"(1915) This two-part commercial block building has design elements typical of Early Twentieth Century Commercial buildings, and reflects some influence of the Classical Revival style. The primary elevation faces west onto Massachusetts, with design details on the second story carried over onto the south elevation. The facade has two pairs of 1/1 windows; all windows share a common sill complosed of a continous stone course. Each window pair in turn has surrounds of brick stretchers. A projecting cornice above has brackets. The parapet roof rises to a pediment in the center of the facade, with castellated ends and a stone plaque bearing the date "1915." The storefront has a recessed entry door on the north with sidelights. There is a south display window separated by a brick column. The north elevation has a secondary entrance at the easternmost bay. The other bays on the first story are three-sectioned dislay windows.
