"This one story rectangular brick building is located on the southwest corner of Park Street and Times Way, an alley. The Park Street facade is divided into three bays, each with a large square window topped by a semi-circular transom window divided into six vertical panes. The upper portion of the facade is tan and buff colored brick in a herringbone pattern. Other features include a gargoyle at the outside corner of the building, marble trim below the windows, hexagonal floor tiles on the two recessed entries and cast concrete decorative trim around the windows. (Photo 1-1) A two-story frame building occupied the site from 1897 or before until replaced by the present building in 1926. In 1897 the building housed a public hall and a billiard parlor. At the rear of the lot stands a brick warehouse building of unknown construction date. The use of various sizes of brick on this structure detracts from its otherwise simple and straightforward architectural character." (visit link)
