Commercial

This three-story building exhibits a simplified commercial style design. The first story contains an aluminum storefront, a recessed entry, and multi-light display windows. A wood sign at the transom spans the storefront in the adjacent building as well. Upper stories feature glazed terra cotta cladding with restrained Classical details. Each story has a single window bay with a Chicago Style window made up of narrow, hung sashes flanking a wide fixed window. Third-story windows have exaggerated keystones above each window. A simple terra cotta cornice and flat parapet cap the building. The rear (west) elevation is field stone with multi-light metal windows with pivot sashes. Building permits indicate that the façade was updated in 1915.
