PROPOSED BUILDING IN CONTEXT 9 “...while the history of the building’s uses into the 20th century reflect the development patterns of the district, the façade was completely replaced in 1984, and with the exception of a single cast iron column, and retains no significant historic fabric that represents the Federal style, nor the later significant phases of development, and therefore, the removal of the façade will not eliminate any significant historic fabric” - CofA: LPC-16-0170
