A single story, stone masonry commercial building with a beige and brown brick façade and a decorative, green clay tile roof. Its first floor storefront features a central entry and plate glass display windows set into an aluminum frame. Its sandstone foundation supports sandstone walls, and the roof behind the raised parapet is flat.
This building, built by Otto Guenzel in 1929 to house his dry cleaning business, was designed in a commercial vernacular interpretation of the Craftsman style. The use of decorative brick “parquet” patterning with the random placement of brick of two different colors lends a rough, unplanned character to the otherwise flat and unornamented façade. The green clay tile roof and exposed wood brackets further reveals the influence of the Craftsman style and renders this structure one of the more unusual buildings in downtown Batesville that reflects the influence of a traditional style.
