As written

“Richmond Hill Savings Bank - Floral Park — 1985”

The Floral Park branch was at 170 Tulip Avenue and had already been operating for decades.

Why it matters

A surviving mid-century bank branch that Joseph returned to decades after it opened — a good alteration/restoration story.

Scope confidence

Probable

Likely: selective masonry alteration: likely CMU/block partitions and fire-rated walls, infill or enlargement of openings, patching/rebuilding of existing masonry, and localized brick/stone work rather than the building's original structural frame.

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.
