| Additional Information: | The F in the photo codes is for Fox Canal Survey. This structure contributes to the significance of the Broadway-Huron Street Historic District under criterion C as a modest example of a late Victorian commercial building betraying the influence of the Romanesque Revival style in its rock-faced ashlar facade and bold arched central window on the second story. The replacement of the second story window sash has somewhat compromised the original design. |
