In a recent government meeting, officials reviewed plans for the restoration of a historic service building that sustained significant structural damage during a storm on May 8, 2024. The storm caused a tree to fall on the north street-facing facade, leading to extensive repairs that will adhere to the original architectural details documented by architect Harvey Jones.

The restoration proposal includes the installation of two new windows on the north elevation of the building. Two design options were presented for consideration: one featuring a single window with shutters and a vent above, and the other consisting of two windows with shutters. Additionally, the plans call for two windows on the west elevation, including a 1-over-6 double-hung window on the second floor and a circular window on the first floor.

Photographs from the meeting illustrated the building's condition before and after the storm, highlighting the damage and the ongoing restoration efforts. Historical images from the 1990s provided context for the building's architectural significance and its location on Eustis Avenue.

The meeting concluded with a review of the proposed designs, which aim to preserve the building's historical integrity while addressing the necessary repairs. The community's input will be considered as the project moves forward, ensuring that the restoration aligns with both historical preservation standards and modern safety requirements.
