Motion to excuse <br />Barbara Wilson from the meeting was made by Sue Lancaster, <br />seconded by Paul Denney. Motion carried 6 -0. <br />Don Wilson told the Commission that the windows in the Gibraltar had <br />previously been 2/2, which was appropriate in the Victorian era; <br />however, by 1916 when the building was redone and new buildings <br />were constructed downtown, they had moved away from those. Since <br />the building is an adaptive reuse building, he requested that he be <br />permitted to update the windows to 311, which are common in other <br />buildings downtown. Mr. Wilson presented photographs of Reep's <br />Furniture, Jackson Books, Moore Law Firm, and the YWCA to evidence <br />other buildings in Paris's downtown with 311 windows. <br />
