The building is constructed with a blend of poured concrete and a steel frame. <br />The roof is flat and covered with tar and gravel. There are art deco bas-relief stone sculptures above the front and side <br />entrances and triangular pediments above the East and Test Hamilton Street entrances. The College Street entrance has <br />a 40 -pane fixed wood window that illuminates the stairwell. There is all opaque leaded glass window on the west side of <br />the east Hamilton Street Entry. There is a round window with nine panes of clear glass with limestone surrounds in (lie <br />balcony area of the auditorium on the south side wall. Throughout the rest of ttie building there are large double hung <br />wood windows with 416 and 619 saslies set in flat stone lintels. There are stone casing and mullions on all doors and <br />granite entry steps. The original 1936 building is intact and maintains an outstanding level of integrity with most of its <br />original materials and windows. Famed local architects, Austin and Shambleau designed the building with constriction <br />by highly regarded local builder, Thomas Hickey. Forty five percent of the $262,760 cost of Marquette School was <br />funded by the United States Government through New Deal projects of Franklin D. Roosevelt. <br />A small addition was constructed in 1948 and a larger one in 1953 off the northeast corner of the original structure on <br />College Avenue. The 1953 addition to the building is symmetrically arranged; the south end (at the north end of the <br />1948 addition) and the north end have a wall that forms a corner bay, thougli the top of the wall is equal to tiie adjacent <br />walls. Tile corner bay has wide brick pilasters that step inward toward a center bay. The center bay has a 6/6 window <br />centered in its first level and a 619 window centered in its second level. The windows have stone sills, but are not framed <br />with stone trim. At the center of the 1953 addition is a narrow Avail that forms a projecting bay, though the top of the bay <br />wall is equal to the adjacent walls. A small, narrow I/] window is located in the first level of the bay; it has a wide stone <br />sill. The stone sill course on the 1953 addition is located on the corner bay walls only. Between the corner bay and the <br />projecting bay are two groupings of four 6112 windows; these groups are also framed with stone trim. <br />ALTERATIONS: All windows are boarded. All original paneled doors have been replaced with modern clear glass and <br />metal doors. The only significant alterations are the reduction of the Hamilton, Streets entrances twin towers from six <br />brick courses and seven limestone string courses to two and three respectively and the removal of decorative brick and <br />limestone pediments that crowned the top of each tower. <br />APPLICATION ITEMS: After obtaining the Certificate of Appropriateness, the SBCSC will move forward with <br />finalizing the project bidding docuarients and accept bids to remove the required asbestos containing materials, demolish <br />the entire building, & develop the site for use by the Marquette Primary Montessori Academy students, staff, & <br />community. Included are preliminary site development drawings showing an expanded playground area, open play <br />arealsoccer field, walking paths, raised garden beds, garden storage blk., monuments incorporating materials reptirposed <br />from the old school. <br />(See attached correspondence by Mike Szymanski and Katherine Turk and Exhibits A — E) <br />
