NOTES
Additional Information:This large commercial building contains three stores, each with a different (modern) storefront. The second story of the building contains rectangular window openings, irregularly spaced. The upper level is also composed of two colors of brick. These buildings first appear on Sanborn Perris maps in 1904, as a two story corner block and one story building to the west (all constructed of brick). Apparently between 1912 and 1922, a second story was added to create a block of uniformheight. This would account for the variation in brick color. The easternmost portion of this buliding housed a pharmacy bulit around 1900. Between 1912 and 1918 D.E. Frost purchased it and blended it with the other building to the west.
