| Additional Information: | 2003: the facade that runs along Roosevelt Drive consists of at least four storefronts -- all of which have been altered with modern plate glass. A pair of original entrances remain intact; however, the upper portion is "cut" by a circa 1940s-50s metal overhang that tops the storefronts. The second floor consists of sash windows that are arranged singly, paired and in tripartite groupings. Decorative brickwork runs along the cornice level, which also features a stone inset with reads "1929" and "Vigansky Block." |
