"This rectangular one-story brick building, originally an office building, featured a second story for furnished rooms with a gable end between two piers, the south one shared with the adjacent Old Masonic Temple. See Photo H-5. The carved stone motifs at the intersection of the piers with the belt course match those on the Masonic Temple. At the rear of the building remnants of the second story walls are visible and the roofline as it attached to the Old Masonic Temple is delineated. A sealed door at the second story of the Old Masonic Temple reveals a former connection between the two buildings. The building, topped by a stepped pattern parapet with a diamond filigree band, conceals the flat roof. Largestorefront windows are framed in wood and shaded by awnings a woodpane area above the windows is used for signs. Tiles forming a base below the store windows have been painted but remain intact."http://focus.nps.gov/GetAsset?assetID=f6fae65a-251f-48e1-b793-89eb615105d5
