Contributing building Victorian
This three-story Victorian building stands in the middle of the 2200 block of Mechanic, across from the towering Bank of America Building. Stucco covers the four-bay south facade. On the ground floor, each bay contains a double-doored opening topped by a transom. The upper stories have six-over-six wooden sash windows in each bay. The segmentally arched windows have stucco hood molds. The roof is flat. In 1949, architect Ben Milam
designed a renovation project to adapt the building for use as a restaurant.
