The facades of the Hull Block have been identified as historically and architecturally significant. Since the facades are designed in a particular style, it is desirable to design an addition or alterations that will complement the building’s overall design and does not overtly compete with the original structure by means of its own design features.

It is important that the owner and the architect consult the City of Edmonton Heritage Officer at the preliminary stage and throughout the design process.

Typical features being projecting pressed metal cornice with dentils, decorated parapet with front and side arched pediment with large ornamental balls at corners and name stones "Hull Block", storefront cornice, keystones over windows, recessed panels, and brick corbelling.
b.	Proportions of the facades - the building exhibits a 3 unit width with 3 storeys. Any alterations or additions should abide by this pattern.
c.	Building materials - while new material does not necessarily have to be the same material, any new material should be compatible with the existing brick, buff window headers and keystones, grey/white brick on rear façade.
d.	Colour - the colours of any addition and/or alterations should be complementary to the colours originally on the Hull Block.
e.	Design elements - the notable features to be carried across would be the strong horizontal elements such as the projecting cornice, the storefront cornice and windows.
f.	Any development shall maintain, to the satisfaction of the Development Officer and Heritage Officer, the external appearance of the regulated portions of the building defined in Designation Bylaw 12623 as existing at the time of adoption of this Bylaw.
g.	The design and appearance of any additions and/or alterations shall complement the original 1914 historical building in scale, materials, proportions, details and design elements.
