APARTMENT BUILDING
post-1960
NR nomination: Two-story brick apartment building.

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

2015 Survey Update: This two-story, side-gabled apartment building is six bays wide and double-pile with a brick veneer, six-over-six wood-sash windows, paired at the second-floor level, and tripartite windows on the first-floor façade featuring eight-over-eight windows flanked by two-over-two windows. Entrances, two near the left (south) end of the façade and one on the right (north) elevation, are six-panel doors with classical fluted surrounds. They are sheltered by shed-roofed porches on grouped square posts, though they were originally flat roofs, and railings have been removed from the porch rooflines since 1992. Three entrances on the rear (west) elevation are nine-light-over-two-panel doors, each flanked by six-over-six windows and accessed by uncovered brick stoops with metal railings.
