Case Study: A proposed new canopy at 610 West End |
 |
Things change! When owners of landmark buildings wish to make changes, they need to apply for what's called a Certificate of Appropriateness (C of A). LW's C of A Committee works with building owners and their architects to advise on design and protect the integrity of our constantly evolving neighborhood. |

2008 Proposal |
 |
||
C of A In Action The Evanston, 610 West End Ave. The Evanston commissioned Francoise Bollack Architects to design a contemporary metal-and-glass entrance canopy inspired by the geometry of George and Edward Blum, original architects of this and many other Upper West Side apartment buildings.
