(c. 1865; altered c. 1920)

This simple two-part commercial block building has details typical of the Early Twentieth Century Commercial era. The building is clad in red-tan brick, with lighter colored brick used as geometric accents. There are two paired 1/1 windows; each pair shares a common sill of projecting brick headers and lush vertical brick stretcher lintels. Centered above is a single recessed rectangular brick panel, set off by the use of lighter colored brick. The centered stepped parapet roof edge has stone coping. The first story has a secondary entry door leading to the upper level on the south, and a centered recessed entry for the storefront area. The display windows have multiple square panes in wood frames, with brick bulkheads below and multi-paned glass transom above.
