This has been taken from Salem Online History:
"The two-story Queen Anne style Bush-Breyman Block, constructed in 1889, is of unreinforced brick masonry with a stone foundation, cast iron front, and cast iron interior columns. It one of several building on Commercial Street designed by Walter D. Pugh and was once a part of a major business block with half again as much frontage on the street. The remaining section has a facade organized into two wide store-front bays and a stairway entrance bay offset to the north end. The building measures 53 x 90 feet. A single-story addition on the rear (north) was built in 1926. The sheet metal false roof originally had an iron cresting. The bracketed cornice which has a low-relief imbricate pattern remains. The bay containing the stair to second story offices is crowned with a broken pediment with finial and swag. The pediment over the round-arched portal of this bay contains the building’s date of construction, 1889. There are three large stilted flat arched bays on the second level, fitted with double-hung sash with a multi-paneled, stained glass transom capped with an ornamental keystone. The storefronts were remodeled in 1911, 1926, and 1965, and a c.1930 metal canopy is located over the stairway entrance. The building retains its historic integrity and contributes to the downtown district."
