NOTES
Additional Information:Was a livery stable and undertaker in 1887. This substantial two story brick commercial structure is representative of the Italianate commercial style. The upper story is in original condition, featuring a three part composition with two plain segments (one with one window, one with three) separated by a highly detailed center section capped by a pedimented cornice. The two flanking sections have simple cornices; and each end of the building features a pilaster. The windows are double-hung with decorative hood molds. The storefront level has been substantially altered.
