(c. 1868-71; altered c. 1930s)

This two part commercial block building has detailing influenced by Moderne architecture. Horizontal design emphasis on the second story is reflected in the two bands of triple windows. These groups of windows are divided by brick pilasters with three stone horizontal courses. The two sets of windows additional share a continuous stone lintel. The remainder of the brick cornice is unadorned, save for the stone coping. The storefront has a recessed centered entry with flanking display windows. The bulkheads, support columns, and lintel are moderately wide brick (not original). The entire area beneath the second story windows to the transom is presently covered with an enclosed awning.
