"The anchor buildings in the Russellville Historic District are located on the corners of blocks. The earliest buildings in the district -- the Shinn Building (PP0092), constructed in 1875, and the Dr. Brooks Dmg Store Building IPPOl62) -- best exemplify late nineteenth-century commercial construction. The Shim Building is a two-story rectangular brick building with a brick paneled parapet with inset decorative metal grills spanning the front (north) and west elevations. Slender segmental arched double hung windows on the second floor of the front (north) , east, and west are the most prominent stylistic feature of the Shinn Building. Restoration of this building was begun in 1995 and exterior work has involved removing stucco covering the exterior brick, uncovering second floor windows and returning first floor storefronts to their original appearance."
