I did not find any other information on this building.
William T. Shaw built this edifice in 1876-1877, evidently as an investment. This is a 2-story, red brick commercial building now painted red. Its storefront is clad with cover-up materials, but its original inset entrance and support posts remain visible on the storefront, and its original transom likely remains behind other cover-up materials. The upper floor features three bays, each with 1/1 double-hung sash windows. Finished with limestone hoodmolds and sills, these sash are unusually narrow. The hoodmolds are arched in shape and feature keystones. A frieze with three inset panels and a cornice with brickworked denticulation surmount the second floor. The removal of the cover-up materials on the storefront would enhance this building. This building and its neighbor to the west, 101 East Main Street, share the same height. Ross Hanna's Book Store was an early occupant of the storeroom. "A public room was also constructed by Shaw in the second floor. At the time Shaw joked that he was going to start a church in which he would preach. The second level became the location of the Stella I.O.O.F. Lodge."
