"The Weinman Block consists of two, two-story, brick, Late Victorian, commercial blocks which, located side by side, have had a common interior for many years. The block's eastern side is a three-bay wide Italianate structure built in the 1880's, while the broader western portion built in 1892, has an elaborate, Late Victorian, galvanized iron facade. The block has brick masonry and wooden interior framing.
The Weinman Block, whose two sections were built a few years apart to accomodate the family butcher shop, is significant as one of Ann Arbor's most notable Late Victorian commercial blocks. The facade of the structure's western half is a fine example of the metal front building that was popular in Michigan between 1885 and 1910. "
