ITEM SUMMARY:
Hiram’s Masonic Social Club, tenant of 183 West Washington Street, is requesting approval of a Cer-
tificate of Appropriateness for window signage previously placed on the entrance door to the space.
The space is associated with the existing Masonic Lodge located within the same building. The sign
on the door is 3 square feet, which is 27% of the total glass on the window. While the amount of sign-
age is more than the maximum 20% typically allowed on windows in the Turner Junction Historic Dis-
trict, it is less than the 50% maximum permitted by the Zoning Code. The signage in all other respects
complies with the signage requirements in the Zoning Code. Please see attached photo for more de-
tails.

The building is a Classic Revival constructed in 1908. The building is contributing to the Historic Dis-
trict and is a candidate for local landmark status.

ACTION PROPOSED:

Consideration of door signage at 183 W Washington Street for Hiram’s Masonic Social Club that co-
vers 27% of the window area on the door.
