| Additional Comments | This two story commercial building has a facade composed of cut stone. The storefront level of the facade has been painted black, the upper level beige. The transom area has been covered with wood, however a metal beam and patera are partially visible. The second story consists of two pair of windows which are set beneath semicircular arches. The tympana and spandrel areas feature square blocks of stone which are distinguished from the remaining rectangular blocks on the facade. The pressed metal cornice which completes the composition follows a classical theme with swags decorating the frieze which rests beneath a band of dentils. This commercial structure dates from around 1900. It has had many uses over the years, none significant of the history of the community. |
