| Additional Information: | This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed in 1911. It is rectangular in plan with buff-colored brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces east and is asymmetrical in composition. The building is divided into two distinct halves that are divided by a narrow brick pilaster that features a stone panel reading “1911.” The northern storefront contains a wall of metal-framed shop windows with a recessed entry at its southern end. The southern storefront has been boarded over with composition wood paneling. Wide bands of metal paneling span the wall above each storefront; previously, these held signage, but may be obscuring original transom windows. The second story of each half of the façade contains two singly-placed, single-pane picture windows with stone sills and lintels. Brick cornices comprised of elongated dentils span the roofline of each half of the façade. |
