"Date of Construction: c. 1886
Style: Italianate
Historic Name: Snyder Pharmacy
This is a two-story brick Italianate commercial block building. The first-story storefront has been significantly altered by the use of brick infill. Fenestration includes fixed single-light windows and a recessed entrance door that is at a skewed angle. A double course of soldier bricks spans the brick infill above the storefront openings. Thin decorative cast iron posts remain visible at each end of the brick infill and a steel beam with decorative roundels spans the building above the first story. The second story continues to express the building's original Italianate design. Above the steel beam is a dentiled pressed metal belt course. Above the belt course, fenestration includes three bays of windows. The predominant window is a wood double-hung sash with a one-over-one light configuration. The central bay features a single-light fixed window flanked by double-hung sash windows. Above the windows is a decorative pressed metal belt course with a floral design centered above each window. The bracketed pressed metal cornice sits above a band of brick corbels. It terminates in a pedimented gable at the center of the facade."
