Another six-story addition on Hoyt Street, measuring 60 by 125 feet (18 by 38 m), was constructed between 1906 and 1907 to designs by local architect B. E. Lowe. [21] At the southwest corner of the building, on Hoyt and Livingston streets, was an eight-story wing measuring 100 feet (30 m) wide and 80 feet (24 m) deep, dating from the early 1910s.
Awnings were first used by the ancient Egyptian and Syrian civilizations. They are described as "woven mats" that shaded market stalls and homes. A Roman poet Lucretius, in 50 BC, said "Linen-awning, stretched, over mighty theatres, gives forth at times, a cracking roar, when much 'tis beaten about, betwixt the poles and cross-beams".
Casement windows, including awning and hopper types, "generally have lower air leakage rates than sliding windows because the sash closes by pressing against the frame." [3] Casement windows are also excellent for natural ventilation strategies, especially in hot climates. Casements allow more control of ventilation than flush-opening windows.
