Additional Information: | The main facade is dominated by a two-story porch that appears to be a c.1900 addition. Although the building is an example of a boomtown front, one of the earliest forms of commerical vernacular architecture, the building has been significantly altered over time resulting in a lack of integrity. THIS BUILDING APPEARS ON THE 1891 SANBORN MAP. A SMALL MASONRY ADDITION WAS ADDED TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING IN 1965. |
