| Additional Information: | Built between 1900 and 1914. ALTERED FIRST FLOOR. MITERED ARCH FALSE FRONT. Resurveyed 2016: No visible changes. This 1-story Twentieth Century Commercial building is comprised of what were originally two separate building masses (with separate addresses); these have since been joined by a common façade and common tax parcel. The one- and two-story building masses were constructed c.1910. The front elevation of the block faces north and is asymmetrical in plan due to uneven fenestration. A one-story brick-veneered and composition-board façade spans the width of both buildings. This is punctuated with modern single-pane, fixed-sash windows and doorways, all of which are sheltered by rounded canvas awnings. The second story of the western mass appears to be comprised of concrete block; four segmentally-arched window openings have been closed with wood or metal paneling. This building mass is capped by a decorative metal cornice. The roofline of the one-story building is distinguished by decorative Art Deco-inspired brickwork running the length of the façade with a small peak in the center. 2017: no visible changes since 2016. The two-story building to the west, which is included in the address range, was not photographed in 2016, so a new photo was taken and submitted. 2022: Not resurveyed. |
