Dear Mr. O'Ben:

In its meeting of 15 March, the Commission of Fine Arts reviewed and approved the revised concept for the proposed alterations to the office and retail building at 1510 H Street, N.W. (S.L. 07-033). The Commission members appreciated the thoughtful response to their previous recommendation to simplify the design; they requested that the final submission include information about the proposed materials and details for the project.

As always, the staff is available to assist you.

Sincerely,

Thomas E. Luebke, AIA Secretary
