Additional Information: | This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed c.1900. It is rectangular in plan (aside from the angled front wall) with brick walls and a flat roof with a slight parapet along the facade. The front elevation faces east and is asymmetrical in plan with a main recessed doorway flanked by large shop windows. A secondary doorway with a transom window is located at the northern end of the facade. The second story contains three 1-over-1 windows separated by brick pilasters. Above these windows is a stone belt course with brick corbelling below. The building is in good condition and retains a moderate degree of integrity (the brick wall below the shop windows is a recent replacement, the original transom above the primary entrance has been lost, and the second-story windows appear to be recent replacements. Because of its diminished integrity, the building is not a particularly fine representative of Commercial Vernacular architecture. This building has not been previously surveyed. A new AHI record was created. |
