| Additional Information: | This 2-story Commercial Vernacular building was constructed c.1880 to serve as a harness shop. It is rectangular in plan with vinyl and aluminum siding and a front-gabled roof hidden behind a stepped parapet. The front elevation faces east and is asymmetrical in composition with the front entrance located at the northern end of the façade in a cutaway corner that is recessed under the overhanging second story. The entry door is surrounded by composition board siding and is accessed via a concrete stoop. South of this are three large shop windows with a concrete block bulkhead wall below. The second story of the primary façade contains two singly-placed 1-over-1 windows that have been downsized from the originals (cutouts in the surrounding siding indicate the previous size of the window openings). |
