The district's Continuation Sheet (see Optional link) doesn't say much about this commercial 1-part building, other than noting its construction in 1939, suggesting some changes in 1941. There are hints of Art Deco here, with a raised parapet in the center of the building, and note the two strips of opaque windows flanking the entrance. There are also six display windows, three on each side of the entrance, the the tan brick looks to be unmodified.
