"The Tetley Building, which was built in 1912 utilizes ornamentation
from both Victorian and Craftsman styles. It is a large two story brick building
wi the words "TETLEY BUILDING A.D. 1912" in a panel on the upper facade. The
building's blend of tan and red brick and its ornamental corbeled cornice are
both typical of Victorian era buildings in the area, while the simple lines of
the facade and the rectilinear brick panels above the second floor windows are
more in keeping with the Craftsman movement. The Tetley building was built by or
for the same family who owned the Tetley Jewelry Store building at 14 E.
Columbia, and both of those buildings remained in the Tetley family throughout
the period of significance." ~ Historic District National Register Nomination Form
