| Additional Information: | November 2001-This one-story, brick building was erected for K.H. Gehrung in 1925 (datestone). It displays the Modern Broadfront form, a twentieth century variant of Commercial vernacular design, and is set on a poured concrete foundation. The entrance is recessed in a segmental-arched opening. The lintel over the opening is composed of two courses of brick soldiers, accented with white stone. The raised letter "G" appears over the keystone. North of the entrance, several courses of projecting brick rowlocks frame what was originally a display window. This opening has been reduced with vertical boards and fitted with two multipane, fixed windows. A crenellated parapet, capped with a stone coping, hides the flat roof. |
