NOTES
Additional Information:2005- "This two-story commercial vernacular building has details that suggest the Twentieth Century Commercial style. The building is
constructed of multi-hued brown brick and has a flat roof decorated with stone coping. A thin stone belt course defines a simple
cornice that is accented with stone tabs. Second story windows are simple single-light sashes sitting in the walls individually, paired,
or tripartite. The first story has a comer storefront and there are two storefronts on both the Capitol Drive and Murray Avenue sides.
The corner storefront has large metal and glass show windows on a concrete bulkhead. There is an additional small storefront along
Capitol Drive with a single show window. It has the same decoration as the main block. The Murray Avenue elevation has one
storefront and a central entrance of double metal and glass doors."
