| Additional Information: | A 'site file' exists for this property. It contains additional information such as correspondence, newspaper clippings, or historical information. It is a public record and may be viewed in person at the State Historical Society, Division of Historic Preservation. The facade of this two story brick building has very flat decoration. "The Commercial Vernacular style of architecture was one of the most common commercial designs in the United States during the mid-eighteen hundreds through the 1940s. As you can see from the facade, limited ornamentation was integrated using brick work and cast concrete around windows. For years the building was home to Wilson Music and has been recently renovated to its original form housing commercial on the main floor and residential units on the second floor."
