Additional Information: | 2021 This two story Commercial Vernacular retail building was built around 1890, with a one story addition to the west in 1973. The building has a flat roof and is clad in brick. The first story storefront retains its brick piers but has replacement glass block bulkheads and aluminum-framed windows and transoms. A painted metal cornice extends along the top of the storefront. The second story contains three segmental arched windows; the masonry openings have been downsized with wood framing to fit the current replacement vinyl double hung windows. The elevation is capped by a modest corbelled cornice. |
