NOTES
Additional Information:ORIGINAL STOREFRONT HAS BEEN MODERNIZED AND THE SIDE WINDOW OPENINGS HAVE NOW BEEN FILLED WITH BRICKS. SANBORN MAPS SUGGEST THAT THIS BUILDING WAS BUILT 1914 AND 1931 BUT IT IS NOT CERTAIN THAT THIS IS THE SAME BUILDING THAT IS SHOWN ON THE MAPS.

2019 - Constructed on a concrete slab foundation, this building is on the west side of Division Street, faces east and appears to have been constructed in two parts, both of which are sheathed with similar, running bond brick. The north component is characterized by an entryway to the left (south), to the right (north) of which was, historically, a large picture window. Today, that has been infilled and now has only two, small casement windows. Vertically-placed brick stretchers do comprise a head for both the former window and the adjacent doorway. To the left (south) of the doorway is the south half of the building which has a long, glass-block window with a sill of vertically placed brick headers. The north and south sidewalls have a two-step parapet. The west wall, or the back of the building, is defined by two, dissimilar types of brick, a door and three, irregularly placed windows.
