"Exterior Alterations:
The exterior of the building was altered in two different phases. One in 1940-42 saw the removal of an ornate clock/bell tower at the center of the roof, the pyramidal roofs of the corner pavilions and some of the stone decorative elements. In 1952-53 an extensive interior and exterior renovation saw the replacement of windows and doors and the blocking of the window transoms in order to lower office ceilings." ~ NRHP nomination Form
