DiLisio’s, 140-144 South Second Street

Built in 1918 by Italian immigrant Joe Di Lisio in the Decorative Brick Commercial style, this handsome two-story blond and red brick building originally housed the International State Bank. Enticed by the money of the coal camps, Di Lisio established several successful downtown stores, saloons, and the bank. Three Doric columns distinguish the main corner entrance of the building. Divided plate glass windows, surmounted by decorative leaded, stained glass transoms, frame the corner entry. Red brick serves as a continuous lintel to the first story openings, and corbelled brick functions as a beltcourse between the first and second stories. A second entrance framed by Doric columns is located on the south, street-facing elevation. A prismatic glass block transom tops the double-leaf aluminum and glass doors on the east façade, facing Second Street.

The second story has numerous one-over-one double hung windows, some of which are paired. Red brick sills and decorative lintels highlight all windows. An interior chimney is visible from the south elevation. A modillion cornice and concrete coping, with a secondary red brick dentil cornice underneath, accentuate the upper facades. Wire framed letters on the roof announce “Di Lisio’s.”
