Do not cover, change, or demolish the Tudor style that is especially visible on Lorain and W. 157th!!! It is such a beautiful facade and would be horrible to detract from it. Any exterior alterations should be kept to the rear (Silsby/parking lot side) of the building to maintain its historic integrity.

I’m beginning to hear about renovations to the Westpark branch public library. The Tudor style front and side is a treasure. Please preserve that historic facade. I have visited many times and the interior and back entrance with all that brick could use renovation. Please preserve the character and charm of the historical architecture of the front and side. It is a wonderful institution in our Kamm’s community. A huge draw for me to not uproot and go to the suburbs is the unique character and diversity of Cleveland.

Please do not ruin any historic elements of the exterior of the building. It is a marvel as it is; Walker and Weeks were 5 star architects of their day. Just rennovate the inside to be updated and maybe the exterior on the backside of the building. Do not remove the beautiful bay windows or the architectural elements that make it special. It can be modernized from the inside.
Maintain the element of architectural ornament already existing in the facade today. Whether it is the ornament stylized as it currently is or a new contemporary take on ornament, it is important. It helps to both fit into the history of the neighborhood while still standing out in importance for its beauty and detail.
