The upper level entry door is located at the left side of the National Avenue facade and consists of rails and stiles with tongue-and-groove panes laid in opposing diagonal patterns. The first story brick piers are painted, and the first story is capped by a painted metal cornice. The second story contains three tall double hung windows, capped with decorative panels and a name plate reading G. W. NIERADE/1886. The name plate is capped by a decorative pediment with decorative stickwork half-timbering and scalloped shingle cladding. The pediment breaks through the main cornice of the building. A painted metal, convex-curved square turret roof with diminutive pediment is located at the left corner of the front facade. A smaller, painted metal bellcast finial is located on the northwest corner of the main facade. |
