May 26, 1981
First Lutheran Church of Little Rock, Arkansas, is planning a major renovation
of its Christian Education Building. The structure is unsafe and no longer suits the needs
of the church. Studies were initiated last fall by the Building Committee to determine type
of occupancy and a general design philosophy. On February 26, 1981, a contract was
executed with David E. Blaine, A. I. A. The design schedule developed provided for com-
pletion of plans and specifications by May 15, 1981, with a tentative advertising date of
May 22, 1981.
The design selected by the church and developed by the architect is submitted
for your review and the granting of a Certificate of Appropriateness. The inclosed
drawings and narrative description present the changes desired to the existing building.
It is the intent and desire of the congregation to provide a companion structure to the
church that will provide compatibility and safety.
Your favorable consideration of this submission will be appreciated.
Yours very truly,

Outline materials and methods specifications for the exterior
renovation.
A. DEIr OLITIUIZ
1. Complete removal of the existing exterior, deteriorated,
sand pressed brick masonry to the foundation line.
2. Remove the existing deteriorated and out -sized wood
windows, doors, and supporting framing.
3. Remove the existing concrete front entry steps both to
the main level and those going to the basement.
4. Remove the existing flag pole and steel fire escape
steps on the front and rear elevations of the building
that were installed during the period that the building
was used as an elementary school educational facility.
B. RE' CUTISTRUCTIOTA
1. Install a cast stone base wainscote matching, approximately,
in elevation the cast stone base wainscote on the
neighboring church structure.
2. Re -bricking from the wainscote base to the cornice line
with brick that matches the brick on the neighboring
church and parsonage building.
3. Installing cast stone window and door trim with cast stone
spandrel panels at the floor locations.
4. Replace and reduce the existing glass area with aluminum
anodized awning windows with insulating glass, color bronze.
5. Reloc��te and install aluminum anodized doors at ground level
to facilitate access to the building from the church to the
south of the educational building and the drive to the north
of the building. This access arrangement eliminates dangerous
exterior steps.
6. Construction of an entry court to be partially paved, leaving
planting areas. This area is to be delineated from public
areas by means of low matching brick wall with openings as
required by circulation.

7. The roof has been replaced and will not require additional
work except for neva plumbing vents as may be required by
interior toilet area revisions, etc.
8. Because of deterioration, beginning to become serious, in
many of the exposed rafter tails, we have elected to box
in the roof cornice to match the neighboring church and
parsonage.
