Contributing Building
c. 1897

317 N. Holden St. comprises the center north quarter of the Cord/Lobban/Smith Building Block at 313-319 N. Holden Street. The two-story two-part commercial block has stone cladding and a flat roof. A bracketed, pressed-metal cornice with a raised center panel caps the building. Stone piers with bracket capitals on the first story frame the primary (east) elevation and continue to the top of the building. The primary elevation has three bays; the second story fenestration defines the bays. Stucco clads the first story of the primary elevation; decorative details on the first story reference the decorative stonework on the second story. Wood doors in recessed entrances fill the outer bays; paired one-over-one double hung vinyl windows with simulated muntin grids fill the center bay. A dentillated cornice with center balcony platform divides the first and second stories. Alternating courses of dressed and cut stone clad the second story; a stone relief colonnade flanks the window openings. One-over-one double-hung vinyl windows fill the second story window openings; the paired center windows have fixed upper sashes and a historic frosted glass arched transom with etched decoration. A bas-relief scroll design ornaments the window sills; the lintels are cut stone arches. Businesses housed in this building included Bi-Rite (1931), an annex for the Baptist Church (1958), and Sears-Roebuck (1963-1972). Despite alterations to the storefront such as the stucco infill of the first story, this building retains integrity and clearly communicates its historic commercial function and the era in which it was constructed, rendering it contributing to the District.
