Additional Information: | This one story commercial building has a flat roof and rear addition. The entry is stepped back. There rae plate glass windows and a metal awning. There is brick work in a dentil molding pattern and vertical pattern brick. A lot of the original integrity has been lost on this building. It has no architectural significance. In 1887 this was the site of a one story frame building (about to be bricked) with a shingle roof. A barber shop was here. In 1897 the barber was still here and the building was bricked and had a slate roof. In 1899 the tornado destroyed the store. It was rebuilt as a one story brick building with a slate roof. Divided into 2 stores, the north part was a millinery and the south a barber. By 1912 the roof was composite and both the same types of building were here. In 1927 a bakery was in the west part of the building (there was no N and S partition). The development of this site is similar to the rest of the main street areas and has no special historical significance. |
