NOTES
Additional Information:This simple two story building is constructed of bricks painted white. It has a simple metal cornice and a frieze of brick corbelling that suggests brackets. The original tall,narrow, round arched windows that sat under a large brick segmental arch have been enclosed, although their outline is still visible. The first floor storefront includes a large panel over the transom, large modern show windows and a modern brick apron.

This building has some architectural interest as a simple example of the Commercial Vernacular style.
