| Additional Information: | Altered first story. 2023: This 2-story Italianate house was constructed in 1883 with a Twentieth Century Commercial addition constructed c.1935 that served as a grocery store. It is irregular in plan with brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces south and is asymmetrical in composition. The first story of the original Italianate house is obscured by the 1-story storefront addition. The addition features two storefronts with the larger of these located across the western half of the façade; this features a recessed center entrance with flanking shop windows. East of this are two singly-placed doors. A smaller storefront with a shop window is located at the east end of the façade. Bulkhead walls have been reclad in faux half timbering. An asphalt-shingled pent roof spans the façade above the storefront. The wall above this features a center panel of brickwork in a basketweave pattern. The commercial addition is capped by a decorative parapet with stone coping and stone accents at each corner. The visible second story of the earlier Italianate house features three regularly-spaced 1-over-1 windows with segmentally-arched stone crowns that feature carved keystones. The roof of the Italianate building displays widely overhanging eaves with decorative paired brackets. |
