Late 19th and 20th Century Classical Revival

This three-story two-part commercial block features white glazed brick with white glazed terra cotta trim. The first story has two storefront openings with modified aluminum and glass storefronts. Upper floors contain six individual windows at each story. Each window opening has a non-historic 1/1 hung sashes with glazed terra cotta surrounds. Rectangular window surrounds include quoins and voussoirs with exaggerated keystones. A terra cotta cornice with small dentils caps the second story. The shaped parapet has terra cotta coping. Building address numbers are attached to the stepped portion of the parapet. From above, this resource appears to be two separate buildings with a party wall and shared façade. The rear (east) elevation confirms the separate building configuration. It is painted field stone. Those rectangular window openings that have not been infilled retain their historic wood 1/1 sashes.
