Prior to the three-year seismic retrofit and historic restoration, the Public Affairs Office was in one of those parts of the building, with lots of drywall, false ceilings, 1970s-era plaid curtains, you name it. Plus the original wood accents had been ripped out.
I can't imagine who would have ever approved such a thing, but it was done. Perhaps it was a sign of the times.
When I learned that Public Affairs would move into the former location of the City Attorney's Office upon the completion of the retrofit, I was thrilled because that's one of the most historically untouched parts of the building.
I love my door with the transom window above it. Here it is from inside my office...
...and here it is from the hallway outside my office.
I promise to be a good steward.
Sincerely Yours,
