The existing façade was designed at a time when modern lines and diverse architectural rhythms rejected the context and cadence of the surrounding buildings in favor of new ideas. The new home for the Chamber of Commerce respects the architectural context of the street by breaking down the façade, which was 60 feet long, to create a more graceful 45 foot wide main elevation stepping out toward the street.  The renovated building follows the pattern and scale created by the windows and storefronts along historic King Street, following a classical hierarchy of form while being rendered in modern tones and textures.
