Building Date: 1906
Style: LATE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURY REVIVALS: Classical Revival
Functional Use/Type COMMERCE: Two-Part Commercial Block
This two-story, red brick building has classical ornamentation. The second story is symmetrical and has two bays created by an arcade with double openings that contain classical columns. A projecting cornice, which shelters the arcade openings, has decorated wood brackets that support a decorative frieze. The parapet forms a large, low-sloped, triangular pediment capped with stone. Storefront alterations include new display windows, bulkheads, and a modern metal awning. Wood shingle panels cover the original transoms. It is unclear whether the storefront configuration and the entrance to the second story replicate that of the original.
This building retains its original configuration and architectural elements on its second-story elevation. The high level of the extant ornamentation contributes to the integrity of the building. Despite some storefront alterations, this building retains sufficient integrity and is a contributing element to the District.
