COMMERCIAL BUILDING
1950s
This two-story, side-gabled, brick commercial building has a Flemish-bond brick veneer, parapeted gables with concrete coping, and a slate roof with a modillion cornice. The storefront opening, which has a splayed brick lintel, has been enclosed with siding and features a fixed multi-light window flanked by recessed entrances with nine-light-over-two-panel doors. Eight-over-eight wood-sash windows at the second-floor level have splayed brick lintels and wood windowsills. The building is not present on the 1945 Sanborn map and likely dates to the 1950s.

In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building.
