NOTES
Additional Information:This two story Commercial Vernacular building is constructed of brick. It was once architecturally united to its neighbor, 63 N. Main, but that building has been remodeled. This building has a simple pressed metal cornice, a row of brick corbelling, and shallow pilasters at the center and south end of hte building. The upper floor windows are single light double hung sashes decorated with jack arches and stone sills. The first floor storefronts have been remodeled and almost completed enclosed with vertical wood siding. They have small show windows and recessed entrances.

This building is an interesting example of the Commercial Vernacular style.

This building has housed numerous businesses over the years, including a music store, cleaners, plumbing shop, shoe store, and soda fountain.

This building has some historical interest as a long time commercial building.
