Letter
Dear Ms. Chandler:
During its meeting of 20 February 2003, the Commission reviewed and approved the footprint and massing of the concept for the DC Childrens' Advocacy Center that will expand and alter the historic Gales School located at 65 Massachusetts Avenue and New Jersey Avenue, NW (Lot 806, Square 625). The members recommend further study of the new addition's elevations and materials to create a more complimentary relationship with the original building. In addition, every effort should be made to reduce the height of rooftop equipment enclosures.
The Commission looks forward to continued review of this project. As always, the staff is available should you or the design team have questions or need guidance.
Sincerely,
/s/Eden Rafshoon
Eden Rafshoon
Acting Chairman
