The project complies with Rehabilitation Standard No. 2. The historic character of the subject property will be retained and preserved. The interior tenant improvement project with new ADA access has been designed to remove as little historic material as possible and will be located on secondary (north and south) and rear (east) façades, where it will not be generally visible from the public right-of-way.

Removal of the non-contributing rear addition will bring the property back to its original footprint. The project complies with Restoration Standard No. 2. Materials and features from the 1928 restoration period will be retained and preserved on the primary (west) façade.

The rear addition will be removed in order to restore the building back to its original 1928 footprint.
