"This brick Italianate building has two stories and a stepped parapet. Atop the symmetrical front elevation is an entabkture with a banded cornice, a frieze with a course of diamond ornament, and curved brackets at each end. Tall second-story windows appear in segmentally arched openings. A narrow belt course tops the storefront. In its current remodeling, the storefront has a recessed entrance flanked by arched windows of anodized aluminum (ca. 1985). The northwest elevation has second-story windows similar to chose on the rront and a continuation of the belt course. Toward the front is a tall bricked-in doorway with a semi-circular arch. Joseph Kettlewell had the building constructed to house his hardware business on the first 3oor and offices above. The building clearly marks the northwest edge of the district and contributes to its historic character." (
