| Resource Description: |
The site includes the 4,450 square foot former Friend Paper Company building pressroom, adjacent to a mixed-use building with 61 condominiums with two levels of subterranean parking built in 2007. (The designation is for the Friend Paper Company building only.) Constructed in 1965, the Friend Paper Company consisted of two main spaces: the pressroom, which is located on the southwest corner of Green Street and Delacey Avenue, and the warehouse situated to the south along Delacey Avenue which was demolished in 2005 to prepare the site for the new construction.
The pressroom was the centerpiece of the original design and includes several distinctive exterior features. The folded plate roof has a broad overhang supported by slender columns. On the north (Green Street) elevation the overhang shades an exposed garden area that provides a landscaped buffer between the pressroom and the sidewalk. Floor-to-ceiling windows on the north elevation and clerestory windows on the south elevation illuminate the pressroom within. Exposed pebble aggregate concrete wall panels provide a solid contrast to the sense of transparency created by the extensive plate-glass windows.
