116 S Wayne Ave

From the National Register nomination

This two-story, three-bay, mixed-use commercial building retains a relatively intact upper-story facade among the downtown's Italianate structures. Like the adjoining building at 112 S. Wayne, the building's segmentally arched second-story openings are topped with brick arches that suggest hood moldings. Replacement windows with snap-in grids creating a nine-over-nine pattern fill the openings, which have cast-stone sills. Two square louvered vents occupy the area above the second-story windows and below the decorative brick cornice, which abstractly suggests a full classical entablature with dentil moldings, a frieze, and modillions. The ground-level storefront has been enclosed with a plywood-covered wall, with a single unrecessed entry and a multi-pane display window. A mansard-like roof with decorative corner brackets obscures the transom area of the storefront. Occupied by Grocery and Variety Store in 1935.
