This building is in good condition and is currently occupied by an office supply store.
Date of Construction: 1940

A single story, stone masonry commercial building faced with panels of Batesville marble and topped with a brick cornice laid to form a dentil course. It is supported by a cast concrete foundation and covered with a flat, built up gravel and tar roof set behind a parapet.

Also one of the Barnett Brothers buildings, this building was designed in an extremely spare interpretation of the Art Deco by the architectural firm of Wittenberg, Deloney and Davidson and built by the Jones Construction Company. The sheerness of the Batesville marble façade is relieved only by the unusual row of brick headers at the cornice which forms a dentil course.
