| Additional Information: | This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed c.1900. It is rectangular in plan with brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces west and is asymmetrical in plan with banks of shop windows and two recessed doorways across the first story. Above this is a band of glass blocks that spans the width of the facade. The second story contains three evenly-spaced window openings with segmental arched crowns. The center opening has been filled with composition board while the outer two openings contain newer 6-over-6 windows. Three "checkerboard" patterned brick boxes are located below the roofline. The interior of the building retains its open floor plan at the first story, with walls clad in pressed metal panels; a new drop ceiling with fluorescent lighting has been added and the flooring appears to be a newer concrete or vinyl overlay. No original furnishings (counter, woodworking, etc.) are visible. |
