Second submission to correct glass sizes. Approved with commendation for a good presentation. 303 S. Third Street. Demolition of this c 1860 building is approved. This proposal was agreed to because the building had always had a commercial front is being four stories high, the top floor could not be used as living quarters without a fire escape, which the Redevelopment Authority does not permit. Demolition of the building, however, does not establish a precedent. Space to be used as a garden for 305 S. Third Street, to be fully restored. 242 S. Third Street. The present door is incorrect, being too early for this building. A new door must have correct moldings, matching those of the door at 240 S. Third, which, in the opinion of the Historical Commission and Mr. Lloyd, is original. If the architect does not wish to design a double door, the door of 242 may be in one piece, but must be made to resemble the double door, since these two structures are twins. 236 Delancey Street. The drawing is approved, subject to the submission of precise details. Batten doors on the two small backbuildings are approved and so is the small pent eave over what is to be the main door. 261 South Fourth Street. This preliminary submission is approved with the understanding that the details shall match those of 263 S. 4th. These shall be submitted when the floor plans are ready. 530 Spruce Street. The drawing is approved. It is the opinion of the Commission that the 3/3 glass in third floor sash is original. 417 S. 9th Street. The Commission requires the preservation of the second floor balcony in its present position. It understands this is also a requirement of the Redevelopment Authority. Shutters must be hung at all windows and those above the first floor must be lowered. Plaque Requested 274 S. 3d Street. The owner is to furnish a photograph before a plaque is authorized. Mr. Lloyd stated that in his opinion the finished work qualifies for a plaque when the photograph is at hand. Query 308 Delancey

Mr. Lloyd stated that in his opinion the finished work qualifies for a plaque when the photograph is at hand. Query 308 Delancey Street. The owner has requested approval to have a window in the back building overlooking the new greenway. This cannot be decided without a drawing. It was thought to be inadvisable in any case, since the window would be cut in a party wall. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, George K.
