Building Date: 1897
Style: LATE 19 AND 20 CENTURY REVIVALS: Jacobethan Revival
Functional Use/Type COMMERCE: Two-Part Commercial Block

This two-story, brick commercial building has a four-bay storefront and a two-bay second story. The upper story features Jacobethan Revival style details steeply pitched parapet front gables; polychrome coat of arms ornamentation in the gables flanked by vertical pilasters; cast stone trim; and tall, narrow, paired windows. On the first story, plate glass display windows flank the recessed storefront entry; a second entry to one side accesses the second story. A panel covers the transom window area. The aluminum awning is a modern addition to the storefront. Paired windows in the symmetrical second story of the elevation are one-over-one light, double-hung sashes with stone sills and lintels. Suspended brick pilasters pierce a stone cornice and terminate just below the roofline with small stone pediments. Centered above each paired window opening are two gable dormers that project above the roofline. A stone cornice with a dentil course defines the roofline.

This building retains a high degree of integrity.
