NOTES
Additional Information:Connected to 206-208 S. Barstow Street, 1P/16, this two story brick commercial structure features a metal entablature and eight rectangular window openings emphasized by stone lintels and sills. On the lower level two storefronts and a center entrance to the second story are visible. The storefronts are somewhat intact, retaining the characteristic recessed entrances and general outlines of the display and transom areas.

In 1914 the building contained a saloon operated by John J. Shaw and the Eau Claire Book Bindery (B).
