| Additional Information: | Originally constructed of frame and clapboard clad, the brick storefront and falsefront were added some time later. Now clad with pressed metal panels and roofed with standing seam sheet iron, this simple, vernacular type commercial building appears to have been substantially unchanged since the early decades of the 20th century. As such, it is of architectural interest as an example of a once locally common style nad building. The storefront has been altered with fixed awning added to the storefront (2000). |
