ROUND ARCHED WINDOWS, CORBELLING [Date Cnst:CA]

August 2013: New storefront, new second-story windows

August 2019: Appearance unchanged.

"This building, the Jenson Block, also has round headed windows with compound brick arches. The use of round-headed arches came earlier in the Italianate style than the use of segmental arches. This building was constructed between 1871 and 1882." Rebecca Sample Bernstein for the City of Stoughton Landmarks Commission and Downtown Revitalization Association, Historic Main Street: An Architectural & Historical Guide to Downtown Stoughton, 1991.
