| Additional Information: | This two story commercial building displays nice brick detailing on the second story, however, the brick has been painted white, lessening the impact of the design. Three segmentally arched windows appear on the second story and are capped by stilted segmental arches. A band of brick "panels" runs above the windows, above this is a corbelled cornice. The windows have been retained, but painted over. The storefront has been remodeled. Despite these alterations, the building retains interesting elements which are characteristic of Italianate commercial designs in Stevens Point. |
