APARTMENT BUILDING
1932-1948
NR nomination: Two-story, brick-veneered apartment building.

In the 1998 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building.

2015 Survey Update: The two-story, hip-roofed building is five bays wide and double-pile with six-over-six wood-sash windows with soldier-course lintels, two gabled dormers on the façade, each with siding and a single window, and exterior end brick chimneys. The central entrance is a six-panel door with three-light-over-one-panel sidelights and three-panel blind transom that is sheltered by a flared hipped pent roof. Entrances on each end of the façade are six-panel doors, recessed slightly, and sheltered by flat-roofed porches on square columns with railings at the rooflines. Second-floor-level doors above these entrances open to small porches created by the roofs of the first-floor porches. Two-story, hip-roofed wings project from the rear of the right (east) and left (west) elevations. A two-story shed-roofed frame porch, centered on the rear (north) elevation, shelters an exterior stair that provides access to the rear of each apartment and has been enclosed with screens on a weatherboard-covered knee wall at both levels.
