| Additional Information: | Despite strong similarities to the 1881 Hunter Block next door (AHI# 246463), this block was built 11 years later and historic photos show that while similar, its three original second story windows were not as tall as the ones on the Hunter block and were somewhat wider and had more truly semi-circular-arched heads. These windows have now been filled with brick. |
