"The Foresters' Hall (1928) is a two—story commercial stucco structure with broadly angled parapet. Two lines of banded molding separate parapet from second story and second story from ground level. Windows at the second story level are wood frame, 6/1, double—hung. The ground floor has two entrances, one leading upstairs and one a commercial entry. Multi—light transoms are over display windows and commercial entry area. "A.O.F" and "1928" are inscribed within the building's parapet. The Foresters' Hall contributes to the historic character of the commercial district. The building, like many constructed directly after the 1927 fire, has a parapet and stucco siding. The parapet, which is broken on both sides and rises to a point in the center, constitutes an important design element and sets the building apart from its plainer neighbors. The stucco masks reinforced concrete, a material intended for permanence." (visit link)
