"The unusual facade on this two-story brick building of rectangular plan is composed of subtly patterned polychrome brickwork bordered with bands of pink terra cotta. It features a modified stepped parapet decorated at the top with finials and medallions, also of terra cotta. A band of transoms with.vertical and curved muntins appears above the three storefronts, two of which have been alter and joined to create a large store. The remaining storefront features a recessed entry finished with tiles including a row of colorful jewel-like 1" x 1" tiles in the base below the store windows. Historically, a frame building with three identical stores,"http://focus.nps.gov/GetAsset?assetID=f6fae65a-251f-48e1-b793-89eb615105d5
