This meticulous restoration conformed to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. Phase one included the restoration of the terra-cotta exterior as well as the replacement of the historic cornice and windows above the first floor. The second phase included reconstructing the elegant first-floor storefront, rehabilitating the ornate first-floor elevator lobby and stair, restoring the elevator lobby and corridors on four upper-level floors, and restoring the ornamented stair that connects all upper levels of the building.
