(c. 1870; altered c. 1925)

This two-part commercial block building has design details typical of those reflecting Early Twentieth Century commercial influences. At one time combined with 821 Massachusetts, the red brick asymmetrical second story is probably reflective of that period. It has two off-centered square windows, with irregularly arranged multiple sashes. The two windows share a common stone sill, and have flat surrounds with label molding. Above the windows is a continuous projecting entablature, while the parapet roof edge is irregularly stepped. The storefront has a wide, recessed central entry flanked by display windows which have Permastone veneer kickplates. A flat metal canopy is suspended by metal cables from the storefront lintel.
