| Additional Information: | Surveyed 2020: The year of construction for this edifice is uncertain. A date in the cornice identifies it as 1904 while the Walking tour of Historic Downtown suggests a date of 1913. If not constructed in one of those two particular years, the structure was definitively erected in the years between since a Sanborn map of 1904 does not include the building while that of 1913 does. It is a commercial vernacular fabrication that was substantially rehabilitated in 2004, the second floor at the time (and that to the east, i.e., 107 W. North Water Street) having been completely covered by modern sheathing while a fixed, shake-covered awning extended the width of the two building. The brick building today has a contemporary-looking storefront comprised of four, floor-to-ceiling glass panels to the right (east) that angle from the southeast corner into the recessed doorway and its glass transom about three-quarters of the way across the building. From the doorway’s west side does a panel of glass extend to the south southwest and the front of the building, from which a single glass panel parallels the sidewalk to the structure’s west wall. A fixed awning sheathed with shingles shelters the storefront and its entrance, which then angles up to a point on the wall immediately below the concrete sill that accommodates the two, second floor windows sets immediately above. Each set consists of a large picture window with a leaded glass transom, immediately next to which is a three-over-one-double-hung sash crowned by a similar transom. A new cornice with ornamentation is situated between the window tops and the concrete coping that crowns the structure. |
