J. C. Boggess Building - Liberty, Missouri - Victorian Style Architecture on Waymarking.com

Under construction in 1894, this Two-Part Commercial Block building contains elements common to the Queen Anne style. It is located on the southeast corner of E. Kansas and Main streets, and the primary facade faces north, towards the courthouse square. The storefront is altered, and currently contains two recessed entry doors with a large, centered display window and bulkhead below. The transom area has been stuccoed, and bears the name of the current business. The second story of the north elevation contains the most decorative elements, with a central cast metal oriel window flanked by segmentally arched windows set within a rectangular recessed brick panel. The roofline is terminated with a metal cornice with brackets. The second story of the west elevation features arched windows embellished by compound brick arches, tied together with a brick string-course. An iron fire escape leads to a second story west entry. At the rear (south) of the west elevation are two small storefronts with entry doors.
