"The Lesem Building, built in 1871, is a four-story brick commercial Italianate warehouse building. This style was a popular architectural style in America from 1850 through the early 1880s. It was one of the first commercial styles successfully built from manufactured materials. The style was at its peak in 1871 when the structure was built, which is evident in the extent of elements included in the design of this building."
