| Additional Information: | This was Frank's Bakery in 1938. This unusual one-story brick commercial building does not pertain to a specific architectural style. It has a gable roof with ridge parrallel to the street, and Flemish style parapets following the roofline. The facade, one story at the street, is dominated by a semi-circular arch rising from the sidewalk to just below the eave. A door with decorative trim is the only other facade element. Although the arch opening is boarded over, the facade is in nearly original condition. Unusual design for small store in nearly original condition. |
