Late 19th and 20th Century Classical Revival

This two-story two-part commercial block has Classical Revival decorative elements. The first story storefront is wood and retains its historic configuration of a recessed entry with large display windows. Wood panels cover the transom. The buff brick second story has large window openings with buff brick surrounds and exaggerated stone keystones. This façade was added in 1911. The historic openings contain paired multi-light windows with center pivot sashes. Buff brick infill surrounds the non-historic windows in the historic openings. A denticulated stone cornice caps the second story. A brick parapet rises above the cornice and is articulated with squat brick pilasters. The rear (east) elevation is stone. Tall, rectangular window openings in this elevation are infilled with concrete block and/or smaller replacement windows.
