c. 1905, alt. 1911
Other: Minimal Commercial (Early-Mid 20th Century)

This two-story two-part commercial block has a brick façade and a flat roof. The building is joined with 726 S Kansas Avenue by a party wall. The first story has two non-historic aluminum and glass storefronts set between three historic cast iron posts. A recessed awning covers the transom. A steel beam spans the storefront opening. The second story contains two rectangular window openings with canvas awnings. Multilight aluminum windows with center pivot sashes are not historic. Brick pilasters at the corners of the building are corbeled at the window sill level. Brick beltcourses form a simple cornice. Two vertical stone projections and narrow rectangular inset panels centered above each window provide the only ornament. This ornament along with the cornice is repeated on the face of 726 S Kansas Avenue. This façade was added in 1911. The rear elevation is painted brick and retains its historic window openings with non-historic replacement windows.
