There is potential to reuse this brick in the subsequent development in non-structural or load bearing applications, but all brick will be salvaged throughout demolition of the existing structure. There are areas at the facade where it is evident that an infill brick was manufactured to match the existing brick selection. 2 1/4” 7 5/8” DEM CHECKLIST DEM SUBMITTAL15 West Lamme St. Terracotta EntablatureAn entablature is a classic roman order of architecture describing the ornamental detailing found at the top of buildings and porticos. The entablature is made up of the cornice as the top third, a frieze as the middle, and architrave typically forming the base. This images below show the detailing referred to as the terracotta entablature . The salvageable material is not limited to the areas shown in the images below, but are being utilized as specific examples. The applicant intends to salvage all terracotta detailing similar to the conditions shown below.

Some of the windows included in this count are documented in the document to follow this narrative as new windows. Based on the brick infill sections seen clearly at the basement level of the building and other areas, it is evident that the originally constructed fenestration design was altered over the years to better suit the needs of the changing occupancy. These areas are indicated in the following drawing with a red diagonal hatch as an overlay over the orignial elevations included in Fred Willson’s 1918 construction documents. Also clearly indicated by a diagonal hatch are the facade areas that were later covered with the construction of, what is now an adjacent apartment building to the west and Mountain View Care Center to the east. Terracotta Window Sills and Head DetailsIn addition to salvaging the wood windows mentioned above, the applicant also plans to extract as many terracotta sills and keystones sandwiched between the brick arch detailing above each window.

These columns support the building entry’s entablature, made up of the cornice, frieze and architrave detailing. While the entry staircase was reconfigured since its original design in 1918, the columns were left untouched supporting the entry portico. DEM CHECKLIST DEM SUBMITTAL15 West Lamme St. Deaconess Hospital Sign at EntryThe old deaconess hospital entry features a traditional roman Entablature siting above the capitals of the ionic columns. Within that Entablature is the Frieze, in the old hospital’s case made of brick and serving as home of the terracotta entry signage that reads “Deconess Hospital”. It appears this sign was carved and erected in 6 pieces, which will be a consideration when the applicant’s demolition team attempts to salvage this sign. DEM CHECKLIST DEM SUBMITTAL15 West Lamme St. Railing at Central Interior StaircaseThe orientation and layout of the central staircase is best shown by the original construction documents of each floor plan. At the first floor plan the orientation actually changes direction between a shared landing. The original design of the central staircase railings ties into the exterior railings seen bridging the space between the terracotta columns and enclosing the exterior granite stairs leading up to the first floor entrance. The body of the railing features a grouping of four vertical balusters and a central circular element, that is repeated the length of the railing. A wood hand rail acts as the cap to this design and bridges the gap between each railing post located adjacent to each landing. Unfortunately, the original stair’s riser, treads and landings no longer comply with current code standards for stair design. As a result, this railing when salvaged will not be able to be utilized as another stair railing, but has potential to be featured in other decorative or ornamental ways. 3’-3” RISER = 11” TREAD = 10” The images included on these two pages are intended to show the existing conditions associated with the stairs, landings and handrails/railing at the interior staircase.
