Moravian College • Preservation Master Plan Figure 8-188. Comenius Hall, east wall, stone delamination (JMA 2009). Figure 8-191. Comenius Hall, detail of terra cotta tilework (JMA 2009). Figure 8-189. Comenius Hall, Borhek Chapel east wall, staining (JMA 2009). Figure 8-192. Comenius Hall, replaced stone and poor repointing (JMA 2009). was added directly onto the south end of Comenius in 1907. Three-story stair towers were created in the junctions between these spaces during the 1960s renovations. Doors and Fenestration Figure 8-190. Comenius Hall, Borhek Chapel, paint failure on window (JMA 2009). and Gothic buttresses. The front-gabled Harvey Memorial Library follows much of the same style as Comenius, but has a Richardsonian Romanesque influence with large arched windows on its first floor and a heavy rusticated portico over its entrance. Additions Borhek Chapel was appended to the north end of Comenius in 1893, and a connecting one-story hallway was built between the two. Harvey Library Comenius Hall has elaborate oak entrance doors and surrounds at the three entrances on the east side. The center door, set within a large front portico, has a spectacular round-arched glazed and paneled surround with Gothic tracery on the door lights. The Borhek Chapel entrance has a sweeping copper hood and paired paneled oak doors with single upper lights. A concrete wheelchair ramp with modern iron balustrades and a modern concrete doorstep provide access to this entrance. Harvey Library’s east entrance, set within a stone portico, is similar to that on the Chapel, but has brownstone steps. Entrances at the rear of the building are modern, consisting of two pairs of blue-painted steel fire doors installed during the 1960s. These connect to the hyphens between the original Comenius Hall John Milner Associates • October 2009 • Chapter 8 • Historic Buildings • 234
Moravian College • Preservation Master Plan and its later wings, and correspond to the fireproof stair towers installed in each of these locations in 1968. A modern bulkhead door to the basement is located on the west wall near the north end of the original Comenius Hall. Figure 8-193. Comenius Hall, main front entrance (JMA 2008). The overall historic fenestration of the building is relatively intact. Some windows at the basement level have been infilled over the years. Comenius Hall has a system of round-arched windows that become progressively smaller and more tightly clustered at each level going upward. Most are one-over-one double-hung wood windows, but more elaborate types are found on the first floor. Harvey Library’s fenestration is similar, but modern casements were installed in the first floor windows. Borhek Chapel has a single tall stainedglass window on each side, including rose windows on the east and north sides, and a lancet-patterned windows on the west side. These have some protective outer glazing, but paint deterioration on the exterior frames is evident. Severe rot is present in the lancet window woodwork on the west side. It is apparent that a phased program for replacing historic windows in Comenius Hall has already Figure 8-194. Comenius Hall, modern west entrance (JMA 2009). Figure 8-195.
