It is of brick masonry construction with a rectangular plan on a stone foundation. The roof is flat and features a large neon sign that reads, “Hammond Bar-Lounge Steak House.” A large brick smokestack is located off the rear (east) elevation. Several alterations have been made to the building to adopt the Contemporary style, likely during the 1960s. The majority of the windows have been infilled and arched vinyl pilasters have been added to the front (west) facade and side (north) elevation. A large, three-pane, fixed window encased in vinyl is positioned on the second-story facade above the front entry. The entry features an offset glass door flanked by several vinyl pilasters and covered by a vinyl awning. The side (north) elevation features two neon blade signs that read, “Bar Lounge” and “Steak House.” A stone paver planter bed with deciduous bushes adorns the building on this side. A later two-story addition is built off the rear (east) elevation and feature beadboard siding and a secondary entrance with vinyl awning. |
