As written

“Brooks Brothers - Eastchester — Undated”

Vernon Hills was developed in the 1950s and Brooks Brothers became a longtime tenant at 696 White Plains Road. Nike now operates its Scarsdale store at that same address.

Why it matters

Not every Joseph project needs to be monumental: this one shows how a familiar suburban commercial landmark can survive physically while its identity disappears.

Scope confidence

Probable

Likely: most likely interior CMU/block shafts, service cores, fire-rated partitions and masonry backup; exterior brickwork is likely only if the project-specific facade was brick rather than stone, precast, metal or glass.

This scope is recorded as probable, not documented. It is a disciplined reading of the building and the trade practice of the period, not a contract-level record of Kelly’s work.
