NOTES
Additional Information:This two-story, vermillion colored brick corner building is accented with cream brick panels and capped with a brickwork cornice with a rounded central accent. The storefront has, however, been substantially altered in the early to mid 20th century in a manner incompatible with the building's original architectural character. It remains, however, as a contributive element to the architectural significance of the District, because of the early detailing which remains.

In 2006: No visible exterior changes have been made to the building since last surveyed in 1982.

Previously surveyed in 1982.
