The Gaithersburg Historic District Commission will conduct a courtesy review of proposed modifications to the bank building at 22 N. Summit Avenue in Olde Towne Gaithersburg at its July 28, 2021 meeting. Changes proposed would allow the building to be converted to a laundromat. The bank was constructed in 1891.
Proposed changes include a new door along the south elevation; new air vents along the North, South and West elevations; removal of the drive through window; additional landscaping beds added to the parking lot; the addition of a fence in the existing drive-thru lane to screen new HVAC equipment; and the adaptive reuse of the freestanding drive-through canopy for required motorcycle parking.
Planning staff is recommending approval of the plan. A staff report suggests the proposed changes will not harm the integrity of the building or the surrounding structures.
Someone may lose from the competition, there's an existing laundry only 700 ft. away.
