Description: Reconstruction of demolished brick wall and application of stucco to new and existing walls.
ARC Recommendations:
5/18/21: The ARC noted that stuccoing the remaining brick façade at the right side of the building was not appropriate. Additionally, they agreed that it would be preferable if the new façade at the left side of the building was reconstructed in brick; however, the new brick does not necessarily need to be an exact match of the existing. A control joint could be installed to demarcate between the existing and the new brick. The composition and opening proportions of the reconstructed façade require further study so that it is more visually-cohesive with the rest of the elevation. For example, the new windows should extend into the belt course like the existing windows.
