My Commentary
The first floor fenestration consists of a central recessed entryway. The entry has a metal and glass door with a transom above. The display case on each side angles from the entry and terminates with a single glass pane that runs parallel to the sidewalk. A metal canopy covers the entire fenestration. A glass and metal door with a transom is on the far right of the facade and it leads to the second story.
The second story fenestration has a run of metal blocks directly above the canopy. Signage for the building is directly above. Two three-over-one windows with stone sills are equally spaced along the second story facade. The cornice is stone. The building has a flat roof.
