Pink canopy building on E. 2nd - Ottawa, Kansas - Victorian Style Architecture on Waymarking.com

Date of Construction: c. 1895
Style: Late Victorian

This is a one-story brick Late Victorian commercial block building. The single storefront features wood-framed plate glass display windows resting on brick bulkhead walls that flank a recessed entrance. Cast iron columns divide the storefront roughly into thirds. Plywood covers the transom area. The brickwork in the upper wall area is similar to that of the adjacent building at 125 East 2nd Street and features flared brick piers, a stepped cornice, and brick corbels. A non-historic wrought iron railing encloses a porch on the roof of the building.

While alterations to the storefront partially compromise the building's architectural integrity, it retains enough original fabric to communicate its architectural style and its historic associations. It contributes to the significance of the historic district.
