It was inspired by the designs of the palazzi of northern Italy and popularized by American <br />architects McKim, Mead, and White. Utilized on public buildings and ornate homes, the vocabulary of the style also influenced the <br />appearance of commercial buildings. Characteristic features generally include masonry construction, often with different treatments <br />on lower and upper stories; stringcourses or belteourses between stories; flat roofs screened by parapets or hipped roofs; cornices, <br />dentils, pilasters, quoins, and other classical details; and a balanced, often symmetrical appearance. Taller, more elaborate buildings <br />often feature terracotta facade cladding or ornamentation while more modest one to three -story examples utilize bricks of contrasting <br />colors as trim. Ground floors of multi -story buildings often housed banking rooms; more modest buildings may contain storefronts <br />with recessed entries and large plate glass display windows with transoms and bulkheads. Upper story windows are most commonly <br />one - over -one wood framed double -hung sash. <br />Page P of 4 <br />cmlhistoricltemplateslBroadway 225 N (Pacific Bldg) <br />8/23/01 EXHIBIT 2 <br />
