Italianate

This two-story two-part commercial block exhibits simple High Victorian Italianate features. The first story contains a modified aluminum and glass storefront. A large canvas awning covers the transom. The second story painted brick façade contains four tall window openings with segmental arched hoods and stone stills. Stone hoods have exaggerated keystones. Window openings are covered with painted plywood. Elaborate raised and recessed brickwork forms the cornice at the flat parapet. The rear (east) elevation is stone with a one-story brick addition. Rectangular openings on the rear elevation are covered with painted plywood.
