| Additional Information: | This one story commercial building is similar to SC 24-34 and 35. It has a flat roof and rear addition. The metal entablature has urns and brackets. A leaf pattern is on the brackets and a floral pattern in between. Brick is the exterior fabric. Corbel brick is below this. There is plate glass and a stepped back entry.

Clothing was sold here in 1892 after the tornado of 1899 destroyed the building, it was rebuilt as a one story brick building with slate roof. It was a saloon. It was still a saloon in 1912. |
