“Our approach has been of its time,” Craine Architecture studio director Brad Gassman told the commission. “It's reflective of the history, but also respectful. It’s a successful unification of the old and new, and it's a fun approach to setting a historic building off and tying it back into the neighborhood.”
The plan will preserve the Rossonian’s historic facade while demolishing the three buildings next to the Rossonian — also owned by Palisade — to make way for the eight-story hotel addition. Palisade operates the Hooper, a hotel just down the street, and the proposal calls for connecting the Rossonian development with the Hooper for a seamless integration on the block.
“It hasn't been maintained for quite some time,” Gassman said of the need to demolish and restore the roof. “It's also an opportunity for us to use this new roof structure to secure the walls. Some walls on Washington Street are actually moving away from this facade, so this is part of that overall structural remediation.”
