[Nicole Pion]

Hi Stewart,

Thanks so much for meeting with Beth and me last night.  We're really
looking forward to working with you and your colleagues.  I know you
mentioned that you need floor plans, so here are those that I can access.
I've also included pictures of the original elevations from 1914, just
because I thought they might be interesting for you to see!

If you need more details, please let us know.  And, thanks again!

Nicole
