Additional Comments

Three-story, cream brick commercial block has flat-arch windows. Third story added 1898-1904. Three-story, cream brick commercial block has flat-arch windows. The medium-sized windows have been enclosed and the storefront altered. This building was part of a four-building complex for the Dodge and Manville Carriage Works. It was rebuilt and the other three buildings given a similar facade around 1900. It was part of the carriage factory until the early twentieth century, then used as a novelty factory and finally, an office building. It is a contributing resource in the National Register-listed Watson Street Commercial Historic District as one of the examples of the commercial vernacular style in the district and because it was part of a complex of carriage factory buildings that was a historically significant small industry in nineteenth century Ripon.
