Such extensive work is unusual, if not unprecedented, but what complicates the matter at 740 Park is the limestone facing on the street elevations.
Even on Fifth Avenue, a full limestone facade is sumptuous for a commercial structure, and Mr. Brown gave it a double-height second floor designed for a bank tenant, with a giant colonnade on both street elevations.
There he satirized the International style convention of a suspended, nonstructural glass facade by playfully replacing it with retractable glazing and an outer, two-story-high, white fabric curtain that wraps around the two street elevations and can be pulled back to fully open the interior in warm weather.
Officials said the street-elevation plan would eliminate 85 percent of tidal flooding on blocks like 12th Road.
The Cotton Exchange moved in 1886, and it appears that the handsome, muscular fire escapes on the side-street elevations were added shortly after that, by the architect Julius Kastner.
Including other interneighborhood differences in highways and other streets, buildings, and roadside structures (e.g., elevation, street canyons, and shape) may also improve model transferability and generalizability.
It is in Tunnel A to the 33rd Street station, at elevation 203 feet (about 97 feet below sea level), not in Tunnel E from the trade center station, at elevation 212 feet.
Canon Jeffrey John, the theologian whose appointment as Bishop of Reading last May precipitated such a convulsion in the church that he was forced to stand down by his old friend Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, received instead the blessing of Downing Street for his elevation to dean of St Albans.
However, infrastructure geometry data including flood barriers, street and parcel elevations are crucial to accurate flood prediction.
