Hi everyone,I specialize in the Architecture portion of the process.

Both of them can help guide you through the process because either way you will likely need to prepare architectural plans to get submitted to the city.When you are ready for the renovation, let us know and we can surely be a resource for you in that department.

I believe the person that approved the plans has more training related to architecture than the inspector.  

Is there a particular architectural style of house you prefer? 

The property features two 1,400 sq ft suites on the main level (one currently leased) and over 3,000 sq ft on the upper level, with 750 sq ft already occupied, 3 small office spaces (+/- 250 sq ft each), and a basement tenant with 1,400 sq ft of storage space.The building generates $6,000 in monthly gross income from its five tenants, but with full occupancy and market-rate rents, it has the potential to bring in $10,000+ per month.Given its historical significance, stunning architectural details, and location, I’m curious about your opinion: Would this property be more marketable for sale with or without the current tenants?

There are homes that have a architectural style where they just resemble a traditional log cabin, but are actually wood frame or something else with a foe-wood on the exterior.

For example an architecture style, graphic style, exterior vs interior and so forth.

Mathematics is the language of the physical universe, and is the foundation upon which all of science, engineering, and architecture stands upon, as well as everything else.

This will be an architecturally interesting building on 2+ acres with power gate at the road and fairly long driveway that sets the house out of sight from the road. 

I would enroll in an architectural college and start drawing my own.
