Rectangular plan, two stories, brick walls. The first story of this building has been totally altered; it has an aluminum frame door to the south below a large canvas awning. The storefront is entirely sheathed below five small, high windows with canvas awnings; the storefront transom area has been infilled with glass block. The second story has a center window grouping consisting of a 4-light sash flanked by 1/1 sash with a 4-light transom and stone lintel. The north and south end bays have 1/1 sash with 1-light transoms and stone lintels; continuous stone sill. A corbelled stringcourse is below a corbelled brick cornice with stone coping. This building is adjacent to 117-119 and 123-125 S. Ohio. (non-contributing)
123-125 South Ohio Avenue, (Veterans of Foreign Wars Meeting Hall, Pettis Co. Post 2591), c. 1880, Italianate influence.
Rectangular plan, two stories, brick walls. The first story has been altered to being flush with the facade plane; it was infilled with concrete block sometime after 1981. The second story retains much of its original integrity including its fenestration with elaborate round arch metal hood molds. Smaller replacement sash have been inserted below wood infill, but the original opening is obvious. Both the main facade facing South Ohio Avenue and the secondary East Second Street facade retain the original cornice with brackets and broad eaves. This building is adjacent to 121 S. Ohio and is on the northeast corner of S. Ohio Avenue and E. Second Street."
