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 724 S Kansas Avenue to the north by a party wall. The first story has a non-historic aluminum and glass storefront. Wood panels cover the transom. The second story contains two, rectangular window openings with peaked stone window hoods with exaggerated keystones. The multi-light 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 façade of 724 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.
