Building Date: c. 1910
Style: LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN MOVEMENTS: Commercial Style
Functional Use/Type COMMERCE: Two-Part Commercial Block

This two-story, three-bay brick building has little ornamentation. The building has a slightly shaped parapet capped with stone. A bracketed stone stringcourse with geometric medallions at each end spans the width of the three windows on the upper story. Each of these windows has a surround created by a single course of protruding brick. A single cast-stone sill spans the width of the three windows. The windows are double-hung sashes with one-over-one lights. The storefront and the entry door to the second story are modern alterations. A large, shake shingle shed awning spans the width of the storefront.

The building's size, scale, massing, setting and location, as well as its materials and design are sufficient to make the building a contributing property to the District. With the exception of the loss of the original window sashes and frames and the storefront elements, all other changes are reversible.
