1130 K Street was originally constructed in 1924 as the Weinstock & Lubin department store, a stylistic combination of Beaux Arts and Classical design elements. In recent years, the building has been converted to office use, sitting just one block from the California State Capitol. The proposed two-story addition to the structure seeks to invigorate the building with a simple modern form that steps back from the ornate facade while providing a contrast intended to highlight the original rich detailing of this historic resource.
