Additional Comments
Creme brick facade articulated by plain projecting cornice with parapet with small pediment ornamented by classical designs and with medallions of classical design along the parapet; vertical brick piers decorated with classical designed tiles define the central entrance bay; tiles of classical designs are placed under the cornice and between the windows; modern store front.

Not a good example of early 20th century architecture influenced by Neo-classicism, this building makes an important contribution to the architectural history and visual environment of the Caledonia Street commercial area.

Designer: O. J. Oyen.
