Moravian College • Preservation Master Plan Condition Summary Payne Gallery is a Classical Revival brick gymnasium building with a front-gabled slate roof, wood windows and wood exterior moldings and details. It sits on a slope with the basement exposed at the southwest corner, and adjoins Foy Hall on the southeast. The basement is within the stone foundation. The brick walls of the main level feature a projecting water table, evenly spaced flat brick pilasters, and brick corner quoins. The double-hung windows are set within the recesses between pilasters. All windows and doors have flat lintels with contrasting center sandstone keystones. The building has deep molded cornices featuring dentil molding and gable returns. main entrance, window openings with three contrasting dark keystones, and a round-arched front door surround. A terrace at the south end of the basement has a smaller secondary entrance. Additions Payne Gallery has no historic additions. It once had a gabled one-story frame hyphen connecting it to South Hall, but this was removed to make way for Foy Hall in 1982. A shadow of this hyphen is visible on the east wall. The original entrance façade faces north and is more ornate than the other elevations. It features Classical ornamentation, including a semicircular pediment and carved stone frieze over the original Figure 8-102. Payne Gallery, east side, shadow of frame hyphen (JMA 2008). Doors and Fenestration Figure 8-100. Payne Gallery, 2008 view to east (JMA 2008). The entrance doors, which are no longer used, are four-light, three-panel doors and are set flush with the exterior paving. These doors appear to be modern versions of historic doors. They appear to not fit correctly, resulting in some gaps. The door on the south terrace is similar in style to the front doors. Figure 8-101. Payne Gallery, north façade, view to south (JMA 2008).

Moravian College • Preservation Master Plan Windows in the building are original wood dividedlight sash. Most are horizontal eight-light sash, and those on the first floor level appear to have side pivots. The interiors of the windows were covered with black film, which is peeling off in many places. Paint on the wood elements is peeling. Roofi ng and Drainage The historic slate roof drains to half-round gutters on the east and west sides, and downspouts at the southeast and southwest corners drain to an underground system. Some rot is evident in the southeast and southwest cornices adjacent to the downspouts, indicating possible leaks at the juncture of the gutters and downspouts. Pieces of slate tile from the roof were observed near the foundation, indicating deterioration and breakage of some of the tiles. Figure 8-105. Payne Gallery, south façade, step crack between upper and lower windows (JMA 2008). Figure 8-106. Payne Gallery, northwest corner, brick deterioration at base of wall (JMA 2008). Figure 8-104. Payne Gallery, southeast corner, paint failure and rot in cornice (JMA 2008). Masonry The foundation of the Payne Gallery is random ashlar limestone blocks with two pointing styles visible: pale brown earlier mortar, and a later hard gray mortar with raised ribbon joints. The walls are faced with machine-molded brick. Window surrounds are ornamented with sandstone keystones and newer cast-stone sills. A large gabled area of infill brick is located at the north end of the east wall, mirroring a similar area on South Hall’s west wall. This indicates the former location of a one-story frame passageway between South Hall and Payne Gallery. The south façade has a few large cracks above window bays, and there is some mortar loss on the quoin edges. The brickwork has some hazy areas, and there is efflorescence and some mortar loss evident at the base of the walls at the northwest corner. Figure 8-107. Payne Gallery, north wall, damp areaway with biogrowth (JMA 2008) A concrete-lined areaway at the west side of the north façade is damp and has biogrowth due to poor drainage.
