Additional Comments

The first floor of this two-story brick load-bearing building has been drastically altered, bu the second floor retains its lovely tall round-arched windows with indented bricks suggesting dentils; decorative rectangular panels of molded bricks and Victorian cornice; on the north side, some windows have been blocked with matching brick, but otherwise it is original with round-topped windows. 45 degree corner draws attention to this well-crafted landmark structure.

2019 - Resurveyed - appearance altered: replacement windows on north and west elevations.
