"ca. 1881,1910.
A two-story, three-bay, commercial building with Italianate detailing. The secondary (west) elevation, which faces Washington Ave. is divided into six bays. The basement is partially above grade on the secondary elevation, and the entrance to this space is via a door on Washington Ave. Windows on the first floor of the west elevation have been filled in. Although the storefront dates to the mid-twentieth century, one remnant of the building's 1910 storefront is still in place - a large marble column, which is located on the west end of the facade at the comer of Court Square and Washington Ave. A metal shed awning runs continuously across the facade of this building and the adjacent two buildings to the east. On the second floor of the facade, the two outer windows have stone rounded-arched tops with a stone keystone and fixed sash; the two inner windows share a single flat, stone lintel, have stone quoining, and are filled with new 1/1 double-hung sash. A wide wooden cornice runs the width of the facade and wraps around to the first bay on the west elevation. Below the cornice, a brick and stone corbel table runs the width of the facade, and the length of the west elevation. A stone belt course, which runs across the facade below the second floor windows, wraps around to the west elevation and continues the length of the secondary elevation as a brick belt course."
