Building Date(s): 1899, c.1940

This building has a historic central building and has concrete block additions that are irregularly interconnected. The primary building, erected c.1899 (Section A), is a symmetrical, two-and-one-half story, five-bay brick building with a gabled roof and a stepped parapet that faces west. Brick pilasters that rise up to the parapet define the bays. The parapet features corbeled brickwork. The window openings, covered with plywood, have cast iron sills and segmental arched brick lintels. The long secondary facades span twelve bays with the same symmetrical, fenestration and window treatment as the front facade. A c.1940 one-story concrete block expansion (Section B) to the south elevation has five bays and a flat roof with a stepped parapet. Two later one-story metal clad additions with gable additions (Section D) attach to the east facades. To the north abutting Section A and located outside the District is a modern concrete block building (Section C).

The original setting of the complex has been altered through the demolition of other historic industrial buildings to the north and to the east. However, the setback and spatial relationship to Three Mile Creek and Third Street remains. The building has a high degree of historic integrity, retaining its location, materials, size, scale, massing, fenestration, and character-defining elements. It is a contributing element to the District.
