My Commentary
Per the National Register Application, this building would have been three-stories and Second Empire, architecturally. A fire in the hotel necessitated remodeling which caused the third-story, along with the Mansard roof to be removed. It was remodeled into Italianate - tall thin windows and bracketed details on the building, in this case, the stone sill. This building would have stood out more if the fire had not happened and the Second Empire details were still there.

This two-story brick building was constructed ca.1890 and was altered due to damage by a fire sometime after 1925 and within the period of significance. Originally, the building had a Mansard roof, and was three-stories. The building was remodeled to two-stories with a flat roof. The original window openings are intact but hold down sized six-over-six double-hung replacement windows with the upper section of the opening covered with vinyl. The windows feature intact double segmental arches and a continuous stone sill. The original decorative instepped brick corbelled cornice line, which delineated the second and third levels remains intact. The façade holds a double storefront with original cast iron pilasters and cornice with decorative medallions manufactured by Christopher & Simpson, Street Louis, MO. The south storefront has an inset-centered entrance flanked by display windows with a black Carrera glass bulkhead. The north storefront has an off-centered storefront with display windows and a black Carrera glass bulkhead. The transom area over the storefronts has been covered. The north elevation has two small windows with stone sills and an entrance at the west corner with a projecting canopy with column support. The upper level window openings and windows mirror those of the façade.
