| Additional Information: | 2012- "This building is one story in height and shares a party wall with its almost identical neighbor on the north side. It is constructed of cream bricks and has an intact classically-influenced cornice. The storefront is remodeled and paneling covers both the transom and bulkhead. The show windows are modern, as is the entry door. Initial research in the tax assessment rolls could not determine an exact date of construction, but historic photos indicate that it was built after a 1912 fire that burned several buildings at this location and further north along the street. It was used in the twentieth century as a general commercial building." -"Request for SHPO Comment and Consultation on a Federal Undertaking", Prepared by Carol Lohry Cartwright, Historic Resources Consultant, (2012). |
