| Additional Information: | This 1-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed in 1931 . It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and a flat roof with slight parapet. The front elevation faces northwest and is symmetrical in plan with shop windows and a canvas awning spanning the width of the facade around a central recessed doorway. The wall below the shop windows is clad in black tile. A decorative metal awning is located just below the roofline. The interior of the building does not appear to retain any original installations or surface materials. Resurveyed August 2012; changes include the replacement of the canvas awning. |
