NOTES
Additional Information:This one story building was originally a frame building that was later given a veneer of brick. The storefront is an alteration done in the modern manner with carrera glass and a rounded apron. The large show windows also date from that era. Above the storefront is a large panel with a flat sign.

This building is a small and interesting example of a Modern storefront.
