet wall on northeast elevation of building, using existing window and opening to create access door and installing plain dark-painted pipe rail above parapet wall. NOTE: Conversion of window to door will be hidden behind parapet wall, as will items on deck. Deck will not be visible except for pipe rail used at top of parapet wall to bring balustrade height in compliance with codes.
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 basement 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.
Both proposed changes are readily correctible in the future; applicant will obtain a door that is consistent with pane configuration of replacement windows.
