| Additional Information: | This stone fronted building is of local grey limestone set as uncoursed ashlar. Only the upper story of the street facade is now visible, however, as the storefront has been completely remodeled. A corner tower is implied and here the windows are topped with semicircular arches. The tower was once topped with a battlement which has since been removed. This is the only example in the city where this limestone hsa been set other than as coursed ashlar and where both light and dark grey stone are mixed. It is likely that this building used stone of lesser (or later) quality than other buildings such as 215 N. Third. Despite the major modifications, this building is of some architectural interest because of its stonework.rk. |
