(1866; altered c. 1926) Contributing
An example of the Moderne influence on a simple two-part commercial block building - the result of a facade alteration in the mid-twentieth century. The plain second story is accented only by flush patterns in varying brick courses. There are two pairs of horizontal 2/2 windows. The windows have slightly projecting brick header sills, and a continuous flush band of brick header lintels. The spandrel area between each window and the building's edges is stacked stretcher rows. The remainder of the facade is common bond, except for a course of vertically placed brick stretchers near the cornice area. The first story has a recessed entry on the south end, with display windows to the north having brick bulkheads, and a cloth awning above.
