NOTES
Additional Information:This two story commercial vernacular styled meeting hall features a brick exterior and a flat roof. The first floor was altered, but a heavy cornice with moulding and dentil trim remains, as does a wrap around corner. The building is in excellent condition and historically served as a Gospel Hall [A] and as a Post Office [B]. It now serves as a restaurant.
