DIFFERENT MATERIAL IS OFTEN USED FOR AN <br />ALLEY FACADE THAT IS LESS PROMIINENT <br />THAN THE FRONT FACADE <br />PAINTED ADVERTISEMENT ON SIDE FACADE OF <br />BUILDING SHOULD BE RETAINED <br />MIN 075 111: 1 as] WA a 011111 t IBM <br />The side and rear elevations of most <br />historic commercial buildings, were <br />frequently constructed of a different <br />material than the more prominent <br />front facade. Often the detail, and the <br />number and size of windows differs <br />from front to side and rear. Alley and <br />side facades need to be respected for <br />their simple design and must not be <br />"dressed up"' to create a false <br />impression or false history. <br />Some corner buildings were <br />constructed with two "fronts" to face <br />both streets. Both, of these facades <br />need to retain their prominence. <br />Historically, painted advertising often <br />appeared on the walls of buildings. <br />This signage is an important part of <br />the history and development of <br />commercial buildings and <br />businesses., This signage must not <br />be removed or painted over. <br />Alley entrances to buildings were <br />usually utilitarian and not of <br />architectural significance; though <br />some have beautiful details that must <br />not be destroyed. As parking <br />becomes more available from the <br />rear or alley of the building, these <br />entrances to the building may <br />become a more prominent access, to <br />the building. However, this entrance <br />must not compete with the front <br />entrance, or create a phony image. <br />Approved Blanker panels at openings <br />are acceptable as a temporary <br />solution to secure buildings. <br />Mechanical equipment should not be <br />placed within the line of sight., <br />
