| Additional Information: | This 1-story Art Moderne retail building was constructed in 1911 . It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces southeast and is symmetrical in plan with a central recessed doorway with modern shop windows on each side. Dark colored bricks in linear patterns are located above the shop windows and below the roofline on each side. A flat signboard is located in the center of the facade above the door. The interior of the building has been recently renovated for use as a photography studio and does not appear to retain any original installations or surface materials. Resurveyed August 2012; changes include the removal of T1-11 siding and smaller windows from the façade and the addition of a signboard to the front wall. |
