Elevation drawings depict a flat-roofed structure with regularly arranged rectangular windows across the three residential levels. The front elevation places the raised entrance and exterior stair along one side of the facade, with an egress well at grade. At the rear, another exterior stair serves the ground-level entrance, while a second egress well is shown below grade. The pilot house rises above the main roof and is limited to stair access. The building permit identifies excavation extending at least five feet below grade.<\/p>\n
