Present from PACC: 420 Classon Rendering

After last week’s post on 420 Classon, the folks at PACC nicely sent over a rendering of the restoration/conversion project. The architects are Feder & Stia, the same firm that oversaw the renovation of the stately apartment building at 272 Gates Avenue for PACC. On the Classon project, city building codes have presented some challenges in being true to the historic preservation. The city almost required a fire escape on the front of the building, but the architects were able to creatively get out of by making some changes to the interior layout. A second means of egress was required on for the second floor (since the project is now considered a multi-family as opposed to three separate houses), though, so they had to extend the left stoop at the top. The extension will have a decorative railing that matches the stoop railings. Interesting.
