Building Date: c. 1875
Style: LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN MOVEMENTS: Commercial Style
Functional Use/Type COMMERCE: Two-Part Commercial Block

This simple, two-story brick building has three bays. In the eastern portion of the storefront facade is a wood and glass entry door providing access to the second story. The storefront, which has been altered, consists of sets of paired, wood window and transom systems flanking a commercial, metal double-entry door with a wood transom. The east entry door and the window openings appear to be original. The commercial entry doors are not original. The second story of the building contains three arched window openings with stone sills. Each opening has a rectangular, one-over-one light, double-hung sash window and wood panel infill. The building has no cornice, but approximately one-foot from the top of the building a course of brick protrudes slightly.

Despite some replacement windows, sufficient materials and design elements, as well as retention of the original size, scale, massing and fenestration allows the building to contribute minimally to the District.
