CULTURAL RESOURCES SURVEY REPORT 4400 Black Ave 19 The main entrance is found where the two front blocks meet. It is recessed ten feet behind the walled garden and sheltered beneath the building’s extended roof. The entrance consists of paired anodized aluminum doors with full-length glazing, a fixed transom above these doors, and narrow, floor to ceiling sidelights to the right and left. The overhanging roof is supported here by square wooden posts that are trimmed at the corners by very thin vertical boards. These boards relate visually to the trim boards found elsewhere in the building. The ground in front of the entrance is surfaced in concrete. Numerous other windows can be found in the building. Like the sidelights at the entrance, all of these windows run from the ground to the roofline and are narrow – two feet in width. Some of these windows are paired, though most are single. Several steel doors can be found in secondary facades. There is also a large roll-up vehicle door in the rear of the building. All of the door and window openings, at the main entrance and elsewhere, are trimmed by flat, dark brown boards. Most of the vertical boards and a few of the horizontal ones are tooled or textured, suggesting that they may be a form of plywood instead of solid wood. The exterior of the building appears to be unchanged since its original construction. The condition is generally good, though horizontal board trim is loose in places, mainly at the base of the walls. The exterior materials seem to have been inexpensive and are somewhat loosely joined at the base of the walls and in the roof overhangs. Figure 12: Front (north) façade
