Contributing Building
c. 1890

The two-story two-part commercial block has brick cladding and a flat roof. A corbelled parapet with terra cotta tile coping caps the building. The primary (east) elevation has three bays; the second story fenestration defines the bays. Paired, glazed aluminum doors flanked by multi-light aluminum display windows fills the first story storefront. A vinyl door with stained glass transom pierces the north side of the primary elevation, accessing the second story. Vinyl siding fills the transom above the storefront. The historic window openings on the second story have corrugated metal infill in the upper half of the opening and double-hung wood windows in the lower half. The openings have arched brick sills and cast stone lintels. Businesses housed in this building included a grocery store (1895), “M” System Store (1931), American Sales Co. (1958), Mark Richard Dress Shop (1963-1967), and Mode O’Day Dress Shop (1972). The second story façade of this building is intact and, despite alterations to the first story, this building continues to communicate its historic commercial function and the era in which it was constructed, rendering it contributing to the District.
