Hickory Street I Denton, Texas 1 June 2022 PROJECT CONTEXT Design recommendations For Front Fagade were requested by Christine Gossett, Main Street Manager, and by the property owner Suzanne. Christina Davis, ED and Cameron Robertson, HPO assisted in the process. The owner had expressed her intention oF revealing the transom windows that are visible in historic pictures of this building and also to work in phases to allow for Downtown Reinvestment grant applications. ANAYSIS CURRENT FRONT FAgADE A\+ + + RJr + M The historic pictures From 1900 & 1943 appear to show the presence of cast iron columns going from the top oF the transom widows to the ground level, which indicates that the store Front was aligned with the sidewalk. In the years in between these two pictures some changes could have happened below the canopy area that aren’t visible because oF the image resolution. For instance, a new recessed entrance and the addition oF big display windows. Also, a new sign at the edge oF the canopy isnoticeable In the 1964 picture modifications to the top area are visible, transom windows were covered, and the original sign was removed.The cornice detail is still visible. The business kept evolving throughout the Following decades. At some point the slipcover was extended to the top oF the Front Fagade, and a new canopy, sign and light fixtures were added. In more recent years the existing business has experienced its own changes, retail sales decreased while dinner sales increased. Outdoor seating started occurring organically at certain times of the day. During the pandemic customers benefited From some grocery shopping while picking up dinner. There is also a new coFfee venue offered at the restaurant. All oF this results in a crowded space, making it difficult to access the building. A different entrance configuration would benefit the new needs For outdoor dining and grocery shopping.
