| Additional Information: | This two story brick building originally continued the rhythm of second story arched openings prevalent on Water Street. However, the two central windows hav ebeen replaced with a large rectangular expanse of glass. The remaining two windows remain unchanged. A corbelled band at the cornice is the other vestige of the design. The first story has been substantially remodelled with aluminum windows and ceramic tile forming the new storefront. This building appears to have been built around 1890. It was the home of the Alexander Ringness Shoe store for many years after that. THIS BUILDING WAS DEMOLISHED SOMETIME BETWEEN 1982 AND 2011. |
