"114 South 17th Street (Russ's Saloon, 1892)
"Rectangular plan (20x50), two-story, brick walls. Two-part commercial block, Italianate style (elongated narrow upper windows with elaborate metal lintels, centered upper level door, cast iron storefront, and pressed metal cornice). This is a single-width storefront. There is a single-story rear addition. The pressed metal cornice, cast iron lintels and storefront motif matches that of 110, 116 South 17Ih Street and 1619, 1621 -23 Grant Street.
The manufacturer of the storefront at 110 South 17th was the General Machinery and Foundry Company, Quincy, Illinois, the probable source for this one. A centered second floor doorway is flanked by windows. A double recessed entryway serves both the store and the upper floor and the woodwork in this area is original or of very early vintage, with original doors. Like many district buildings, this one originally had a shed roof front canopy with metal pole supports. The rear wall is stuccoed and there is a doublewide door to the alleyway. Map #34.
