:- This proposal is for the demolition of an existing storefront and the replacement with a new storefront.
- The demolition plan is to remove all the storefront up to the moulding below the three transoms, while retaining the existing tile entry and existing door and associated sidelights (see attached demolition plan). The transom glass is also proposed to be replaced with decorative leaded glass units.
- The new storefront is designed to mimic the design of the new storefront at 137 S Gay Street (see attached images of the 137 S Gay Street storefront and the attached detail drawings). The new storefront at 141 S Gay Street will use the same detailings as used on the 137 S Gay Street storefront and will be made of wood. These two storefront are part of the same building complex, even though the upper stories do not match (see attached image). There is a continuous cornice line above both storefront that tie the design together.
Property Notes / Work to be Completed
- This property is in the Southern Terminal and Warehouse Historic District so the demolition and replacement of the storefront should be reviewed with consideration of the Secretary of Interiors Standards for Rehabilitation. The existing storefront is not original to the building and in staff opinion, the portions proposed to be removed do not have significant architectural detailings that need to be retained. The proposed storefront design is complimentary to the architectural detailings on the building.
