They also intend to retain the Freeman signage on the western side of the present building by keeping that wall of the elevator house intact.
"
Preservation of the painted Freeman's Auction graphic is proposed. To achieve this, the west wall and a portion of the north wall of the existing elevator overrun and machine room will be retained. An enclosure similar to the original mass will be part of the 7th floor dwelling unit, providing natural light and access to a terrace at the existing roof level. The roof of this terrace is proposed to be a terrace for the 8th floor dwelling unit."
