| Additional Information: | 2020 - A two-story, Twentieth Century Commercial building, this structure is situated on the north side of Lincoln Avenue and faces south. Its primary asset is its south façade which is constructed of generally red brick laid in a common bond with one course of headers for every five courses of stretchers. Two storefronts are located on the first floor. That to the left has a recessed doorway to the far left (west) and two, display window panels to the right. Then there is a large, brick post, to the right (east) of which is a single, display window, a recessed entrance and two more display windows. The entrances and windows are sheltered by a framed awing, above which, on the second floor, are two groupings of three, 1-over-1-light, double hung sashes separated by a brick panel, to either side of which is a single, 1-over-1-light sash. The second floor windows have concrete sills while a concrete band extends the building’s width immediately above the windows. The most prominent features of the structure are the modest, tower-like embellishments, framed in concrete and infilled with herring-bone brick, that rise from the horizontal band in the southwest and southeast corners of the building. Between the two, small embellishments is more common bond brick above which is a pent-roof-like feature consisting of three courses of metal roofing that crowns the building. The west and east sidewalls have a two-step parapet, behind which, to the east, the building drops to one floor. Windows on the two sidewalls are placed with some sense of regularity. |
