"Constructed in 1889, the Dr. Brooks Drug Store Building (PPOl62) is a two-story brick building with strong Italianate design influence seen in the heavy projecting cornice with brackets and arched windows with pedimented window hoods on the front (east). The first floor storefronts feature cast iron posts. The exterior of this building was covered in stucco in the 1950s and renovated in 1984 at which time the stucco was removed."
