A suggestion was made that Mr. Peter Meo (owner of the store) engage someone to do some historic research in order to come up with something that will do his business justice since the building is really a good reproduction of early American stature. • The Board emphasized the fact that they are trying to help Mr. Meo to do the best for his business and the building and agreed that the sign is legible and his intent is very good. After discussion ended Mr. Peter Meo arrived to discuss the signs and suggestions made by the DRB as forwarded to him by Mr. Fannell. Mr. Meo felt that he wanted to keep the image that he has had over the years as far as the sign is concerned. After many suggestions made by the DRB, Mr. Meo accepted the suggestion of using an oval sign, which would be the only one on the Mall. It was suggested that he consider having just a pair of gloves and a cane, or something of that nature, on an oval sign.

The possibility of retaining pitched roof was voiced. SCHEMATIC B: Facade too massive and does not relate to adjacent buildings. DRB would like the 2nd story "broken-up" with some modulation. The point has been made that the Fire Dept. may require some point of access to 2nd story from street level . SCHEMATIC .C: First story facade completely unacceptable (CVS store front) being very typical of unimpressive shopping center store fronts. DRB SUGGESTIONS: Though not completely opposed to schematics presented, the DRB would like the pedestrian scale respected in the design, and some modulation on the 2nd story. The solution may require that the facade Should stand on its own with less regard relating it to Almy's as an addition. DRB would also find a contem- porary solution acceptable, as opposed to a "19th Century or Colonial" copy. • DRB ACTION: Request re-submittal of schematics.

DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING HELD MAY 25, 1976 Page 3 • CENTURY BANK - Laurence Rubin, Todd Corbit Submission - Resubmittal of previous submission Pedestrian entry is at the corner of Charter and Central Streets. Landscaping is more toned down in compliance with our last meeting requests. Parking is expanded and DRB proposes the use of night time parking for the 300 Derby St. Restaurant to create evening activity. It was noted that the building has too much of a residential treatment. There was a general dislike of the DRIVE-UP CANOPY. This should be studied further. Also, the east elevation as seen from Charter Street should be integrated with the other-elevations of the building. The roof material should be given careful con- sideration due to its impact on the total scale of the building and the shape and configuration of the roof should be further studied. The DRB hoped that the Century Bank would consider building the entire commercial complex at the same time the bank is being constructed so as to present a more unified building unit in keeping with the scale requirements of the entire building lot. Mr. Rubin will attempt to be ready for another presentation at the June 8th meeting. ttt*xrtxxx�x�xt�ttr�,r�,t*t* • NOTE: The DRB reviewed the presentation of the Lyceum Restaurant rooftop unit drawing and is dismayed that the unsightly electrical equipment attached to said unit is visable and was never presented to the DRB.

As you well know, Dr. Cummings is nearing the completion of what will undoubtedly be the definitive book on 17th century domestic architecture in the Massachusetts Bay area. He indicated that he believes there are records showing that Goult' s earlier house stood in the approximate • vicinity of the present Goult-Pickman House. Pickman' s ' house was built around 1680 as proven by the style of r some of the earlier structural members if not the deed. ' Dr. Cummings feels that there are elements in both the House of Seven Gables and the Gedney House which are, in fact, older than the Pickman House. As time permits, he expects to use tree ring analysis for older houses in the Salem area to corroborate construction dates with information obtained through title searches and stylistic analyses. As a resident of Salem, I would sincerely hope that you can find an effective alternative to putting "the oldest house in Salem" on the sign in front of the Goult-Pickman House. Sincerely, Stanley M.

Khouri The architect (George Khouri) was not able to attend the meeting. Mr. E. Khouri presented a small sketch and brief specification as a proposal for the building. The DRB felt that since the sketch presented did not respect the flavor of the New Salem, a resubmittal will be required and the attendance of the architect is vital, if progress is to be attained. In a telephone conversation with Mr. Khouri, he admitted his architect was not a registered architect and that he would have another person (who is a registered architect) contact Mr. Scagliotti ' to set the criteria for design. • DRB ACTION: Tabled until a new design submission SRA ACTION: No--action necessary NAUMKEAG TRUST COMPANY Present: Mr. Thomas Ercoline, Mr. Finocchio The DRB received a submission for the proposed sign for ::the Bank's.:addition to the West of the existing Bank building.

Recommends SRA Board approval SRA ACTION: Approved at SRA meeting Sept. 15, 1975 The DRB then discussed with Mr. Ercoline .the possibility of removing the existing projecting time and temperature sign which is not in keeping with the sensitive architecture of the building and replacing it with a sign that could be free standing and of an appropriate design and style that would enhance the Bank building's architecture and blend in with the new Essex Street Mall. • MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF SEPT. 9, 1975 Page 3 • The DRB Board is anxiously waiting the Naumkeag's decision in this matter and will call for a special meeting to discuss this further, if necessary.

Shea, R. Barnes, W.Lundregan, Esq, DRB Members: John Wright, David Jaquith, Robert Scagliotti, John Collins The Design Review Board reviewed partially completed working drawings with Mr. Walker presenting the current design status of the project. 1. Site Work: The major areas of discussion centered on the following elements: a. Lighting - It is the recommendation that additional light fixtures, similar to those used on Washington Street (moldcast type) be added at the northern edge of the parking area, spaced to provide good illumination. The proposed uplights were felt to be insufficient, and a potential vandalism problem. b. Paving - The plans currently indicate brick paving on both Church and Washington Street sidewalks. Should the budget dictate cut backs, the broom-finished concrete with brick headers (similar to Church Street) might be used on sidewalk areas other than at the main entrance, where brick would be desirable. • The scoring, headers, joints, etc. of the paving should also be detailed to be consistent with the SRA work. c. Planting - The DRB feels that a definitive landscape planting plan should be prepared for the next review rather than handled as an allowance. d. Walls and Sitting Area - The provision of a small sitting area at the northwestern corner along Washington Street was felt to be a fine idea. By lowering the height of the tool storage shelter, and by simplifying the wall complex, this area could be improved. Should budgetary problems necessitate reduction in the scope or quality of the site work, it is important that the replacement or alternative design be carefully worked out prior to final review and bidding. 2. Building The building was discussed in some detail, and the general reaction was quite positive. The only negative point raised was the handling of the entrance area glazing. Mr. Walker proposed a solution which would resolve • Minutes of the DRB July 8, 1975 Page 2 • this detail problem by continuing the glass directly into the masonry (same color glass as the other windows) without a mullion. All materials (brick, glass, mullions, etc.) will be reviewed and approved by the DRB at a later date. 3. Sign - The location proposed might tend to disorient people away frau the main entrance. The masonry panel north of the recessed window might be more appropriate. Bronze letters, or a carved granite insert, are currently under discussion and will be reviewed at a later date. Should clarification or restatement of any of these comments berequired, please respond within ten days. S' cerel 7 John F. Collins • JFC/pry • f i i i �:� • . .

I • The Board's recommendation was to change the proposed stair egress, tower style, from colonial to a more contemporary flavor because it is new construction and not reconstruction or existing rehabilitation. This recommendation was agreeable to Mr. Ballou and he is to resubmit at a future date. The egress door at the second floor apartments onto the rear roof is of an odd and unconformatable size but it was felt that since an air conditioning fence (barrier) will hide the area .somewhat, it is acceptable to the Board, as is.

After a long discussion about usage, interior heights, and space concepts, it was decided to return to the concept that was presented on the April 9th meeting with approval of the design and subject to those alterations described in relation to the restaurant area and both main entry areas. The bottom of the beams should be not less than 10' - 0" from the floor but hopefully 12' - 0" to 14' - 011. All interior partitions will be not more than 8' - 0" high, therefore creating a very open concept with the monitors at each entry area acting as a transition area moving from the outdoor space to the interior shops. Mondev will submit plans, sections and elevations showing these requested changes. Respectfully submitted, � v�Jce�naa Ronald Barnes RB/pw rL Salem EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Redevelopment JOHN W.

Smith, John Wright, R. Scagliotti WELCH PROPERTY, FRONT STREET - COOLING TOWER - James Ballou present See letter from J. Ballou and one from the Environmental Design Engineers 1. Paint red to match brick 2. Landscape an attractive area A brick wall should not be built as it would not look well. There should be evergreens on Parcel RC-11D where the tower is located. Mr. Ballou hopes Norman Welch will go along with his recommendation. Mr. Scagliotti asked the following question: Could the fence be built up? John Wright questioned if it could be set in the ground. Mr. Scagliotti noted it would be too expensive to move it and it could not be incorporated into the Derby Pavilion. Upon site inspection, it was recommended that Jim Ballou submit sketches to include a new fence at height of where pyramid begins to completely enclose said pyramid at three ends. This new fence will be set back approximately 3" from the face of the existing fence. The new and existing fence should be capped with a molding. Pyramid only shall be painted to match brick after fence is in- stalled. Jim Ballou will send copies to the Design Review Board members and Robert Scagliotti will review before the Design Review Board meets. PICKMAN - GAULT HOUSE - LANDSCAPING PLAN.- Arthur Jannel present Mr. Jannell noted that the Salem Redevelopment Authority will transfer the title to this property on April 18, 1975. Mr. Scagliotti informed Mr. Jannell that final drawings should be submitted the week of May 4th (6th or 7th) , 1975. • Mr. Jannell and the DRB members explored the two warehouses on Front Street.

Double face tape used to secure letter which will have a gold finish. Mr. Braun will send the DRB a sketch explaining the details. SALEM CORPORATION - PAVILION BUILDING - Also present were John Collins, DRB, E. Schrank, A.Appel, Max Pounder The new model shows two clerestory monitors, one at each end, to also house air conditioning units. Work with circulation element "snake pattern". Light (monitors) should be used near the center of the building, not needed near entrances. John Collins wants the building to look new, not a restoration copy. Glazing detail and brick work will designate building as new. The DRB suggests that the roof be done so that natural light source will do most good for the interior. Mr. Scagliotti thought that the doors were set back too far. John Collins suggests door entrances be splayed because of trees nearby. It- was agreed that Mondev would consider splaying the north side of the Derby Square entrance and keet the south side of the Derby Square entrance open with the open portico. SIGN FOR ONE SALEM GREEN Use of Clarendon type face, caps and lower free standing letters, 10" height, on west elevation. On south elevation, "One Salem Green" should be moved off brick to over entrance opening on the spandrel beam. Gold letters. Sign stacked on the west elevation, stretched across on south elevation. LYCEUM BUILDING - FLAGS FOR BUILDING - DRB member Norbert Florendo also present Flags are to be 3 x 5 ft. , made of bulldog cotton. They are historical flags to replace "food symbol" flags. See letter of April 5, 1975 from Mrs. J. Boudreau. The DRB prefers the original "food symbol" banners as indicative of a restaurant but accepts new flag idea for Bicentennial years. A special meeting will be held April 22, 1975 for Mondev, Mr. Jannell and Mr. Ballou. These three groups should be notified before April 14th of this special meeting so they can prepare their presentations. The DRB will now meet on Tuesday morning instead of Wednesday morning.

TED COLE'S PROPERTY: In attendance: Architect James Boulger, Mrs. Cole, W. J. Tinti, SRA Board Chairman J. Boulger presented the Design Review Board with a revised design for the proposed Music Shop and Arcade to be transformed from the old Woolworth Building on Essex Street. The Board was very pleased by the progress that has been made by • Mr. Boulger and voted to accept and approve the drawings as a pre- liminary submittal. R. Barnes suggested the base of the window openings at grade level be changed from the proposed aluminum to something that would withstand the traffic better. R. Scagliotti suggested the use of granite. Mr. Boulger said he would study this further. J. Collins asked if music shop logo could be incorporated in the sign because of the importance of the many years of image it has received. It was suggested by John Wright to hang the logo over the entry doors at the eastern corner of the southern facade along Essex Street. The logo sign could hang perpendicular to building for visual identity from east and west approachment. 2. ST. PETER'S SQUARE J. Wright suggested a sculptured replica be made of the Old Town Pump which stood at one time near this site. A 1833 watercolor painting of this pump is existing in the Essex Institute for reference.

DERBY SQUARE MARKET: In attendance: Nelson Aldrich, architect of Nelson Aldrich Associates, Max Pounder, architect Revised schematics of the proposed Derby Square Market Building were presented to the Design Review Board reflecting the concern and direction suggested by a previous Design Review Board meeting on December 11, 1975. The basic concept is being held in the floor plan along with toning down the scale of the elevations. J. Collins asked that a further study of a visual barrier around the Town Hall be made to enclose this space and not to detract too much from the Old Town Hall area. The visual barrier could be done with a two-story brick wall with segmental arch or flat arch openings in it. R. Barnes suggested some further study be made in reference to the wall along the Central Street side of the site. The grade change is about 3'-0" but the basic concept of the project is asking for pedestrian access from the southeast corner either by steps or gradual grade changes. J. Collins and R. Scagliotti both feel the Central Street entry should be better emphasized by landscape work and paving detail. The pedestrian access seems to conflict with the service access. The architects will study these areas of suggestion and will return at the next meeting on February 12th..L" • 4. THE GRIMSHAW *HOUSE: In attendance: Mr. Peabody Mr. Peabody has followed the suggestion of the Design Review Board and toned down the elevation of the building by removing shutters, etc. Submitted were the north, south and west elevations along with revised plans of the rear portion of the house that is proposed as phase $1. Mr. Peabody was advised to retain an architect by the next submittal in order to get more definitive advice and direction. He said he would do so. 5. POST OFFICE: In attendance: Peter Conant, Architect of Sverdrup d Parcel gave drawings to R. Scagliotti the night before. Plans were reviewed by the Design Review Board. for the revised handrails at the square entry of the Post Office Building. The Board felt the intermediate rails were too busy and distracted from the existing rails and would like to see a single rail if possible. The submittal drawings were approved by the Design Review Board as noted. • � J MINUTES OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING JANUARY 8 1975 Page ; • 6. COLONIAL MEN'S SHOP: In attendance: Robert Scagliotti, Architect At the owner's request the Design Review Board reviewed the first floor window and door treatment. The owner wanted 1/4" tempered plate clear glass windows rather than the approved small paned treatment. The Design Review. Board with some restraint approved the use of large single 1/4" tempered glass windows with painted wood frames recessed as far back from the face of the building as possible, but the doors should remain as the prior approved submittal.

The general conclusions of the board were as follows: a. The East and West elevations should more fully enclose Central Street and Derby Square. This would require more "built" use of the four corners. Entrance plazas should be the major open spaces, related to the east facade of the Town Hall and adjacent landscape • improvements, and to Central Street. r. b. The proximity to the Town Hall, thevisualfocus of the entire area, makes the addition of another "focal" building difficult. It is recommended that a calmer and less competitive expression be sought. c. The cupola was felt to be heavy, and the roof height excessive in context with the Town Hall. However, the provision of a "big space" using natural light was a worthy concept, and one that should be encouraged. . d. The service access was discussed, and although potential conflict with pedestrians was pointed out, the need for the restaurant service on the.north side seems to justify the present location. e. The concept of a heavy timber structure and the use of large scale graphics, where appropriate, were approved in principle. f. Mr. Aldrich will develop further schematics for future presentation based on the discussion. 2. GRIMSHAW HOUSE -- Mr. Peabody 1.

The Client's desire for a "Colonial" building should be met by using characteristic materials, scale, and graphics rather than the application of false shutters, etc. • c.

Barnes, D. Jaquith, R. Scagliotti= Mrs. Ted Cole, Architect J. Boulger Mr. Boulger: The construction area in between will be a problem. DESIGN REVIEW BOARDt Requested "arcade" instead of "and mall." The window treatment is better - more on scale. Wood panel with raised moulding be- neath each window. 6 x 8 windows, flat 8' blinds. R. Scagliottit The building should have brownstone sills, wood blinds, wood windows. Precast concrete colored brown for brownstone sills. Trim around window - brick on edge, projecting 3/4". "Huge glass" wood might be too delicate to hold glass in place. Window panels on ground floor could be anodized and durantic 3k, set back about 5" so brick form and shape stands out. Durantic panels should be in two sections, otherwise they could crackle. Soldier course (one or two vertical bricks around window) suggested instead. • Bob Scagliotti questioned the door treatment. Mr. Boulger noted that the chimney is in the way - that is why the door treatment is as shown in drawing. R. Scagliottis Suggested windows could be Eawneer with a narrow line in the center. Shingles should have 7" exposure - John Mansville "colorbestos" slate shingle. Color - Edinburgh Blacks three tiers on the snowguard. Interior drains to be lead coated, copper drain behind cornice. If the drain isn't behind the cornice, there could be a problem if it freezes. David Jaquith suggested more could be done with brick coursing to keep windows on second floor from floating. The window treatment on the 2nd floor might be brought down. J. Wrights 8 over 8 windows might work better. Mr. Boulger to include this on his next presentation. Lettering to be submitted later -- to have more character. • Page 2 Mrs. Cole is satisfied with current drawings and new suggestions. The Design Review Board is also satisfied. They recommend a pair of 3 foot • doors at the center with side panels. John Wright brought in photocopies of Market Nouse and Derby Square (from the Essex Institute's collection) which show wood frame structure(s) on site of Mondev's proposed "Market structure" on Central Street.

MINUTES OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD SPECIAL MEETING OCTOBER 300 1974 HELD AT THE OFFICE OF THE SALEHJMDMLOPMENT AUTHORITY • 8:00 A.M. -- REHAB OF WOOLWORTH BUILDING FOR TED COLE'S MUSIC SHOP Present: Messrs. Scagliotti, Smith, Wright, Barnes, Florendo, Jaquith, Mr. Q Mrs. Cole, Architect J. Boulger, Atty. Leonard Berkal Stan Smith called for the retention of the existing Woolworth facade and incorporating the same in the proposed Ted Cole's Music Shop. The DRB didn't feel that the facade respected the true Woolworth architecture and therefore should be replaced with a design more in keeping with Historic Salem. Architect J. Boulger asked if they could remove the 2nd floor facade along Essex Street because of cost and they have no use for the area. The DRB informed them that the Salem Redevelopment Authority Board was the only body that could change the regulations and they should contact the Board for a variance. R. Barnes and J. Wright suggested to the Coles and their architect that the DRB would welcome a design submission that would retain the "Old Salem Flavor" by use of materials and scale but did not want to see a typical • new Colonial facade. A resubmittal is welcomed in the near future. 8;30 A.M. -- SIGN FOR PARKING GARAGE The sign for the Parking Garage was approved for location, size and color, with the understanding they are to submit to the Board elevations of the whole garage and lettering for the sign in detail.

John Wright: Question the doors and handles themselves on L. H. Rogers. • Mort Braun: The city and pedestrian way is involved. Bob Scagliotti: The owner may have to pay for bollars or planters. They will have to be of two types: temporary and permanent on Essex Street but not on Front Street. Mort Braun: Problem of insurance if the doors swing out is a substantial point. We want to do things on our own property. Receded doors would be a happy solution. Then we would get a building permit. Bob Scagliotti: The SRA office would pay for permanent bollards. Ron Barnes: I would like to see doors come out a bit. Circulation is a visual point of view -- more space on either side of doors than with recessed doors. Bob Scagliotti: Mr. Powers will allow full swing out with bollards. Mort Braun: If we obtain approval so as to get a permit, then we will change the plan.

BOWMAN Design Review Board Meeting October 23, 1974 REHABILITATION OF WOOLWORTH BUILDING FOR TED COLE'S MUSIC SHOP -- Present: John W. Barrett, Attorney Leonard Berkal representing Ted Cole Bob Scagliotti: Ted Cole is in the process of purchasing the Woolworth Building. New drawings were submitted by Jim Boulger, Jr. Stan Smith: I would like to see Woolworth's facade retained. It is interesting, unique, historic and will give variety to the street. John Barrett: As far as the building is concerned, it must be a two-story structure on the street side. Presently the 2nd story is a false front. Thirty feet would be necessary on the 2nd floor. There should be a relation to the Salem Five Cents Savings Bank and Almy's. The front must be usable on the 2nd floor. Gourdeau's price for the purchase of the building was $121,000, then reduced to $709000 -- $519000 less for the Authority to spend for the rest of the project. If building remains as a one-story structure, it would have to be reappraised -- lowering of price. • a. If specifications change so would price. b. It would have to be readvertised for new proposals. Another developer, Almy's, wants to take the building as is to be used for a furniture store. Leonard Berkal: The 2nd floor does not have to be used. Salem Five was designed as a two-story building. Gourdeau did not build because it was economically unfeasible. The first floor has a high ceiling and there is a beaum 17' back in the way. Bob Scagliotti: The beam could be a wall and the 2nd floor beam could remain. For two large office, bury the beam, don't take it down. Stan Smith: Advocate that the Woolworth Building, circa 1936, facade will be important, for more historic - keep it and make it into a useful area. Dave Jaquith: Not overwhelmed now by the present facade. The traffic flow in the present building is bad now. Maybe connecting it to Almy's would help. Leonard Berkal: The building does reflect a certain personality of Salem's history but it may not be that important. Salem was a market town then. • Bob Scagliotti: Baker's Building has far more character than the Woolworth Building. The Design Review Board agreed to this. Leonard Berkal: Bob -- read John Wright's copy of this comment as it doesn't make any sense. Design Review Board Meeting October 23, 1974 • - 3 - Ron Barnes: Recommend that the architect be present at the next meeting. Ted Cole wants to advertise - fine - but not with the mixture of styles as in preliminary specifications presented by Boulger today. Bob Scagliotti: We should concentrate on the front - 2 floors - then the rear later. Leonard Berkal: Windows needed at the rear of the existing 2nd floor. Bob Scagliotti: I disagree with people walking through the trucking area. Leonard Berkal: The connection with Almy's is still a possibility. Ron Barnes: . More vertical than horizontal feeling. Norbert Florendo: Include the elevation of Salem Five. PARKING GARAGE SIGN - Present: Alan Howe and Jim Baldwin Jim Baldwin: The sign, 6 x 4, is to go on the northeast corner of Brown and New Liberty Street; drawings for sign manufacture. • The size of the sign must relate to the size of the building. A metal sign, flush against building, with plastic letters with back lighting, 4WININX88Wi11IXX$KXUXapi$WXUXXX Norbert Florendo: The sign example that Jim brought in (re 4 diagonal white stripes) doesn't function as a logo -- looks like a pedestrian walkway. Stan Smith: Is there a similarity to the L. H. Rogers' logo? The present sign may result in confusion with St. Peter's Square which is on the garage entrance side. Jim Baldwin: L. H. Rogers has more of a seriph. Stan Smith: The sign must stand the vagaries of time and vandalism. Respectfully submitted, John Wtight • Salem • EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Redevelopment JOHN W.

The sketches did not meet with DRB requirements for presentation, nor did they accurately portray the conditions that exist or are to be altered. The DRB require the following sketches for each design presented: 1. Site Plan* 2. Floor Plan* 3. Elevation* 4. Perspective* 5.1 Presentation by a Massachusetts architect *All sketches must be drawn to scale Adjoining buildings and environment should also be included with elevation and perspective sketches in order for the board to visualize the relation- ship to surrounding buildings and green spaces. • Material treatment should also be suggested in presentation sketches. Note: It was recommended that Burger King submit several (8 to 10) alternative sketches of exterior treatment. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DERBY SQUARE COMPANY Present: John Wright, Ron Barnes, David Jaquith, Norbert Florendo, r Robert Scagliotti Jonathan Woodman and Richard Mailoit for the Derby Sq.

In general the Design Review Board approved the design and commended the Architect for his past coopera- tion and willingness to study alternative Design Treatments. It was felt by Mr. Collins and Mr. Jaquith that the precast panels on the Front and Washington Street facades were somewhat disruptive. • The drawings were approved with the understanding that the proportion, color and texture of the precast be further evaluated, during the design development phase. 2. COLONIAL MEN'S SHOP - R. Scagliotti, Architect Mr. Scagliotti presented progress drawings of the "facade easement" rehabilitation design. The current design was approved. Planting in the areas in front of the eastern elevation where new windows are proposed will be adjusted to permit good visability of the windows. 3.

OLSSON IDA J. FURNARI DAVID S. JOHNSON. M. D. ROBERT B. BOWMAN • DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING - JULY 22, 1974 Present: Joe Walker, architect for Salem Evening News (covering for .Jim Shields on project) Design Review Board: Ronald A. Barnes, Stanley M. Smith, John Wright, Robert Scagliotti, David Jaquith The members looked at 1971 scheme for new Salem News Building which included parking at the rear. Discarded because, there were too many styles. Then the Design Review Board saw second sketch of January 2, 1974 which looked too much like the Ropes Building (Clark d Friend). The June 10th, 1974 presentation was too heavy, fortress-like. David Jaquith thinks the main building should be distinct from the Washington Street section: "when in doubt seperate and link." Robert Scagliotti said that the new building should be contemporary (20th century) but have historical background. The Desing Review Board and Mr. Walker agree that scale and massing are important criteria re. this project. Joe Walker said building should be simple along market stall area. Both David Jaquith and John Wright believe that the structure should • be all .brick without granite post and lintel arrangement as it appears several times on Front Street buildings already restores or in the process of being restored. Brick area windows and door(s) would be good alternative and fit in well. Design Review Board recommends that Mr. Walker submit several sketches of proposed building(s) instead of one finished drawing. Respectfully submitted, John Wright y • DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEETING: July 15, 1974 PRESENT: Robert Scagliotti, Stanley Smith, John Wright, Norbert Florendo, and Ronald Barnes 3.00 P.M. Salem Corp. Town Houses - Aldrich Associates: J. Parillo, D. Luebkerman PROPOSAL: Drawings and outline specifications submitted to the committee for preliminary design approval of the town house units. J. PARILLO: The basic design concept that was submitted to the Design Review Board at an earlier meeting on May 20th is the main goal of the architects. This submittal reflects this concept with little change in the exterior elevations and site layout but internally the units have been designed to create a rental unit on the top half and a owner live-in unit on the lower half. The rental unit will have the amenity of a roof sun deck area while the owner will have the grade deck in the rear of the buildings. • R. SCAGLIOTTI: Have these town house units been approved by Salem Corp. and has a feasibility cost been established and agreed upon? J.PARILLO: No - E. Shrank was suppose to attend this meeting but he cannot because of a prior engagement. R. SCAGLIOTTI: The Design Review Board cannot approve and stamp any design submittal that is not finalized and is not secured for over-all concept. We (the Design Review Board) would very much like to see the "early Salem" concept remain in the town house proposal. S. SMITH: What changes will occur and will they hold the historic flavor? J. PARILLO: Some of the changes will be in the heating types, structrual materials, and other areas that we hope will not change the concept that has been established. J. WRIGHT: What has happened to the "fan light" like windows that were over the unit entry doors? I felt these were very important in holding the 19th certury Salem concept and also added an identification that these town house units need to set them apart from the "run-of-the-mill" designs. • J. PARILLO: The windows over the entry doors were removed because of lack of space between the door opening and the second floor. We • wanted to retain this detail also but it just wouldn't fit. R. SCAGLIOTTI: Where are the brick fire place end walls that were proposed on May 20th? These were to be on Washington Street elevations and should be retained as well as adding eight more at other choice locations. R. BARNES: The Court House site has been extended 75' beyond the existing northern boundary. This would encroach within the town house units at the end of the project. R. SCAGLIOTTI: A copy of the revised plan for the Court House site was given to Salem Corp. as well as Aldrich Associates. This submittal should reflect these changes. Because of the circumstances the Design Review Board should call for a re-submittal of the town house units by Salem Corp. d Aldrich Associates and this re-submittal must be secured both in cost of construction (to hold the design concept) and in all additional changes and alterations discussed at this meeting. Ronald Barnes • • r • DESIGN REVIEW BOARD Meeting: July 8, 1974 Present: Robert Scagliotti, Ronald Barnes, Stanley Smith, John Wright, and Norbert Florendo 12:00 Noon Laurence Rubin - architect - re North Shore Bank Submission of design proposal to re-face existing "sandpaper" wall on bank. Proposal: Existing blue-green laminated panels to be painted bronze. DRB instructed architect to review paint specifications to insure proper adhesion of paint to panels. Pine trim painted light grey framing new 4" brick veneer. The brick is to match existing brick above. Robert Scagliotti - Suggested to accept proposal as an interim solution. • DRB - Votes to accept proposal. 0. Padjen - re "Pickman Place" sign on easterly facade of Lally's Building. Sign will be approximately 17" x 81" redwood stock with carved letters "PICKMAN PLACE". Redwood to be painted brownstone color to match adjacent brown brownstone. Stan Smith - Suggestion to use a sand paint when matching the brownstone in order to achieve a brownstone texture. DRB - Voted to accept proposed sign treatment. 12:30 P.M. 0. PADJEN - RE EMPIRE BUILDING 0. Padien: Owner has suggested a reduction in the number of windows on first floor facing Liberty Street. Proposal: In response to owner's suggestion the number of windows on first floor reduced to 4 recessed windows of insulated clear glass. The windows on second floor increased in bothe size and number, • in response to Mr. Tinti's comment. They are recessed grey glass carried to 7' and 1' form floor. DRB: Response generally favorable to window changes as it tends to soften the overall structure. • John Wright: Questioned number of windows on second floor. Bob Scagliotti: The number of windows on second floor seem to float the roof - and the scale is very satisfying. 0. Padien: The angled entrance on the corner of Essex and Liberty Streets has been changed to a display area with the addition of a vesitbule to entrance at left of angled display area. Change was make in response to owner's suggestion for more floor space. DRB: Voted to accept proposal as a preliminary submission.

Scagliotti , John Collins, Stanley Smith, Laurence Rubin architect for the Bank and Mr . Marks , President of the Bank) Met to decide upon alternatives to the sand epoxied upon plywood , which the bank installed as an interim exterior facade treatment on the right side of the building . SRA had requested this be changed as it had never approved of this treatment initially. Alternative treatments already discussed included a cast stone veneer on the left side of the building . Also to include an anodized aluminum fascia to replace the blue enamel material present . J. Collins and S . Smith urged that the ultimate treatment of the building facade be considered before another interum solution-- giving attention to only a small part of the facade--be proposed . R. Scagliotti pointed out that the SRA was only seeking an interim solution because the Bank doesn ' t know whether they will renew the lease or move elsewhere. After looking at the site , the following recommendations were made • (and seemed acceptable to the Bank and its architect) . 1. SRA is to approach Mr . Shribman, owner of the building , in order to entice him into making a study for the revision of the entire facade . The Bank would supply up to $1 , 000 (which will otherwise be used to alter the sand effect) toward the cost of renovating the whole facade . R. Scagliotti is doubtful that Mr . Shribman can or will oblige the SRA about this . 2 . In that case , a brick veneer would cover the existing sand effect ; brick color to be approved by the DRB; unfinished trim on either side of facade to be covered by brick; aluminum hood to come down; and the marlite or enamel fascia will be painted a bronze color . L . H.ROGERS - Sign on the Bowker Block Joe and Paul Finocchio present along with Messrs . S . Smith, Collins and Scagliotti. Approved the L.H.Rogers logo , which will be back lighted ; front of the letters are opaque ; bronze color to be approved later . Approved (and admired) "at east india square" , which will be in unlighted lower case letters similar to the L .H. Rogers logo . • -2- COLONIAL MEN' S SHOP (Present : David Gavenda and Messrs . Collins , Scagliotti and Smith) • David Gavenda .presented an excellent perspective of how his research showed the building appears to have looked when originally con- structed circa 1800 . It is one of the oldest buildings in the renewal area. Muntined windows dominated on all three floors . East side of building has windows only on the front of the side, as there appears to have always been other buildings along side . David urged it be reconstructed and restored to its original design. S . Smith felt that since so much had to be reconstructed , contemporary use should not be constrained to historical reconstruction. Mr. Meo , owner of the Colonial Men' s Shop , may want store front type of fenestration on south and east sides of the building . J . Collins suggested that the muntined window treatment be:.extended around on the east side of the building , which, though without historic precedent , would make the new pedestrian path interesting (on the ground level) and would provide light and a view to 2nd and 3rd floor tenants. WOOD ' s and DANA BLOCK (Present : M. Braun of the Planning Services Group , R. Scagliotti, J . Collins and S . Smith) At issue - the 1 Derby Square entrance door . • We agreed to make a glazed entrance way--without a solid wooden door and without a fan type window in the archway. The doorway should be 8 feet wide rather than 10 feet wide, according to the 5-29-74 plan. The doorway may be set back to provide rain protection , if this works out in terms of the internal space. Otherwise , it is acceptable to have the door flush with the exterior wall. The ancient exterior drain spout is to be retained . SALEM FIVE CENT SAVINGS BANK LANDSCAPING Oscar Padjen and Tim Smith talked to John Collins on the best arrangement for planting in the sunken areas in front of and behind the bank. SALEM EVENING NEWS BUILDING (opposite the Subway Market:�buillding) (Present : J. Shields of C. T. Main, Inc . , J . Collins, R. Scagliotti and S . Smith) J . Shields presented perspectives for a rather strong building using a lot of brick and precast brick panels forming a dramatic division between first and second floors . Question - How does this facade relate to the Beef & Oyster Restaurant across the street? • It was the sense of the meeting that the building seemed rather strong and could profit from a more monochromatic use of materials . Could be somewhat less articulate. i -3- The architect is happy to work with the DRB to solve the problem and will prepare some alternative sketches for consideration by the DRB members before the next meeting . SALEM COOPERATIVE BANK: Messrs. Scagliotti , J . Collins and N. Florendo approved making a door out of what is currently one of three similar windows .

Present: Stanley Smith, John Wright, Robert Scagliotti, John Emerson LYCEUM BUILDING -- MEETING WITH JOHN EMERSON RE NEW DOOR, REAR OF BUILDING Five members of the Design Review Committee saw and discussed new door with builder on site. Mrs. Boudreau put bars in window as duplicates of ones already there. J. Emerson: They need to have a second means of egress from the 2nd floor before the building is accepted. R. Scagliotti: I think Mrs. Boudreau had the door put in before sub- mitting drawings in all honesty. J. Emerson: Interior staircase is a .second means of egress. Re- quires an exterior door. There may also be a transparent 20th century addition for outside dining, later, like a greenhouse -- leaving integrity of building complete. The new door being built will be a secondary entrance from the bar --think door is in keeping with the building. S.

Finocchio: Mr. Rogers wants indirect lighting on the sign -- he didn't say all or just a part. Salem Sign Co. can carry out any style the Design Review Committee wants. Small lighted letters are not practical as they burn out faster. R. Scagliotti: Sign about 6' up from ground -- concerned about children. The square will be highly lighted. J. Finocchio: Exterior lighting will result in a savings. The light doesn't shine through the letters -- there will be a "halo" around the letters instead. J. Finocchio: The primary lighting will be the name of the sotre -- "L. H. Rogers". S. Smith: Will "At East India Square" be diminished -- would it be an afterthought? N. Florendo d R. Scagliotti: Brushed (dull, matte), stainless steel looks very well • against brick. Retain "At East India Square" in keeping with "L. H. Rogers" as on architectural drawing. N. Florendo: The signs on the Peabody Museum are simple, Roman letter style with serifs. S. Smith: We don't want to introduce too many types of styles. R. Scagliotti: Logo will be moved closer to the mall street facade. Mr. Florendo will mail the Rogers style to Salem Sign. A meeting will be set up for the 17th of June for the next presentation. ELEPHONE CONVERSATION BETWEEN R L S .AGL OTT AND i WALKER Mr. Walker There will be a $55,000 premium for saving the Veteran's States: Building and buying land across the greenway for ten parking spaces. It would be less expensive to tear down the Veteran's Building and pave the entire area for parking. • Desigh Review Committee Meeting June 11, 1974 • Mr. Walker The area behind the Veteran's Building will support only States: six parking spaces. He also claims there will be snow removal problems. He does not want to accept the fact that the SRA will give him an additional 5' of land north to provide adequate parking and snow removal. He seems negative about accepting the revised sketches over the plan labeled 1A submitted by Whitman d Howard.

Tear down Veteran's Building for 18 parking spaces 2. Off-site -- move to hotel site 3. Stay on site; retain Veteran's Building; sell land in back to County for parking. is Ten parking spaces behind Veteran's Building; ten additional spaces (90' x 70' lot) where the first four units of townhouses are to be built on Washington Street; greenway system 25' wide between the back of the Veteran's Building and the new proposed parking lot. 4. Leave Salem Jack Barry stated the Commissioners will go on record as approving Alternative No. 3 above. COMMENTS: S. Smith: What happened to the idea of adding a third story to the courthouse? R. Scagliotti: Clerk's space is well laid out -- not fair to go higher to resolve parking area out back. R. Barnes: Could maintain building -- my idea is to put parking across the greenway. • CHAIRMAN 'VICE-CHAIRMAN TREASURER ASST. TREASURER MEMBER WILLIAM J. TINTI. ESO. LAWRENCE J. OLSSON IDA J. FURNARI DAVID S. JOHNSON. M. D. ROBERT B. BOWMAN Design Review Committee June 10, 1974 - 2 S. Smith: There are two questions •- 1. Overall plan as it relates to the greenway system 2. Should the Design Review Commission work it out with the architect first before the county people? R. Barnes: The architect is supposed to answer to the Commissioner. S. Smith: Let's meet with the architect again. R. Scagliotti: Mondev is not committed money-wise. We have money for a courthouse - let's get it resolved. We would give the County Commissioners an additional 5' from the greenway to extend their parking. S. Smith: What will be the quality of life because of County parking on Washington Street? Our problem is the design of the area. D. Jaquith: There should be something solid on the street side. Parking will probably be tight; people should park in assigned areas. J. Wright: There should be a better relationship between the courthouse and the Veteran's Building than we saw on the last presentation. • J. WALKER PRESENT J. Walker: Two objections: Buying new land behind the Veteran's Building for parking; Can ten cars be parked in the space. My feeling is that the hotel site is a far superior site than the Waters d Brown site, but a decision was made by the SRA that we have to work on the Waters d Brown site. It would cost $55,000 more to save the Veteran's Building and buy land for 10 additional parking spaces. Would like to check out the number of parking spaces that will be available -- have it done by the Whitman d Howard surveyor. The compromise issue has a lot to be said for it. I'm not in favor of knocking down buildings indis- criminantly. R. Scagliotti: We are trying to assist, not hinder, construction of a county courthouse. Would like a report back this afternoon or tomorrow morning before the SRA meeting. Mr. Walker will report back through the County Commissioners. • Design Review Committee Meeting June 10, 1974 - 3 - BOWKER BLOCK -- SIGN R. Scagliotti: Back lighted letters; neon tube can be used in back of letters. I believe it will be white letters edged with metal. Style is our only concern -- we control size, style and location. N. Florendo: The proposed sign is not as handsome as the original sign. No character to faces of new script. "Swashes" in original is better. R. Scagliotti: Maybe it could be letters on a podium, with power source in podium. S. Smith: The one that was proposed today looks like motel art decorating -- we want to avoid exoticism. We want in- tegrity of typography and want to avoid cheapness of effect. N. Florendo: We should avoid phoniess. Advocate use of alphabet that will give exotic flare but not go too strongly oriental. D. Jaquith d • J. Wright: Both "L. H. Rogers" and "At East India Square" should relate designwise. D. Jaquith: There are two conditions for signs - day and night visibility. S. Smith: This is probably the only location where it will say "At East India Square." Typography for East India Square has to relate to typography around square, i.e. East India Hall. BEEF S OYSTER Transformer pad should be properly screened under stairs in Higginson Square. LYCEUM Back door - service door: We are meeting tomorrow morning with John Emerson because we are not satisfied with the design of the door and Bob Scagliotti was not aware that a new stairway door will be installed in back.

II MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD HELD MAY 20 1974 AT THE SALEM REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY • Present; J. Collins, D. Jaquith, J. Wright and three new members: S. Smith, N. Florerido, R. Barnes. R. Scagliotti John Wright was voted secretary at the beginning of the meeting but each board member is to take turns keeping minutes. The Design Review Board (DRB) will request the architect to be available for consultation when his plans are reviewed; this should be possible since the Board will now be meeting every third Monday. Members of the DRB who are in- volved with particular projects may not vote on that project. The Board can only recommend that the SRA accept certain proposals. R. Scagliotti will continue to make small decisions re signs (as he has manual), bricks and their color, etc., without contacting all members of the DRB. Naumkeag Bank - present: D. Jones, Architect Opinion of the DRB was that the design needs further study. J. Collins thinks that more brick should be used - important. Perhaps covering concrete "tower" at right end; dark glass and mullions. A wrought iron stairway would • give a textural contrast. S. Smith feels design is not in keeping with what is going on in Salem now. D. Jaquith thinks the building has no theme. Would a pitched-roof structure be better? Question of parapet was discussed to give the building more height. J. Collins and new members of the Board think glass entrance on Charter Street side not a strong enough statement. D. Jones was receptive to our suggestions. He will try to make brick more important in new drawings; will use to cover posts in drive-in area for solidity. He will try to incorporate wrought iron stairway railing and open up existing mass. J. Wright thinks it is too tight. R. Scagliotti will send recommendations to D. Jones. Shribman Building - present: 0. Padien There may be a problem in getting the Pewter Pot to change their facade - typical image like Mac Donald's. 0. Padjen would like to see more interesting panels, similar to originals, replace plywood ones on upper facade. "Sandpaper" wall of bank is in limbo. v Design Review Board Meeting - May 20, 1974 Page 2 • Bell Shop Building - present: 0. Padien Instead of being restored like the Colonial Men's Store or turned into a Colonial revival building like the Shribman Building, the DRB thinks this building should be a simple, red brick structure, perhaps with reflecting glass. Tall, rectangular windows seem best for second floor. Flat roof of existing two-and-one-half story building may remain. The DRB appreciated seeing many alternatives for the building and would like other architects to follow this example. Empire Addition - 0. Padien Will be brick with set-in windows on first floor probably; permits view into lower section for display. 1950's existing front will be changed to accommodate new addition. Essex and Liberty Street corner of building will be angled. Dana Block The DRB is pleased with plans after on-sight comparison with building. Large, semi-circular window between buildings is fine, although J. Wright thinks it might need re-thinking. Omission of window shutters OK. Board recommends that original tin leader box on top of original drainpipe be retained for its • unique, architectural significance (only one in renewal area). New drainpipe could be installed. This may be a problem for the SRA as all drainpipes are supposed to be located inside restored buildings. Maybe this one can be an exception! If leader box cannot be retained and preserved in situ then it should be given to SRA, not discarded. Instead of arched windows on first floor of the Essex Street side, post and lintel arrangement is acceptable. Size of panes, however, need reworking, especially over door where scale is wrong. Salem News Addition The DRB respects the architect's idea to keep the new building in character with adjacent Derby Square structures but is opposed to having a copy of Subway Market Building or any other; each should be unique. The drawing is very good but it is the wrong expression. Similarity makes confusion; denigrates Subway Market. Arcade is not needed on Front Street facade. J. Collins said the vegetable stands on market area side are too wide. Building behind, as seen in drawing, is too similar to Salem Savings Bank addition and new Fire Station. A new building for this site should be at least three stories, sympathetic treatment • for adjacent ones - but not a Colonial-Federal Revival structure. Design Review Board Meeting - May 209 1974 Page 3 • Essex County Court - present: J. Walker and San Clemente from BBC The Veteran's Building is part of a small cluster of buildings at the northern end of the renewal area, and although of a later period (1870'x) than Federal ones which are being restored, it should not be razed just for parking space. R. Scagliotti suggests that the City sell land and the Veteran's Building to the SRA, then the SRA can sell land to the Court and find use for the building. S. Smith said that destruction of buildings for parking lots is a thing of the past - not today's thinking. J. Collins said that Whitman d Howard should be working within urban renewal guidelines and controls. They should be instructed to redesign court house as it relates to the Veteran's Building with the idea that it will be retained. Town Houses - Aldrich Associates: S. Wang, J. Parillo, D. Luebkeman, , Mondev: E. Shrank Sam Wang said they have two new ideas: kitchens and dining rooms should not face alleys; garbage cans should not be taken through living room. R. Scagliotti said possible marketing issue if Mondev wants to change design of town house on Almy's parking lot after first ones are constructed near Firehouse. S.

Board recommends that original tin leader box on top of original drainpipe be retained for its unique, architectural significance (only one in renewal area). New drainpipe could be installed. This may be a problem fo6tRA as all drainpipes are supposed to be located inside restored bldgs. Maybe this one can be an exception! If leader box can not be retained and preserved in situ then it should be given to SRA, not discarded.

The drawings approved November 29, 1973 show the granite veneer posts and lintels as extending 3" beyond the face of the. existing brick. This, as explained by the architect, Mr. Ballou, was to align the new granite veneer as .closely as possible with the exist- ing granite and adjustments were to be made in the field to further align the new granite veneer with the existing granite posts and lintels. Further, the drawings approved November 29, 1973 show the lintel along Front Street to be level and in the same plane. The erection of the granite, as investigated, indicates the following: 1. The existing granite lintels and posts do not project 3" as • anticipated. It is more in the order of 1-132" projection. Therefore the new granite veneer which is being installed with a 3" projection does not align with the existing granite. Mr. Ballou's representative indicated to us that the new granite veneer would be kerfed to match and align as best as possible with the existing granite. 2. Demolition has revealed that the existing lintels on Front Street are not in the same plane and, therefore, is the reason for stepping the lintels as follows: at the corner of Front and Washington Street, the first three bays of lintels are level at the top. The next six bays of lintels are down 8" from the first three bays and the remaining (existing) six bays of lintels are up 3" from the previous six bays. It was also discovered that the lintels and posts are not being installed with the back of the granite flush against the face of the brick - there is approximately 1,-3/4" space between these elements. 3. The drawings by Mr. Ballou's office, specifically Drawings R-8, indicate a granite venner with a "rough thermal finish" or rock face, The • S.R.A. BOARD April 26, 1974 _ 2 _ • appearance of the new granite veneer does not indicate that it is "rough thermal finish" or. rock face, nor does the color match as per sample finish submitted. Because of the above-mentioned conditions a meeting was quickly called of the Design Review Board by the Staff Architect to observe, review and comment on these conditions. After meeting with Mr. Ballon's representative at 2:00 P.M. , April 26, 1974, and upon visiting the job site to investigate all of the above conditions, the Design Review Board responu as follows: Comment 1: The architect should direct the contractor to align the new granite veneer with the existing granite as best as possible which may include bringing the back face of the granite veneer flush with the outside face of the existing brick wall. Comment 2: The architect should direct the contractor to adjust the six new granite veneer bays of lintels on _Front Street so that they are level with the existing six bays of granite lintels, so that the entire • plane will be 5" below the new three bays on Front Street at the corner of Washington Street, Comment 3: The architect should instruct the contractor to redo the finish of the new granite veneer so that it is 'more in keeping with the - texture of the existing granite or more equal to a "rough therinal finish" or rock face as specified and to lighten the color of the new granite veneer so that it is more in keeping with the existing granite.

Mer TELEPHOwexsmexw m 7442948 Merry AREA CODE 817 March 11, 1975 Mr. John Barrett Salem Redevelopment Authority Salem, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Barrett: Our firm would like to submit the enclosed plan for review by the Design Review Board at their March 12 meeting. This would be a wood carved sign which would lie flat against the outside wall at our second floor premises at 15 Derby Square, as illustrated by • accompanying plan. The sign, 4011 x 3011, would be carved out of Eastern White Pine, using a medium Clarendon style print. The background would be painted a dark maroon, with gold lettering. We believe that this sign as proposed would be tasteful and consistent with the colonial facade of the building, while being substantially smaller than that to which we would be entitled according to the formula outlined in the Manual for Private Signs.
