Additionally, the proposal to move up two windows at the south (side) façade up in line with the adjacent paired windows is necessary due to the removal of an interior wall, which currently separates the varied window heights. The majority of the south façade windows will remain in place or be restored to match the originals, based on their existing conditions. Additionally, two windows and two doors with transom windows will be removed from the north (side) in order to accommodate a new interior bathroom with three new windows. The rear (east) façade will remove two non-original doors. One of the doors (to the south) will be infilled for Multi-Purpose Room C and the other door (to the north) will have a new door with upper transom window. All new doors and windows proposed in new openings will be compatibly designed and made with materials to match the originals. As conditioned, their design will also be distinct enough to read as contemporary.
