(c. 1866)

This Late Victorian example of a two-part commercial block building has design elements which complement, but are slightly different than, those of 822 Massachusetts. The painted brick second story has four 1/1 windows with semi-circular arched transoms, set within a double recessed brick surround. There are radiating brick voussoirs above. The cornice is demarcated by a double brick beltcourse surrounding a course of alternating recessed stretchers; this extends south onto the facade of the adjoining building. The flat roof edge has tile coping. There is a secondary entry on the north end of the first story. The storefront has a recessed entry flanked by large display windows with cast iron columns as dividers. The fixed sash glass transoms are shaded by a cloth awning.
