| Additional Information: | Built between 1925 and 1946 according to Sanborn maps. Previously surveyed in 2005. The first level of this two-story building is comprised of a central storefront window flanked by two glass doorways, all of which is covered by a cloth awning. The upper level carries one, 1-over-1, double-hung sash that is flanked by sash openings; all windows on this level are accented with stone lintels and rectangular stone detail at the corners. Patterened brickwork with stone detailing at the corners and a stone-capped cornice complete the building. First known to be associated with early Marshfield auto companies from 1939 until 1949. Later, a clothing store occupied the building (1955-1960). |
