Dear Megan,
Could you forward the correspondence below from Tim Ronda, SDG Architects, regarding Item 3 to CHC
members, along with the attachments? If it's possible, could you put it under his name, as I'm sure
members are sick of hearing from me. But if not, that's fine, too.

Was the facade up to the cornice and parapet intact and preserved? Refer to
attached Exhibits A and B.
Did you repair deteriorated features? Yes
Were the cornice and parapet reconstructed with documentary and physical
evidence? The reconstruction was based on historic photographs and
measurements on site. Refer to the attached historic photos.
Was the reconstruction work intended to match the original in design, color,
texture, and, where possible, materials? Yes, except that the crenellated parapet
above the cornice was completely reconstructed with new materials to match
historic photos.
Two of the three brick columns have original face brick. The third column
adjacent to the Network was completely reconstructed and finished with thin brick
veneer to match the original columns.
Did you document your work? Refer to the Exhibit B photograph of the original
condition.
