The National Register's Registration Form (see Optional link) provides some background, dating this building to around 1894, with a possible 1916 façade that was put into place after a 1915
gas explosion caused serious damage to the area:
c. 1894. Possible c. 1916 Façade. Commercial Style. Contributing. This two-story light brick building is flat-roofed and has a stepped parapet wall finished with coping. The facade has polychrome detailing with dark brown brick. There is a row of dark brown soldier bricks above the window openings, and the paired window openings with concrete sills are covered by shutters. The transom area is visible. The store façade is partially flush brick infill with small fixed single pane wood windows. The entry has a recessed metal panel door, and the entry area is white basket weave tile. The awning is wood. Decorative details include a frieze of basket weave brick pattern with light and dark brick above the windows, and narrow rectangular decoration of dark brick to each side of the frieze. The façade appears to be c. 1916, which would have been after the railway car explosion, although there is no record at present of a rebricked façade. There is a wood and metal awning.
