Additional Comments
The entry door on the main (southwest) facade is a modern replacement. Fenestraton on the side elevations consists of segmental arch window openings and concrete sills with one-over-one, double-hung vinyl sash.

2012- "Built in 1909, the G. D. Roberts Building is a two-story, commercial vernacular building. The walls are clad in brick, laid in a running bond, and the low pitch of the roof is obscured by a parapet. A large plate-glass window spans the majority of the front (southwest) facade. The main entrance is located south of the window; the opening contains a modern replacement door. An adjacent second doorway with a segmental brick arch header has been converted to a window opening. Three regularly-spaced second-story window openings have been covered with plywood and have flat concrete sills and headers. Fenestration on the northwest and southeast (side) elevations consists of segmental arch window openings with concrete sills and one-over-one double-hung vinyl sash. A large two-story concrete block addition at north corner has a garage door."
