| Additional Information: | The F in the photo codes is for Fox Canal Survey. This structure contributes to the significance of the Broadway-Huron Street Historic District under criterion C as one component of a fiev building row of similarly designed strcutures with a unified cornice line and nearly identical window treatments. This building, the end unit in the grouping, is distinguished from the others by its ornate cornice, otherwise it repeats the same corbel table at the eaves and projecting segmentally-arched window hoods as its neighbors. The design inspiration appears to be transitional Victorian Gothic/Italianate. |
