Apparently, you aren't the only one who needs more info. From the article:
Quote:
“We don’t see enough detail in this proposal to reassure us that what they are proposing represents a ‘faithful reconstruction’ as they assert,” said Paul Steinke, head of the Preservation Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. “More likely, it would read as a weak representation of the original building, which no one alive today has ever seen.”
The site has one of the most flexible zoning categories in Philadelphia’s code, so the project can move forward without a trip to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The Architectural Committee of the Historic Commission will consider the project Tuesday morning at 9 a.m.
