"(1899)
This is a Late Victorian example of a two-part commercial block building. The double-wide brick front building is two-and-a-half stories in height. The upper story of the double-wide painted brick building has a unified treatment. There are eight tall, narrow 1/1 double-hung windows with quarry-faced stone sills and lintels. Above the windows are four recessed brick rectangular panels. Centered below the cornice is a stone plaque with “C.J. ERIKSEN 1899”. The projecting cornice has corbelled brick brackets, and the roof edge has tile coping. The storefront has recessed double doors at the south end, and a secondary recessed single door leading to the upper stories to the north. In between the two doors are large display windows with brick bulkheads. The transom area has been boarded over."
