Jahn Submitted by: Gregg A. Vavra, Architect Scope of Restoration Work See existing facade photograph and restored facade sketch attached. General Description The 115 Stephen Street Building is a two story brick facade building with approximately 30 feet of frontage. The first floor is approximately 60% storefront system. The second floor is predominately brick with several average size windows and a dominant cast stone cornice with a brick and cast stone parapet above. The brick is generally in good condition with areas requiring tuck pointing. The storefront may not be original to the building but was replaced long ago and could be said to have historic significance itself. It does not detract from the building design and some portions of glazing must be replaced. The primary area of concern is the cornice /parapet area. There has been some water infiltration over time. possibly due to deteriorating flashing at the roof line. This has caused loosening of the brick and cast stone parapet and cast stone cornice. Several of the cornice pieces are spalling or otherwise deteriorated. requiring repair or replication and replacement. Supporting structural members may require care but since they are currently concealed the exact condition can not be known until work begins. Work Description A. Remove of wooden decorative band at second floor line. Remove wood panel areas (2) below storefront window at right of storefront door. Repair existing substrate or replace with design compatible material. (These are not original to the building and do not match the character of the building design) B. Replace storefront glazing as required for occupancy. (Verify that storefront glazing conforms to safety glazing standards.) C. Clean and tuck point brick area. D. Repair Cornice/parapet area. (This will require the dismantling of some of the masonry area to discover the extent of the work, the repair and replication of some of the cast stone pieces and the correction of the water leakage condition which caused the deterioration. Existing brick may be reused but new brick to match the existing may be preferred by the contractor involved. Thus care should be taken to match the brick and the cast stone in order to retain the historic character of the building.) E. Painting of windows, doors and miscellaneous areas. Page 3 Architectural Services Proposal Submitted to: Loren D. Jahn Submitted by: Gregg A. Vavra, Architect Optional Work Description F. Replace entire storefront area with a system that replicates the original design but utilizes insulated glass units. G. Provide retractable cloth awning in historically correct design above storefront area. Cost Estimate The cost of the above work would vary with the quality and availability of contractors. Additionally the repair of the cornice/parapet area is difficult to determine due to the unknown conditions which will be known only when work begins. Optional work is not included in this preliminary cost estimate and the minimal amount of work to be done is assumed in the estimate. It is estimated that between Eight and Ten thousand dollars is the low end amount required to do the work described under A through E above.
