During design review for the mixed-use building, several changes to the exterior were approved: the clerestory windows on the south elevation of the pressroom were replaced with fire-rated glass to allow for windows in the new construction on the opposite side; the roof overhang on south elevation was removed; and most of the original light fixtures (“Florentine” lamps), which had been broken over the years, were recreated.
When the pressroom was sold, alterations were required to convert the building into two viable commercial spaces. The owner applied for Consolidated design review and staff analyzed the design for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the Illustrated Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. These alterations included: a new pedestrian entrance into the existing east-facing stone-embedded wall located within the recessed garden area near the main entrance; repositioning outward the existing, recessed first-floor glazed entry door and adjacent recessed glazed walls to create more usable space for the ground-floor café and adding operable doors in the side glazed walls to allow access from the café to the outdoor patio and landscaped area; constructing an accessibility ramp in front of existing service door located off the garden at the western end of the Greet Street elevation; repositioning the existing full-height glazed walls at the second-floor deck to enclose this space; relocating the original wood benches from roof terrace to the garden area adjacent to main entrance; relocating and restoring the original “Friend Paper Company” sign to the garden area at the western end of the Green Street elevation; and installing new signage to be located on existing north facing stone embedded wall. The application was approved and work has been completed.

100 W. Green Street is significant as an example of Mid-century Modern architecture (Expressionistic/Organic subtype), designed by notable local architect Whitney Smith. The building has a high level of architectural integrity (its ability to demonstrate why it is significant) through its design, materials, and workmanship. Character-defining features include: the folded plate canopy, minimal extraneous ornamentation, exposed pebble aggregate concrete walls, clean lines, planar walls, extensive use of glazed windows, and the general industrial character. Previous alterations to the building are consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards.
