613 S. Main St., Contributing c. 1920 Two-Part Commercial Block
This three-story brick building's facade is four bays wide. Upper-story fenestration defines the bays. The upper-story window openings are tall and narrow and contain non-historic fixed sashes. Square and diamond-shaped blocks of contrasting stone are set within the dark brick in a regular pattern to create a tapestry brick treatment. The first story features a wood-framed plate glass storefront window system with a central recessed entrance. Adjacent to the storefront, the entrance to the second floor occupies the south, end bay of the front elevation. A transom window spans the full width above the storefront. Additional character-defining features include the soldier brick splayed lintels, the brick dentillation across the cornice, and the dressed stone belt courses between the first and second story and above the cornice. Despite the replacement of the upper-story windows, the building retains its character-defining fenestration, tapestry brickwork, and the historic storefront framing. This building retains sufficient architectural integrity to clearly convey its historic associations.
Though portions of this building may date to c. 1899, the outward appearance and height of the building date to after 1906; the tapestry brick façade treatment suggests a post-WWI date. 'The building first appears in its current configuration on the 1950 Sanborn map, at which time a hotel occupies the upper two floors with retail below. The hotel operation during the early to mid-twentieth century was the Brady Hotel.
The building appears to be in good condition and is currently occupied by clothing store.
