My commentary:
The Aid Hardware Building is on the northeast portion of the square. It now houses an antique store. From what I remember, the gun collection is no longer there. I have a message out to owner of the antique Store to see if she has further information.
1914-15.
A three-story, commercial building with a three-bay facade and a seven-bay secondary elevation. The building is constructed with paving bricks and it has a parapet wall roof. The facade brick is laid in running bond pattern, the side and rear elevations are laid in common bond. A metal and glass storefront extends across the first floor of the facade and is sheltered by a flat metal awning. On the 2nd and 3rd floors, there are 4 - 1/1 double-hung windows in each bay. The windows have flat brick lintels, stone lugsills, and decorative stone cornerblocks. The large tin cornice at the roofline has paired brackets and wraps around to secondary elevation. A stone band between the 2nd and 3rd floors is accented with stone insets in a block pattern - 3 per bay. A stone belt course runs below the 2nd floor windows.
