Recommendation

No objection to the concept design for exterior alterations that include: the removal of two 1995 exterior metal stairs and doorways associated with the current restaurant tenant; the restoration of the original windows and window openings; and, inboard of the historic windows, the addition of decorative interior insulated window units featuring graphic illustrations of stamps at the first and mezzanine levels, as shown in materials received and dated 3 February 2011.
