The original National Register Application had this property as noncontributing. The updated application, which I list second, has it updated as contributing due to the fact that the new listing was done in the 2000's and this property has now been restored to its original 1909 appearance.
The fenestration is of a central recessed pair of wood and glass doors flanked on both sides by a glass display case that runs perpendicular to the sidewalk. A metal canopy supported by four metal poles extends over the sidewalk to the curb. There is a peaked entablature at the cornice with the date in wood letters (somewhat worse for wear) 1907 L. Fritz.
The original application:
112 East Court Street

One-story brick commercial building; two three-bay storefronts with central entrances
Transom area altered, cornice area covered by false facade. This building replaced the one burned in a fire which destroyed most of the block in May 1907.
