"c. 1876.
Two-story brick vernacular building with sandstone foundation, masonry walls, flat-rolled roof, three bays, a rectangular footprint, and multi-paned replacement windows. The facade is original with arched ribbon windows, door, and transoms. The building has red-painted brick over its entire exterior and an elaborate cornice of brick at the top as well as a decorative brick belt course along the front on the west side of the building. Three windows face the front, each with painted wood bracketed hoods, and the windows on the south side have original brick segmented arches. The front door is angled toward the street corner and is accented by a cast iron column. Two sides of the structure are street-facing; the Franklin Street side includes a bay window which is original as well as two 1/1 and one 2/2 windows with simulated panes on the second story. Three prominent windows on the front of the building have modern glass with simulated panes. Known through the years as the Halbrook Office, this structure was meticulously restored in 1984."
