Additional Comments

THIS STRUCTURE IS TYPICAL OF A ONE-STORY, BRICK VEHICLE-ORIENTED COMMERCIAL BUILDING. 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 BRICKWORK IS QUITE SIMPLE, WITH ONLY A RAISED PARAPET OVER THE DOOR AND FOUR BRACKETS SPACED ACROSS THE PARAPET FOR DECORATION. THE SOUTH STOREFRONT WINDOW AREA HAS BEEN REDUCED, AND MOST OF THE DISPLAY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN BOARDED OVER.

Locally designated district: 11/12/85.
