General Architectural Description Architectural Inventory Form (Page 2 of 5) The ZVC Design and Advertising Building is a modest, rectangular -shaped, wood -frame structure, which is located on the west side of Main Street, near the north end of downtown Louisville. The building fronts directly onto a wide concrete sidewalk which parallels Main Street to the east. From 1998 to the present, the building has housed ZVC Design and Advertising. The building is supported by a low concrete foundation, with a bulkhead cellar entrance on the west elevation, and the exterior walls are painted beige vertical wood siding. The roof is a moderately -pitched front gable, with red asphalt shingles and boxed eaves. There are no chimneys. The building's facade, located on the east elevation, is symmetrically arranged, below a false front parapet wall which covers the upper gable end. A glass -in -steel frame entry door, set within a recessed entry, opens onto a 4-step concrete stoop. The entrance is flanked by two large single -light fixed -pane storefront windows, with painted wood frames. Both windows, and the entrance, project slightly from the facade wall surface, and are all covered by a narrow pent roof. Two secondary entrances are located on the south elevation. One is a single steel door, while the other is a single painted white wood -paneled door, with an aluminum storm door. Two lx1 horizontal sliding windows are located on the west (rear) elevation, and two 1/1 double -hung sash windows, with painted brown wood frames and surrounds, and with exterior wood screens, are located on the south elevation. A small Shed is located behind the building to the west. This is a wood -frame structure with a concrete foundation, plywood walls, and a side -gabled roof covered with asphalt shingles. The wood entry door is on the north elevation. §Y x...3'..'!.s.R$.iFIiNNhX+•h'r'J.+. ' .....i.. ....nn m+:?YSPPi:M:i}.4� .., ...:..:.
