HISTORIC BUILDING 1894
121 FIRST ST.
In June 1894, the new building was
the home of a drug store. The upstairs
was occupied by a ssavings and loan co.
and a real estate co. In 1904, the
upstairs became the offices of a
doctor and a lawyer. In 1929 a bakery
was opened downstairs, then a
grocery. The Sharp Grocery was here
from 1939-1958, followed by various
bussinesses. Bob and Karen Morris
bought and restored this building in
1989 for their Antique Shop.
Current owners are
Terry and Debbie Decker
DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION 1992
The building is in good repair and is unoccupied.
Date of Construction: 1894
This brick two-part commercial block has a rectangular footprint. The front elevation is three bays wide. Second-story fenestration defines the bays. Tall, narrow one-over-one light, double-hung wood windows fill the second-story openings. The first story features a non-historic three-part wood storefront system. The storefront configuration includes a double-leaf entrance door flanked by two storefront windows. Pilasters with small, paired brackets divide the first-story storefront bays. The nine-light, fixed wood windows rest on wood-paneled bulkheads. Additional character-defining features include the original pressed metal, bracketed cornice that features a raised center pediment that reads "DRUGS," and the original cast-iron window hoods and sills.
This building retains its architectural integrity and clearly conveys its historic associations. It is a contributing element to the historic district.
