Since all of the existing buildings within the limits of the AAR Zone vary considerably in age and architecture in their present state, it is understandable that it is difficult to impose on them a rigid architectural design standard. Although beauty and character are subjective, there shall be an underlying design theme to the buildings and specifically to the facades so that a sense of conformity to a time period is achieved. Variation, creativity, uniqueness and distinction are not discouraged provided that there is a visual flow from building to building with no evidence of abrupt change or disruption in design or theme. Each building, although having its own identity should complement the others in style and taste without the look of an exact copy.

The architectural motif that is to be followed throughout the AAR Zone shall be based on the design of the "Old Clara Barton School Building" which is located on the southerly side of Amboy Avenue between Fourth Street and Brower Avenue. The architectural design can be characterized as "turn of the century." Understandably, exact historic replication is not expected, however this building is considered the focal point of the AAR Zone and all future building façade designs shall have its architectural flavor and sense.
