This report is to document the observed condition of properties located at Third and Soscol and 1219 1st Street (Goodwin Library) in historic downtown Napa, California. It is our understanding that FEMA has previously provided funding to both properties that was to be used for general building upgrades. The specific upgrades are not explicitly known to the authors of this report and no existing drawings have been reviewed. Note that only exterior observations were made. Both properties were cordoned by a fencing perimeter allowing for minimal interior observation. Further investigation into the interior of both properties is recommended to supplement this report.
