NOTES
Additional Information:Italianate vernacular style with brick exterior, stilted segmented window arches, and corbel trim.

The M. Hanson Block is a two story brick building with simple Italianate influenced details. The building has a simple brick corbeled cornice and brick label moldings over second story windows. The windows are filled with single-light sashes and partially enclosed with wood panels and awnings. The building features a modern, but period-like, storefront with a large awning.

This building contributes to the Main Street Historic District for architecture because of its simple Italianate influenced commercial vernacular style. It also adds to the historical significance of the district because of its long-time use as a commercial building.
