"51. 12-16 W. 5th Street. This two-story, 7 bay building has an ornate pressed metal cornice with large brackets. A small round arched pediment tops the center bay. Second story
windows appear to be early or original and have segmental arches outlined in stone. The
center window is taller than the others and has a round arch. A continuous band of stone
acts as the sills for the windows. The building has two storefronts. The eastern most
storefront has been altered to look line a gable front house with residential type windows
and doors. The western storefront is modern, but has a more traditional storefront of
recessed entrance and large display windows. [C]
