Additional Information: | This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed c.1915. It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and a flat roof with a slight parapet. The front elevation faces east and is symmetrical in plan with a central recessed front door flanked by banks of shop windows. Above this is a composition board panel covering was likely a bank of transom windows. The second story contains two large window openings that have been boarded over with composition board siding. Decorative brickwork with inset stone panels is located above the second-story windows. The building is in good condition, but retains a relatively low degree of integrity due to the loss of the first-story transom and the second-story windows. 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. |
