Property Features
In 1901, this building was used as a saloon owned by John MacDonald and was one of over twelve saloons in this immediate area of West 2nd Street.
Description: Located at the corner with Third Avenue West, this two-story painted brock and brownstone building harmonizes well with the two adjacent brick and brownstone two-story structures, especially along the second story. Above the altered first story storefront, this building consists of a brick facade with four tall rectangular windows, each with a brownstone sill and lintel. Quoins are small and sparsely set along the corner and wall edge. A thin brick course separates the uppermost frieze and corbel table from the rest of the facade. Above the uppermost cornice, a central nameplate, now blank, caps the building. This commercial building is very similar to its earlier neighbor at 218 West Second Street. The Third Avenue West facade, simpler and without the modern alteration, is an essential visual element that unites the Grand Opera House with the buildings on West Second Street.
