Gabled one-bay enclosed entrance. 2017 UPDATE - THIS BUILDING LOOKS SUBSTANTIALLY LIKE IT DID WHEN LAST SURVEYED IN 1996. 2025; The two-story vernacular-style commercial retail building was constructed circa 1890. The building is at the chamfered corner of the P. Schingten Building (AHI No. 32100, 225-227 3rd Street N). It has monochrome red brick, parallel coursings of brick trim, a line of cornice molding, and a flat roof. The recessed entry at the main level occupies the majority of the principal façade. The original storefront is mostly infilled and enclosed with vertical paneling, glass block, and stone veneer with a row of fixed ribbon windows. The header of the stone door surround is accented in a series of projecting metal rosettes. An open balcony at the southeast façade is a later addition and is accessed by a pair of glass doors with a fixed transom. Two slightly projecting bays at the north façade are crowned with round-arched pediments at the roofline containing sunburst motifs. Windows are primarily rectangular replacement one-over-one metal sashes with flat arch lintels; the small round arch windows present at the north side’s lower level are infilled. |
