Late 19th & 20th Century Classical Revival

This two-story two-part commercial block has a brick façade with Classical Revival stone ornament. The first story contains a modified storefront with metal panels and aluminum and glass display windows and entries. A large metal canopy spans the façade. Metal siding covers the transom area. The second story is red brick with limestone trim. Fenestration divides the façade into three bays. The outer bays each contain a stone beltcourse and a paired window with a stone still, an elaborate brick hood, and exaggerated keystone. Each of the outer bays is capped with a simple stone cornice with dentils. The flat parapet has stone coping. The center bay has brick pilasters that support a stone entablature that rises above the flat parapet. Two windows in the center bay have stone sills and lintels. Rowlock brick arches, exaggerated keystones, and carved stone panels ornament the blind arches. A stone beltcourse in the outer bays, interrupted by the center bay, continues at the springpoint of the arches. The 1/1 hung windows have aluminum storm windows on the exterior. The rear (east) elevation has EIFS panels and metal siding. The second story contains single punched openings with 2/2 hung sashes.
