NOTES
Additional Information:Built between 1895 and 1900. CORBELLED CORNICE. UNUSUAL SEGMENTAL ARCH LINTELS. LINTEL COURSE BRICK POLYCHROMY TRIM. Resurveyed 2016: Changes include the replacement of the paneled front door with a metal security door. This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed c.1900. It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces north and is asymmetrical in plan with a recessed front door at the east end of the elevation and two 2-pane fixed-sash windows to the west. These first-floor windows are surrounded by T1-11 siding (in place of the original full-size shop windows). The second story contains three, modern 1-over-1 windows with stone sills and segmentally-arched brick crowns. Decoratively brick corbels run the length of the wall just below the roofline. The east elevation of the building contains the ghost of an advertising mural. 2017: no apparent changes since 2016 survey. 2022: Not resurveyed.
