"The Derby Building is a 2-story rectangular flat roofed concrete building with fanciful parapet and applied cast-concrete decoration over four storefronts. A continuous string of molded colored tiles frames the first floor at either end and appears as a stringer course at the second floor level. The storefronts have been individually altered with only one retaining the hexagonal black and white floor-tile in a recessed entry. The second floor is punctuated with 15 identical double-hung windows and is embellished with sculptured emblems in triangular wreaths and pilasters framing the three central windows. Four medallions occur at the top of the curvilinear parapet which follows the outline of the decoration and culminated in a stepped parapet with urn finial." (visit link)
