101 E. Walnut St. - Chilhowee Historic District - Chilhowee, Missouri - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

My commentary:
This building is completely covered, top to bottom, by metal siding. Gaps in the siding appears to show damage to the building. The description also mentions damage.

Built in 1910, this squarish two-story brick building originally housed the drugstore of Dr. T. S. Howard and the barber shop of M. L. Day. During the 1920s, it became Lacy's Meat Market. The three-bay storefront is recessed and moderately corbeled, with corner piers. Windows and a transonied side entrance are segmentally arched, with concrete lugsills. The recessed double-door entrance has been superficially altered by the installation of wood paneling over the east doorway. An interior wall divides the lower level into two units with connecting doorways but the full second floor was designed as living quarters (unusual in the Chilhowee district, where most second floors had a commercial function). The brickwork by Ed Inman of Warrensburg, Mo., is representative of area commercial architecture in the early 20th century. In 1986, the uppermost three courses of brick were removed and a gable roof installed. This changed the corner building's character, since only a sloping flat roof would have been appropriate. The original corrugated metal awning is intact. The interior has sustained extensive water damage and integrity is diminished by the new roof.
