| Additional Information: | Pilaster placement divides the facade of this building into three sections, each of which contains twopairs of windows capped by flat arches with carved keystones. The keystones and other details are executed in sandstone which harmonizes with the warm tones of the brick. A sandstone entablature extends across the facade and is ornamented with modillions. Beneath this, at each pilaster is a simple cartouche. The storefront has been entirely remodeled. This commercial block was bult shorty after the turn of the century. The only notable point is that the eastern-most bay served as City Hall from approximately 1905-1917. |
