Ultimately the question should be asked, the original "pink building" or the original People's Drugstore or the original Giant grocery store, should they have been deemed historic for "Peerless". I vote to disband Peerless for holding back Rockville. Because of Peerless, Americana Centre Condos uses the historic designation not to install ADA compliant ramps or entryways in the building.

The Pancake Cottage was located at 39 Hungerford Drive, adjacent to the RVFD, now the site of Nail Tech.

If Mr. Sullivan was such a prominent local architect, surely there must exist more worthy structures to save. This example may warrant a footnote in the HDC documents, if that. Perhaps the motive for its preservation is to stall the addition of yet another bank building, probably with drive-thru, in an area inundated with this service.
