Windows: The building has a variety of window types in various states of condition. The west facing primary façade has four storefronts at ground level, with several levels of double hung wood windows into a variety of spaces. Along the side and back of the building in sporadic locations there are several metal double hung windows with wire and pressed glass panes. The storefronts are all from different eras of the building’s history, each with its own design. All of these glazing systems are old but are in a serviceable condition for mothballing the building. There are several large glass panes which are broken and boarded over. We recommend these systems be retained for mothballing, but be planned for replacement and upgrading upon development of the property for new uses. The wood windows of the primary façade are a combination of 1:1 and 3:3 double hung windows. The 1:1 windows are at the second floor level and are in excellent condition, all things considered. The wood is solid with minimal damage, the glass is intact in all of these windows presently, and the current paint is stabile enough to protect the wood for another year or two. The third level includes two windows which open to the back side of the exterior loggia. The window at the south end is intac t and in good condition. The north end window jamb is in place and appears to b e in good condition, however the sashes have been removed and are on the floor within the space with broken glass. For mothballing, we recommend ensuring that all windows are locked and unable to be opened from the exterior, and if necessary be boarded up from the exterior. Once development is begun, these windows should be restored – stabilized, glazed, painted, re-roped, etc. as they are not presently deteriorated beyond repair. The metal framed windows at the east end of the building serving the backstage and dressing rooms are 2:2 double hung units in stable condition overall. These do exhibit limited rust damage, and there are many broken panes of glass, The units which are closest to the active water leaks are in the worst condition with extensive rust damage, to the sills and bottom sashes. For mothballing we recommend ensuring that all these windows are locked and unable to be opened from the outside. Additionally, where the glass is broken out, we recommend boarding these up, with special attention to WEST BSMT. NORTH CENTRAL ROOM WEST BSMT. NORTHWEST ROOM
