My Commentary
This two-story, yellow brick building has a glass and metal door towards the left of the northern facade. The rest of the northern fenestration consists of a three pane display window with vertical metal mullions. The second story fenestration consists of three double hung windows. The cornice is dark stone. The building has a flat roof.
The western facade is probably where the fire equipment was stored. Now painted with a mural, I can imagine, especially with the southern portion, where overhead doors stored firefighting equipment. The building is now home to an art studio and to a beauty salon.
