Additional Comments
2025; This two-story Italianate grocery store was constructed circa 1860-80. The commercial row building’s bayed form is oriented on corner lot and has painted brick and a flat roof. The deep metal cornice banding slopes away from the building and is accentuated with eave brackets and rosette motifs. The cornice line is pedimented above the storefront entrance at the corner façade. A line of brick corbeling runs underneath. Windows are primarily single double-hung replacement sashes with flattened arch lintels and infill. The storefront appears to retain its original orientation and detailing.
