Interior Finishing/ Detailing Apart from some detailing on the one of the first-floor ceilings, the interior wall and ceiling finishes are a mix of painted and unpainted wallpaper. Previous attempts to remove the wallpaper were unsuccessful, and the wallpaper was painted over. Most finished surfaces are in good condition. A few areas have peeling wallpaper. A portion of the plaster finish has come off the wall in the second-floor closet. Tiling: The basement kitchen and restrooms on each floor have tile floors. In the second level restroom the tile wainscot and floor are in good condition. Adjacent to the restroom is a separate shower that has tile walls and concrete flooring. The tile is in good condition but is not original to the building or in keeping with the character. The first-floor restroom was modified for accessibility. The floor tile is in good condition and matches the character of the building. The walls in the first-floor restroom are a bead board wainscot with wood trim that are in good condition. In the basement, the kitchen and restroom floor tiles are not original to the building, but are in fair condition. Portions of the grout need repair. Roofing Without roof access, the full condition of the roof could not be verified. Of what could be seen from ground level, the shingles are in fair condition. Some edges are weathered and torn. Metal flashing around the chimneys and roof penetrations are in fair condition as well with some areas in need of sealant repair. The small portion of the flat roof that can be accessed from the attic window has a membrane roofing system that is in good condition. This is not original to the structure. It is suggested that a roofing consultant be procured by the city as a separate scope in order to conduct a thorough analysis of the roof prior to any rehabilitation work.
