Property Features
2018: Constructed in 1895, this rectangular two-story commercial vernacular building is clad in brick. It features a flat roof with a
brick parapet with an altered decorative cornice. The roofline also features two pediments that intersect the roofline,
peaks of which have since been removed, and the name and date plaques originally in the pediments has been plastered
over. The first story features two square, fixed windows that flanked a recessed double entrance door.
The south side of the front (east) facade features an addition glass door in a recessed opening framed by a brick
entryway. The columns are mirrored on the right side of the facade, where they frame a one-over-one, double-hung,
replacement window. The fenestration on the second story is generally one-over-one, double-hung windows with both
arched and square lintels.
Built by J.H. Foster & Son and designed by F.A. Weston, the C.C. Kelleher Building housed a hardware store when it
opened in 1895. The basement had a tin shop and dealt with other heavy hardware, while the first floor
contained a hardware store and a crockery and glass department. The second story held some goods from the
department store and six offices. In the 1930s the State Bank moved operations from their previous building (AHI No.
19161) to the subject building, until the building was sold to Wells Fargo, who operated it until June 2018.
