D Evaluation/Analysis: RA 145 Barrett St is located in the C-4 Downtown Mixed-Use District, between Franklin St and State St. The property is a three-story brick and wood frame structure believed to be originally constructed as a residential townhouse between 1899 and 1900. Most recently the Property was utilized as a jazz club through the 90s until its closure in 2013. Historically, the property was most notably known as the Carpenter’s Union Hall serving as the meeting hall for the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of FT America, Local Union No. 146 from 1928 to 1985. Designating this property as a historic structure and including it within the “OH” Overlay Historic District would open the potential for historic tax credits, while also applying the review standards required for historic properties pursuant to Article X of the Zoning Ordinance. Recommendation: City Council to call for a public hearing. LEGISLATION WILL BE PREPARED BY _____Law Dept._____ 20  145 BARRETT STREET, LLC 205 UNION STREET SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK 12305 (518) 384-5777 – CMARNEY@CSQUAREDMGT.COM ____________________________________________________ April 22, 2022 Marion Porterfield, Council President c/o Avi Epstein, Zoning Officer Schenectady City Council 105 Jay Street Schenectady, New York 12305 via email transmittal aepstein@schenectadyny.gov Re: 145 Barrett Street, Schenectady, New York Application for Designation of Historic Structure Dear Council President Porterfield: D Applicant, 145 Barrett Street, LLC, is the fee simple owner of commercial property at RA 145 Barrett Street, Schenectady, New York 12305 (hereinafter “Property”) (Tax ID No.: 39.80- 1-39) located in the C-4 Downtown Mixed-Use District, most recently utilized as a music venue and bar. Applicant seeks designation of the structure as a historic structure pursuant to Schenectady City Code § 264-75 and application of the “OH Overlay Historic District” (Schenectady City Code § 264-20) to the parcel. FT Section § 264-75 of the Schenectady Zoning Code provides for designation of a historic site or structure where it meets any of the following criteria: (a) Possesses special character or historic or aesthetic interests or value as part of the cultural, political, economic or social history of the locality, region, state or nation; (b) Is identified with historic personages or events; (c) Embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style; (d) Is the work of a designer whose work has significantly influenced an age; or (e) Because of a unique location or singular physical characteristic, represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood. After recommendation by the Historic District Commission, Planning Board and City Council, properties meeting the criteria for designation will have the OH Overlay Historic District zoning applied, the purpose of which “is intended to promote, maintain and enhance areas, buildings and neighborhoods of historic, architectural, cultural or aesthetic value and to promote the purpose and intent of Article X governing historic districts. The OH District provides a means of applying historic district review and protection to individual landmark buildings or to areas of diverse land use that may not reasonably be classified as either an RH-1 or RH-2 Historic District.” The Property qualifies for designation as 1) embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style; and 2) it possesses special character or historic or aesthetic interests or value as part of the cultural, political, economic or social history of the locality, region, state or nation. Application is currently pending before the Schenectady Historic District Commission, for the April 28, 2022 meeting, for recommendation of designation to the city council. 21 Marion Porterfield, Council President Schenectady City Council April 22, 2022 Page 2 of 5 ______________________ Property Description & Distinguishing Characteristics of Architectural Style The Property is a three-story brick and wood frame structure believed to be originally constructed as a residential townhouse between 1899 and 1900.1 Most recently the Property was utilized as a jazz club through the 90s until its closure in 2013. Historically, the Property was most notably known as the Carpenter’s Union Hall serving as the meeting hall for the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local Union No. 146 from 1928 to 1985. Photographs of the exterior and interior of the property are attached here as Schedule A. The parcel is shown as Lot No. 1 on the March 20, 1903 “Map of Property belonging to The Est. of Lewis M. Clements2.” While the survey shows the brick walls of neighboring structures, and the current legal description for the parcel references a neighboring brick dwelling, there is unfortunately no indication of a structure on the 1903 survey. The Sanborn maps dated 1894 and 1899 do not show a structure on the parcel either, however, by the release D of the 1900 map a structure is shown which matches the footprint of the current building. On or about September 30, 1903, title was passed to John M. Clement through sale from RA a court appointed referee for the Estate of Lewis M. Clement. References list 145 Barrett Street as the address for John M. Clement, who served as a Supervisor for the Schenectady Public Relief, and his wife Rosella Clement as early as 1899.3 John Clement’s time at 145 Barrett Street was short lived, as he died at some point between 1907 and 1909, leaving his wife the sole heir pursuant to his Last Will and Testament which was admitted to probate March 22, 1909.4 FT By May of 1915, she remarried to Vernon B. Crounse of 833 Albany Street in a ceremony “at the residence of the bride.” “The house was tastefully decorated with palms, potted plants and cut flower.”5 The house stayed with Rosella Crounse (formerly Clement) until March 8, 1923 when it was sold to a Sophia Hussong, and sold again in April 22, 1924 to Charles A. Sullivan and Annie Reinhard. During this period, and possibly during the end of Ms. Crounse’s ownership, the home housed boarders.6 This continued until 1928 which saw an advertisement for sale for, “ROOMING house to lease or for sale, furnished, brick building, 30 seconds to business section, always filled. Has 15 rooms, 2 baths, steam heat, fire escapes, etc. Available May 1st. Here is a 1 Map of Property belonging to The Est. of Lewis M. Clements dated March 20, 1903.

Inspection invited. Located at 145 Barrett St., Schenectady. Tel. 9622. Terms from owner.”7 Shortly thereafter, on July 2, 1928, the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local Union No. 146 took title. The Property underwent a substantial renovation in 1928 to accommodate the use as the Carpenter’s Union Hall. A large meeting hall and stage was constructed on the second floor with 15-foot coffered tin ceilings, while the first floor was converted to retail space also featuring period tin ceilings. During their ownership, newspaper records indicate that while the second floor was reserved for the Carpenter’s Union Hall meetings, and was let for other meetings and events, the first floor housed several commercial and retail ventures from 1928 to its conversion to a bar and music venue in the 1980s.8 Upon Applicant’s acquisition of title, the vestiges of the 1920s tin-clad union hall and retail use were largely obfuscated by a 1980s faux art deco sheet rock and drop ceiling shell built D within the 1920s floor plan. Demolition of these materials revealed period tin ceilings and plaster walls typical of the early 20th century. Records indicate that the Property was converted to commercial use around the time the Carpenter’s Union acquired title in 1928 and the property RA underwent a substantial renovation. While much of the plaster work has been destroyed due to moisture from improper insulation, the tin ceilings are largely intact, as are the windows, floor plan and maple floors from this period. Interior examination indicates the original structure was a ‘walk up’ townhouse lowered to street level presumably for the commercial conversion with an extension added to the back of the building for increased space. FT Perhaps best described as colonial revival, the exterior of the structure is entirely masonry and brick featuring two slate faced dormers with divided light windows on the top floor above a simple projecting cornice with built in gutter. The ornamentation and lintels are very basic and traditional for a commercial structure in the 20th century. The existing roof is asphalt and EPDM rubber. The store front is supported by a steel header with a simple metal cornice which provides a clean horizontal articulation between the building and the store front. The store front is not original to the structure and was replaced during the 1980s and again requires replacement. The store front contains vinyl windows which also require replacement. We have, unfortunately, not found any photographic record of the original store front. The Property remains one of the few historic properties left in what was once originally a residential street containing numerous townhouses along Barrett Street. It is an early 20th century example of an adaptive reuse conversion of a residential structure to commercial, likely due to what was a rapid expansion of downtown Schenectady, and embodies the distinguishing 7 The Knickerbocker Press, Friday, April 6, 1928. 8 Dr. Van Alstyne Dentist, 1928; Burroughs Adding Machine Co., 1929; The National Cash Register Company, 1935; Remington Electric Shaver Service, 1956; Jesse J.

Special character or historic or aesthetic interests or value as part of the cultural, political, economic or social history of the locality, region, state or nation In the wake of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911, where nearly 150 mostly young women workers lost their lives, the worker rights movement exploded. Just months later, tens of thousands of men, women and children joined picket lines in Lawrence, Massachusetts in what would later be called the Bread and Roses strike. World War I was just a few years away from bringing production levels to new heights and just 30 years earlier, the nation's first Labor Day parade was held in New York City. The labor movement as we know it today -- the one that brought about the 5-day work week, overtime laws and an end to child labor -- was in full swing. And union membership meant union halls in New York State and around the nation were D bursting at the seams. In 1906, Schenectady was host to what was the United States' first sit-in strike as 2,000 to RA 3,000 workers at General Electric, members of the Industrial Workers of the World, initiated a strike to oppose plant management. The leading organizations in the city at the time were the Schenectady Labor Temple Association and the Schenectady Trades Assembly, chartered in 1898. They shared goals and often partnered with many other organizations, including fraternal organizations and churches. The City Teachers Association of Schenectady was founded in 1918 FT to promote standards of professionalism in teaching. Other active local unions represented carpenters, newspaper workers, hotel and restaurant workers, electricians, plumbers and pipe fitters, painters, bricklayers and laborers. Unions played a vital role in connecting thousands of new immigrants to both careers and community in Schenectady. By the late 1920s, the labor movement in Schenectady, as was the case across America, had weakened in number -- due to anti-labor court decisions and a string of pro-business presidents -- but not in spirit. Soon after the Great Depression, organized labor rebounded and soared to new heights as the New Deal brought new protections for workers and renewed support for organized labor. The Carpenter’s Union Hall was one of many union halls, and fraternal halls, throughout the city. In fact the neighboring property, now a law firm, served as both the Schenectady Lodge No. 480, Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks and later as Schenectady Lodge #227 Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Sadly, many of the expansive hall spaces, with their vaulted ceilings and period features, are lost or otherwise converted into multiple floors of apartments or offices. Carpenter’s Union Hall remains largely unaltered. In light of the foregoing, Applicant respectfully requests referral to the Schenectady Planning Commission for recommendation pursuant to Schenectady City Code § 264-75 and Article XIX, and subsequent resolution authorizing the application of the “OH Overlay Historic 24 Marion Porterfield, Council President Schenectady City Council April 22, 2022 Page 5 of 5 ______________________ District” to Applicant’s parcel.

The specific property addresses are 1276 Belmont Ave (40.45-2-2), 1278 Belmont Ave (40.45-2-3) and 1288 Belmont Ave (40.45-2-5.1). D Evaluation/Analysis: RA The three parcels included in the rezoning request are currently owned and maintained by Sunnyview. In total, the three parcels are approximately .57 acres in size. The parcels immediately abut the “I” Institutional zoning district, in which the Sunnyview and Ellis Hospital campus are located. Sunnyview has been experiencing steady growth over the past decade and with a new expansion planned FT for the building, additional parking to accommodate the site will become necessary. The use as a parking lot is not permitted in the R-1 zoning district, however, it is allowed within the Institutional zoning district. Two of the parcels are currently used as parking, as they predated the current zoning regulations. The third parcel is currently vacant land and the site of a former single-family home. If the parcels are rezoned, Sunnyview intends on applying for site plan review from the Planning Commission to make modifications to the current parking and to establish new parking for overflow as needed. The uses allowed within the “I” Institutional zoning district are restricted to those that would respect the existing campus as well as the surrounding residential neighborhood. The Institutional zoning district also allows for residential dwellings as-of-right. Recommendation: City Council to call for a public hearing for the rezoning of approximately .57 (+/-) acres along Belmont Ave from the “R-1” Single-Family Residential District to the “I” Institutional zoning district.
