Office of Archaeological Research Aspect: Throughout the building, historical fixtures such as vacuum outlets, doorstops, etc. still survive and contribute to the overall integrity of the interior. Recommendations: These should be retained wherever possible. Aspect: In some corridors particle board covers the original plastered walls. Recommendations: Unhealthy and unsightly at best they detract from the historic fabric of the interior and should be removed. Aspect: Several original stairwells have been blocked, namely those adjacent to the gymnasium. Recommendations: These stairwells should be unblocked and retained.

Office of Archaeological Research Aspect: All corridors and classrooms have modern tile floors. Period newspaper articles indicate that the original flooring was wood. Recommendations: If practical, the linoleum tile should be replaced with hardwood flooring. Aspect: The original supply closets and chalk trays remain in a number of classrooms. Recommendations: These add to the overall integrity of the interior and should be retained. Aspect: During renovations, especially in the basement, old books and newspapers may be discovered. Recommendations: These should be kept by the Board. Should school personnel not wish to keep these materials should then be turned over to the Birmingham Public Library Archives. Aspect: The skylights help bring natural light into the interior and reflect a time when natural lighting was paramount in illuminating large buildings. Recommendations: Where possible, these skylights should be restored. Aspect: The wide corridors and light courts contribute to the openness of the design and allows ample natural light and air circulation. Recommendations: These corridors should remain open and not be partitioned. The light courts should remain open as well and not enclosed. John Herbert Phillips High School Birmingham, Alabama 31
