THE FACADE FEATURES A LARGE, CENTERED OVER-HEAD DOOR, WITH A STOREFRONT DOOR AND DISPLAY WINDOW TO EITHER SIDE, IN THIS CASE STEPPING DOWN THE FACADE TO MATCH THE SIDEWALK GRADE.

THE SOUTH STOREFRONT WINDOW AREA HAS BEEN REDUCED, AND MOST OF THE DISPLAY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN BOARDED OVER. Locally designated district: 11/12/85. |
