Additional Information: | 2020 This two-story, brick, commercial vernacular building was constructed c.1890. It has a slender rectangular footprint, parged stone foundation, and flat parapet roof. The north-facing façade includes some neoclassical style detailing including rounded arch windows on the first story, segmental arch windows on the second story, and arcade-like brickwork at the cornice level. The original entryway at the east end of the façade has been partially enclosed and converted into a window. The current entrance is recessed on the west side elevation, behind the westernmost storefront windows. Windows on the second story are modern replacements. |
