Additional Information: | Initial research indicates that none of the occupants of this building are individually historically significant. And, due to the extensive remodeling of the building, it does not contribute historically to the Main Street Commercial Historic District. This cream brick veneered small three-bay commercial building has been altered by the addition of horizontal siding to the exterior brick surfaces, by the removal of the arched window heads and the addition of a contemporary storefront. The William Crenz building has suffered extensive alteration of its architectural character and as a result does not meet the criteria of the National Register. Also, the Crenz Building does not contribute to the historica character of the Main Street Historic District. |
