Three letters of complaint have been received, asking whether the present stucco is to be permitted to remain unveneered by brick. Dr. Tinkcoom reported on the appearance from several angles and points of view and read the letter, dated 30 November 1965 which states that because so much of the original fabric was preserved and reused, the Historical Commission would allow the stucco to remain for the present with the understanding that it would be veneered in the forseeable future. 261 South Fourth Street. A report on a telephone call from the architect was made by the secretary.

This is in Unit I, Washington Square West A letter from Redevelopment Authority asks the Historical Commission to release this building for clearance of the block from Walnut to Locust; 10th to 11th for Jefferson Hospital expansion. (A letter dated April 4, 1961 to Mr. W. W. Bodine, Jr., President, releases this building, but not precisely identifies it within the area just cited) Mr. Trautwein, unaware of this letter, not then remembered, raised the question of considering the demolition of a certified building only when the Commission has been shown what will replace it.
