HEMA No. 2023-02 – The Gilmaker Block (302 West Fourth Street) May 3, 2023 Page 7 3 3 8 2 Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. The Project complies with Standard No. 6. Any deteriorated historic features or materials (brick wall cladding; wood windows/doors; decorative glazed and patterned brick detailing at the north and east facades; and three recessed storefront entrances with canted windows, multi-light transoms, and tiled storefront landings at the north façade) identified during the building’s rehabilitation will be repaired rather than replaced to the extent feasible. If deteriorated beyond repair, features/materials will be replaced in-kind. The single aluminum-frame storefront addressed as 304 West Fourth Street will be restored to original wood-frame and glazing materials to match the original materials on the adjacent storefronts. The two western-most storefront doors, addressed as 306 and 308 West Fourth Street, will have the wood spacers removed between the doors and transoms, and will be restored to true double doors with a single transom at each storefront. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. The Project meets Standard No. 7. Any chemical or physical treatments required during the building’s rehabilitation will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible so as to minimize damage to historic fabric. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. Standard 8 does not apply as there are no known archeological resources onsite and the project does not involve ground-disturbance. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. The project complies with Standard No. 9. The new rooftop addition will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships that characterize the property. The proposed addition will be 16 feet 6 inches from base to parapet and will be set back 31 feet from both the north and east facades (with the exception of a small volume at the southeast corner), which will minimize visibility from the public right- of-way. The addition’s scale, volume, massing, and setbacks follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Guidelines for rooftop design while providing a compatible addition with minimal visual impact on the historic building. The proposed materials of the
