This document also <br /> addresses the proposed Rehabilitation of the Fox Theater Dressing -Room Wing Project and its potential <br /> impacts on the theater as a historic resource. <br /> First, the regulatory framework of the report and adopted historical documentation was compiled and <br /> reviewed. City Staff was consulted briefly and the project requirements were outlined. A &A then <br /> reviewed the adopted historical documentation for specific conclusions referencing the affected <br /> dressing -room wing of the Fox Theater building. Limited supplemental historical research was <br /> conducted by Franklin Maggi and Leslie Dill, and included review of Sanborn Fire Insurance maps and <br /> some local histories. <br /> The site was visited in October 2014, by Leslie Dill. Notes on the architecture, characteristic features of <br /> the buildings (particularly the dressing -room wing), and the immediate surroundings were made. <br /> Photographs of the exterior and interior of the directly impacted wing of the Fox Theater building and <br /> related views of the adjacent setting were taken at this time. Photographic documentation included at <br /> the end of this report was taken digitally by Leslie Dill on October 7, 2014. <br /> Leslie Dill evaluated the character and significance of the dressing -room wing of the Fox Theater with <br /> respect to the written and physical documentation. The research and historical investigation was <br /> prepared utilizing the methodology recommended by the National Park Service, as outlined in <br /> Preservation Briefs #17 - Architectural Character: Identifying the Visual Aspects of Historic Buildings as an <br /> Aid to Preserving Their Character (1988), and #35 - Understanding Old Buildings: The Process of <br /> Architectural Investigation (1994). <br /> An initial review of the overall project was completed in fall of 2014. This review was based on drawings <br /> dated September 22, 2014, which focused on the proposed new building. This initial proposed design set <br /> ARCHIVES & ARCHITECTURE <br />
