(c. 1856-58) Key Contributing
This three-story, two-part commercial block building has Italianate architectural features, found in the accentuated cornice area and the elaborated arched window surrounds. The second and third stories are identical, with eight bays of round-arched, double-hung 4/4 windows. The two center windows on the third floor have metal fire escapes. The windows have quarry-faced stone sills and lintels, with a keystone in the arch of the lintels. The projecting cornice is accentuated with corbelled brick brackets. There are two storefronts on the first story. There are secondary entries leading to the upper stories on both ends of the facade. The south storefront has a centered flush entry door with flanking display windows featuring diagonal wood siding. The transom area has been closed down, and is covered with a cloth awning. The north storefront has a recessed centered entry and display windows with comparatively high brick bulkheads. The transoms have fixed vertical sashes with wood mullions, with a signboard partly covering.
