<br />FIELD INVESTIGATION <br />On June 7, 1998 the site was inspected by !vlr. Joe Steede of Steede and Associates. Mr. <br /> <br />Hunter Moore, and Ms Karen Wilkerson, of Harrison Walker & Harper, were also <br /> <br />present. TIle exterior and interior were examined. <br />INTERIOR <br /> <br />General: On several floors, stacks of gypsum board had been placed, in preparation for <br /> <br />dry wall work. TIle stacks varied in depth, but were measured at 24 to 30 inches in <br /> <br /> <br />height, which would exert a load on the floor of 100 to 125 pounds per square foot. This <br /> <br /> <br />is light warehouse loading and in all probability exceeded the design capacity ofthe floor. <br /> <br /> <br />TIlis may account for some ofthe surface cracks in the concrete leveling course in the area <br /> <br />ofthe stacked gypsum board. <br /> <br />Some of the original wood framed windows were still in place. In nearly all cases, the <br /> <br />wooden frames were badly deteriorated and in need of replacement. Future restoration <br /> <br />should include replacing all the windows. <br /> <br />ROOF: The roof over the seven story area ofthe hotel appeared to be in rea~onable <br /> <br />good shape and could serve future occupants. Some of the parapet trim on the South side <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />is missing. <br /> <br />HEAD HOUSE: Replace windows on the South side. TIle wooden header over the <br /> <br /> <br />three metal louvers has failed, allowing the masom)' to drop down, which caused a crack <br /> <br /> <br />in the masonry over the West door. <br /> <br />3 <br />
