AWARD WINNING ROCHESTER AIA MIXED USE, NEW BUILD CORE & SHELL REVIT SKETCHUP
OVERVIEW 260 E. Broad St is a 107,000 sf, five-story mixed use building in downtown Rochester. The designers were challenged to create solutions for a mixeduse project that would not only house the workspace for an anchor tenant but also promote their brand and commitment to Rochester. The facility provides retail, dining, and multiple residential units, supporting Rochester’s demand for urban living. It was important to recognize the location of the project being on a main entry road into downtown. The design makes literal and perceived connections to the immediately adjacent urban fabric of downtown as well as to the three-story parking garaged below. The design intentionally celebrates its programmatic elements - the residential units by punctuating the building’s facade with outdoor living spaces, the commercial spaces through expanses of glass and the retail spaces through a design that engages the public realm. The commitment to the creation of spaces for shared uses as well as the design’s flexibility for changing tenant needs in the future differentiates the project from neighboring renovations.

CHAPTER 3. HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
OVERVIEW The Village of Johnson City, NY was an industrial city with its hay day in the late 1800s, early 1900s. It is known for the Endicott-Johnson Corporation, a shoe factory, headed by George F. Johnson. Johnson believed it was the responsibility of the modern, innovative employer to provide for the welfare of their workers. His progressive labor policies became known as the “Square Deal” for workers. Due to the decline of necessity for manual labor in production the village began to decline in the latter half of the 1900s. Bergmann was approached to create a user-friendly Historic Preservation Guidebook for the Village that highlights the benefits of preservation and best practices for building owners. These guidelines are intended to educate and assist owners with preserving and maintaining the remaining historic structures in the Village. Assisted in existing conditions site reconnaissance, developing the preservation guidelines as well as developing graphics to illustrate the guidebook.

BUILDING TYPES & STYLES
CHAPTER 2
BUILDING TYPES The Johnson City Historic District consists of a mixture of public, commercial, residential and industrial buildings that contribute to the historic district designation. A majority of the buildings were built between 1888 and 1966. Within these building types are various architectural styles popular during the time of construction as well as vernacular architecture that evolved during the Village’s growth and development. PUBLIC BUILDINGS The Village’s history is reflected in many of the historic district’s public buildings. Public buildings house public services such as churches, schools, government offices and transportation functions such as railroad stations. Many of these public amenities were established by George F. JOHNSON CITY POST OFFICE. Johnson for the good of the workers at 307 MAIN STREET the Endicott-Johnson Corporation as a part of his “Square Deal.” These buildings include the former company firehouse and municipal building (NW corner of Corliss St & Willow St), the former company medical building (NE corner of Corliss Street and Broad Street), and the company recreational hall (117/109 Main Street), the Goodwill Theater (36 Willow Street), two churches (on Main Street at FORMER FIRE HOUSE. 15 AVENUE B the east and west end of the district on prominent corners) and library (107 Main Street). Other buildings were built as part of the public works projects initiated by the federal government during the COMMERCIAL Great Depression like the Johnson VERNACULAR City Post Office (307 Main Street). The While some buildings can be identified as US Post Office, Goodwill Theater and a certain architectural style, or High Style, Your Home Library aremost all listed on the buildings are a mixture of elements National Register of Historic Places. styles mixed with vernacular from traditional architecture.
FORMER RECREATION HALL. 117 MAIN STREET
For early commercial buildings on Main Street in America, the brick-front store was the most popular Guidebook vernacular design for many years 26 Johnson City Historic Preservation which is evident in the west section of Main Street within the Village’s historic district. These buildings are composed of one to three stories and are usually in groups up to a block in length, sharing adjoining- or partywalls. Brick-front characteristics resulted from 250 MAIN STREET. the interaction of elements on the grid that emphasized the façade. Stores were narrow and deep, with single or double windows on the upper floors, panels of brickwork, brick friezes, decorative lintels or sills, and string courses or sections of belt courses that divided the wall laterally. Commercial façades were usually clad with brick as opposed to stone in order to create a more refined appearance. Display space was conventional, whether the entrance was on or off-center. Storefronts spanned the width of the first floor broken up by mullions, sitting on bulkheads and capped with a simple or small cornice on the façade, separating the commercial first floor from the upper stories which often housed offices or residential spaces. The level of transparency differs by floor; the ground floor is very transparent and open to passersby, whereas the upper floors are less transparent in the interest of privacy. Canted bay windows, which were built to allow a large amount light to enter the room, can be found in the district at the western end of Main Street on upper stories.

Within each typology are several architectural styles indicative of the trends at the time of the village’s hay day. There are a handful of examples of high styles represented in the commercial and public/civic buildings. However, most of the buildings in the district are vernacular style residential and industrial buildings, a testament to the contributions of the working class to the village’s history. Descriptions of each typology as well as diagrams detailing significant features of architectural styles are presented to aid in identification of significance for historic buildings.
Significant Architectural Styles
•
•
Most of the commercial buildings in the Village were constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The commercial district has two distinct textures: the denser west end and the less dense east end. The west section of Main Street (between Arch and Willow Streets) consists of structures with side walls that are often shared with or secured to those of the adjacent structure (e.g., party walls). Side walls that face a street or a yard echo the façade’s composition, while those that face alleys or service walks stand free. Most of this section is made up two- and three-story brick buildings with flat roofs and shallow setbacks from the sidewalk. The east end of Main Street (east of Willow Street) is less dense and consists of one- and two- story buildings separated by side yards, driveways and parking lots with larger setbacks from the public right of way.

CHAPTER 3
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION
AFFORDABLE HOUSING The Village of Johnson City as a historic preservation community can address the issue of affordable housing with a policy agenda for older and historic neighborhoods that would include, but not be limited to the following:
Historic preservation has numerous community-based impacts, including the stabilization of property values, neighborhood protection from inappropriate changes to the public realm, and the promotion of civic pride. When investments are made in lower income neighborhoods, neighborhoods are revitalized and become attractive destinations for tourists, new residents and expanded economic activity.
1.
Create more local historic districts to protect valuable cultural resources and preserve a rapidly vanishing inventory of affordable housing
2. Inaugurate a fast-track system for the acquisition and redevelopment of vacant, abandoned, and tax-foreclosed properties
The Village of Johnson City and the Town of Union Economic Development Department, which provides financial assistance to start-up and expanding businesses through the Local Development Corporation, has focused on the revitalization of the downtown core through incentive programs.
3. Give priority to older and historic neighborhoods for infrastructure improvements, police attention, recreation and park facilities, and especially schools
The Town of Union Business Assistance (TUBA) Program, Central Business District (CBD) Program, Commercial Facade Program, Emerging Enterprise/Emerging Market Entrepreneurial (E³), Microenterprise Program, Section 108 Program and Site Preparation Program Funding are several of the loan programs offered through the Local Development Corporation of the Town of Union. This assistance helps keep historic main streets and downtowns economically viable.
See the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Historic Preservation and Affordable Housing: The Missed Connection for more information about how the revitalization of historic urban neighborhoods can improve the quality of life among disadvantaged households due to the prevalence of transportation options, walkability, and quick access to resources inherently present in historic urban neighborhoods.
56 Johnson City Historic Preservation Guidebook
SUCCESS STORIES The design team collaborated with building owners to find local success stories for rehabilitation. These owners provided their input as far as the preservation process and their projects are featured as positive examples in the guidebook (above), along with examples from other historic districts around the country (right).
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR’S STANDARDS
CASE STUDY: ADAPTIVE REUSE CENTURY SUNRISE The Apartments at Century Sunrise is located in the former EndicottJohnson Corporation’s Sunrise Group, which consists of the Sunrise Building (1929) and the South End Factory (1918). Both industrial buildings are clustered along the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western rail lines between Baldwin and Willow Streets in the location where the first industrial expansion took place in the Village. The buildings are contributing properties to the Johnson City National Register Historic District. They feature brick curtain walls and large, metal sash industrial windows with a flat roof. The five- and four-story buildings feature a central corridor, which was essential in the rehabilitation, with stair towers at each comer. A skyway at the third story used to connect the Sunrise Building with the Endicott-Johnson Jigger Factory (1926), a four-story brick industrial building located across the railroad tracks to the north. This building was demolished in February 2012 and is now used as a parking lot for Binghamton University’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. This mixed-use adaptive reuse project is the first project in the Johnson City iDistrict to provide modern housing within walking distance to Binghamton University’s Health Sciences Campus, which is the district’s economic driver and anchor institution. This new satellite campus consists of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
Once the building’s style is identified the proper treatment can be selected, whether that be preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, or reconstruction. Since the most common treatment will most likely be rehabilitation the Standards of Rehabilitation are then explained and diagrammed. References are made to corresponding Preservation Briefs by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and where they can be found online for further information about specific issues. Other tips and tricks are highlighted in sidebars throughout the guidebook.
Century Sunrise features 105 apartments, some of which are affordable units, and 7,500 square feet of commercial space. The 33-million-dollar project was undertaken by Regan Development Corporation and utilized a mixture of financial incentives, including grant funding from Round 6 of the REDC’s URI, the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery, Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) and the New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) Homes for Working Families Program, as well as equity investment though the Federal/State Low Income Housing and Historic Preservation Tax Credit Programs. This project serves as a great example for how to leverage multiple funding sources successfully.
CHAPTER 5
Johnson City Historic Preservation Guidebook 57
Paint Color Paint analysis can reveal the storefront’s historic paint colors and may be worth undertaking if a careful restoration is desired. If not, the paint color should be, at a minimum, appropriate to the style and setting of the building. This means that if the building is located in a historic district, the color selection should complement not only the building but surrounding neighborhood. In general, color schemes for wall and major decorative trim or details should be kept simple; in most cases the color or colors chosen for a storefront should be used on other painted exterior detailing (windows, shutter, cornice, etc.) to unify upper and lower portions of the façade. Windows Glass windows are generally the most prominent features in historic storefronts, and care should be taken to ensure that they are properly maintained. Transparency of the first floor should be greater than that of the upper floors. First floor transparency allows for enhanced customer interaction between the street and the interior of the commercial space. Upper story transparencies maintain light into the residential or office spaces while also affording a level of privacy. Replacing windows with ones that do not reflect the original shape of the opening, especially if they are smaller, are not historically appropriate as they do not reflect the character of the building and reduce the amount of transparency of the façade. Garage Doors/Moveable Transparent Walls Transparency can also be incorporated into storefronts in more creative ways. Some adaptive reuse projects can utilize new storefront design for doors, transoms and display areas. For example, a storefront that has been so severely modified or altered that it no longer retains historic integrity can incorporate overhead doors within the new façade design in order to allow for visibility into and out of the store.
104 Johnson City Historic Preservation Guidebook
CLOSED
PAINT COLOR The paint color for this store front is not appropriate for the historic district. The rest of the district is filled with muted colors as well as natural earth tones. Additionally, the lack of transparency on the ground floor is inappropriate for the district. This is clearly not the original storefront and should be replaced with a more historically compatible one.
WINDOWS This is a good example of transparency in a historic commercial building. The first floor has full length windows that connect the store to the street. The upper floors have smaller windows which provide privacy to the residences or offices. The windows clearly fit in the openings in the facade indicating that they are the original windows or historically accurate replacements.
GARAGE DOORS This building is one of Denver’s first fire stations from the 1880s and therefore has historical significance to the city. However, it was no longer being used as a fire station and was deteriorating. The building underwent a full-scale restoration and reopened as a restaurant called Woodie Fisher, a seasonal and approachable eatery at the Hilton Garden Inn. The restoration entailed stabilizing the structure and preserving the arched windows, and maintaining the garage door openings.

MASONRY / STONE
Masonry and stone is found most often as exterior walls of public and commercial buildings as well as in architectural details. The term “masonry” includes all types of natural stone, brick, terra cotta and adobe, as well as concrete and other cementitious materials. Common conditions or issues to look for include spalling or crumbling mortar, which is often caused by ground moisture, leaking downspouts or natural freeze/thaw cycles. Additionally, masonry and stone are often covered with stucco, mastic or paint or show stains or graffiti.
TREATMENT
METHODOLOGY •
It is important to remember that many mid-nineteenth century brick buildings were painted immediately or soon after construction to protect poor quality brick or to imitate stone. Some historic masonry buildings not originally painted were painted at a later date to hide alterations or repairs, or to solve recurring maintenance or moisture problems. Thus, whether for reasons of historical tradition or practicality, it may be preferable to retain existing paint. TREATMENT •
CLEAN
Repointing - If mortar is missing, repoint using mortar of the same composition, color, texture, and hardness, as well as the joint size and profile of the original. If the mortar is harder than that stone/masonry around it then the stone/masonry will deteriorate faster.
•
DO NOT SAND BLAST or BLAST CLEAN. This leaves the masonry porous and more susceptible to water infiltration and damage, especially during freeze/thaw cycles. Historic masonry should be cleaned only when necessary to halt deterioration or to remove graffiti and stains using the gentlest means possible, such as water and a mild detergent using natural bristle brushes, and/or a nonharmful chemical solution, both followed by a low-pressure water rinse. If new paint cannot be removed without using abrasive methods, it is best to leave the masonry painted. Repainting in a compatible color may help visually, however.
Guidebook PDF: https://www.gobroomecounty.com/sites/default/files/dept/planning/ pdfs/VillageJCHistoricGuidebook2021.pdf
MISSING MORTAR UNTREATED
METHODOLOGY •
REPAIR
Similar guidelines apply to mastic. Its removal by mechanical means may result in abrading the masonry, and chemical and heat methods may prove ineffective—although solvents like acetone will aid in softening the hardened mastic. If the mastic has become brittle, a flat chisel may be used to pop it off. This technique, if not undertaken with care, may result in damaging the masonry. If complete removal is not possible, the mastic may have permanently stained the masonry. These damaged or stained masonry pieces can be replaced in-kind but replacement with an exact match is challenging. It is advised to paint over the masonry damage to maintain a uniform appearance.

Spalling - Spalling is the erosion or breaking off of small pieces of brick or stone. Deteriorated stone may be replaced in-kind, or with a matching substitute material. In some cases where not visually prominent, the area may be covered with stucco and possibly scored to resemble blocks of stone. Replacement of a large area with new materials may not be acceptable as it may give the building an appearance that is inappropriate to the visual character of a building.
CHAPTER 5
TREATMENT
94 Johnson City Historic Preservation Guidebook
COMMON PRESERVATION ISSUES Common preservation issues prevalent within the Village are highlighted as well as possible solutions for said issues to give building owners a place to start with regard to rehabilitation. The most common issues within the Village are demolition by neglect, deferred maintenance, and inappropriate rehabilitation strategies. Windows boarded up, inappropriate signage, masonry spalling, covering original materials in more modern ones, and buildings abandoned altogether are prevalent among the Village’s building stock.
METHODOLOGY •
EVIDENCE OF BRICK Wood can be painted withSPALLING. sand-impregnated paint to imitate cut ashlar stone.
•
ScoringJohnson stucco into patterns was fairlyGuidebook common in colonial America 95 Cityblock Historic Preservation to imitate stone. This can be used to replace the look of natural stone.
•
Terra-cotta, a molded fired clay product, was itself a substitute material and was very popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It simulated the appearance of intricately carved stonework, which was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Terra cotta could be glazed to imitate a variety of natural stones, from brownstones to limestones, or could be colored for a polychrome effect.
REPLACE •
Dry-tamp cast stone or textured precast concrete may be a suitable substitute if care is taken to ensure that the detail, color and texture of the original stone are matched. It is used both for surface wall stones and for ornamental features such as window and door surrounds, voussoirs, brackets and hoods.
•
Cementitious patching can be used for sandstone repairs.
•
Plastic stone can be used for masonry repairs.

An example of how matching historic stone color and texture can be a challenge. Using substitute materials can be preferable due to its greater control of texture and color. Image Source: NPS Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation
STAMPED METAL PANEL
The stamped metal facade faces a parking lot. It can be assumed that there used to be a building here that was demolished. The building owner chose to use stamped, painted metal to represent the brick that would typically be on the exterior facade of a building of this style. The condition of the metal panels in this example is deteriorated and in need of refurbishment (see rippling and upturned corners of the paneling). However, if not maintained properly this can be an acceptable substitution for the expensive brick facade. The metal paneling is easier to clean, easier to replace & less cost prohibitive than brick. The condition of the wall beneath the paneling is unknown based on this photograph. Before using a solution like stamped metal paneling to replace masonry, the original facade should be evaluated for structural integrity as well as for any problems such as water damage/infiltration. These problems could be hidden by the metal paneling causing significant damage in the future and more costly repairs.
APPROPRIATE REPAIR In left image, the cornice and its stone detailing is deteriorating so instead of replacing the whole cornice with replacement stone of the same kind which may be hard to find, cast stone was used to imitate the historic stone in the right image.
STRATEGIES FOR COMPATIBLE MODIFICATION Proper rehabilitation strategies are thoroughly diagrammed and explained as well as where to find further information and/or professionals to contact for consultations or advice. This section also details how a building owner may approach the Village historic review committee to receive approval and/or funding for their rehabilitation projects.

TOWN OF PENFIELD
BRIEF HISTORY:
CLARK HOUSE REHABILITATION
The Clark House at 600 Whalen Road in Penfield, NY, was constructed as a single-family residence in 1832, a two-story wood-framed Federal Style house of approximately 770 sf with 300 sf of covered porches. The house was remodeled and expanded several times. In the late 1920’s, the house was sold to the Dolomite Corporation, which founded the Shadow Pines Golf Club, and the house was converted into the clubhouse/restaurant and pro shop. Several additions were built over crawl spaces. A pole barn was constructed adjacent to the Clark House, intended to house the gold carts and grounds maintenance equipment. Though not conditioned the cart barn was designed in a similar style to the Clark House. The current footprint of the Clark House is approximately 6,400 sf and the cart barn is approximately 2,500 sf. It is understood that Clark House has long been listed on New York’s Historic Building Survey and was designated a Local Historic Landmark by the Town of Penfield in 2018.
PROJECT UPDATE 12.8.2021
The golf course was closed in 2016 and the Clark House restaurant closed at the same time. In 2018 the site and building were purchased by the Town of Penfield, with the intent to rehabilitate to accommodate a new restaurant-type tenant.

and streamline permitting and approval processes of future development in downtown Amsterdam by regulating the physical form of the built environment.
The regulations are broken down into building design/form such as facade transparency ratios, sign regulations such as placement and size, and site regulations such as set backs and rights of way. The regulations that apply to all areas of the DRI area make up Section 4. Any regulations that require more specification or are specific to a subarea are included in Sections 6, 7 & 8.
Assisted the lead planner by attending stakeholder meetings, facilitating public engagement/feedback, editing text/format, and developing graphics to improve understanding of the document by all parties.
This Form-Based Code builds upon the vision established in the City of Amsterdam’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) Strategic and Investment Plan to establish a cohesive welcoming downtown environment. The code will improve physical character and aesthetics of the downtown, promote walkability and multi-modal access, protect historic resources,

OVERVIEW This project proposed a trail system in Western New York connecting various small towns and cities to each other as well as to local ecological areas and parks. Gateways and trailheads contain wayfinding with information about the environment and trail system as well as amenities such as benches, bike racks, and garbage receptacles. Developed renderings of proposed streetscape upgrades, trail system gateways, parklets, and trails.

VESTAL FIRE STATION 4 The town of Vestal contracted Bergmann to design a facility to replace the existing Fire Station 4. The new station design has three distinct program areas: the 5-bay apparatus bay, the entry/radio room, and the administration area which includes offices, locker room, a kitchen and rec area, large training room, small conference room, and a decontamination area. These three programs were translated into masses with the radio room prominent and central to the design. The aesthetic of the facility combines the traditional look of a fire station with more modern materials and detailing. The black & white image below is a concept sketch for the design, followed by the final proposal rendering presented to the town for approval. Programs used: •

VESTAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES The town of Vestal retained Bergmann to design an EMS facility. The building is approximately 11,000 sf and includes 5 vehicle apparatus bays, office space, training areas, and a residential area for staff who temporarily live at the facility. This project was commissioned in 2018 and was completed in the summer of 2021. An exterior view rendering is shown above. To the left is an interior rendering of the day room/kitchen.
