(1901)

This large two-part commercial block building with five storefronts has design details which reflect the influence of the Classical Revival style. The tan brick second story has fourteen double-hung windows with stone lugsills and segmentally arched tops, each with four rows of radiating brick voussoirs. The cornice area of the roof has a lower brick belt course, eight oval attic vents, and a projecting metal cornice with a row of brick dentils. The rehabilitated storefronts have recessed entries and display windows with a concrete skim coat over the brick kickplates. The glass transoms have small multiple panes. A metal I-Beam serves as a storefront lintel, supported by two cast iron columns at two of the entries.
