242 West Jackson Street Commercial Building #221-5010-0016 CB.


"This ca. 1925, Commercial-style two-story, two-bay, masonry building rests on a foundation of parged concrete
block. The building is constructed of brick, also laid in five courses of stretcher bond alternating with one course of
Flemish bond. Brick buttresses with corbelled brick edges define the building’s front second-story area. The flat roof
has parapetted sides and barrel tile coping. A one-bay concrete stoop marks the off-center entrance, which consists
of a metal and glass commercial door. Other openings consist of vinyl 1/1 sash windows with rowlock brick sills."
