Additional Comments
The east one third of a 19th century, one story brick commercial block, this small store retains the entrance framing cast iron columns and street level cornice of the original structure. A terra cotta cornice (extending across three identical store fronts) that include bands of stylized leaf design, a classical bead and tongue design, and circular medallion design decorates the top of the building.
