Jaskulek Building/Mabel Lewis Dress Shop - Roseburg Downtown Historic District - Roseburg, OR - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

This two-story 22' x 100' brick building has had many tenants. It was originally 60' deep, the remaining 40' was used as a wood storage shed for the many shops in this block and to stable Dr. Salathiel Hamilton's horse in case it should be needed in an emergency. The exterior and interior were extensively remodeled and a second story added in the 1940s by owner Mabel Lewis who had a dress shop here for many years. The storefront features a large plate glass display window, occupying about two-thirds of the front, a heavy glass entry door opens near the north end of the building. Window and door trim, including a molded door-pull are brass in an art deco motif. The display window rests on a marble base, marble is also used as a base for a small display window north of the entry door. The inside of the building was also renovated and decorated following an art deco theme.

The building was first occupied by Jacob Jaskulek, a watchmaker who also sold cigars and varieties from this location in 1886. In 1909-10 one-half of the space was occupied by A. Salzman, jeweler, the other by G.L. Prior, and electrician. In 1935 the tenants were Goldie's Booterie and the Mabel Lewis Dress Shop. Mrs. Lewis bought the building in 1946 and began renovations at that time. The Cornelias bought the store in 1984 from Mrs. Lewis' daughter, Jane LeBeau. Present owners and tenants of the building have a formal clothing rental store here.

This building is Inventory #91 on page 48 of the NRHP Nomination Form and was erected in 1880. Today, this building is home to Brix Grill, an eatery, which also occupies the building next door.
