129-131 N Wayne Ave

From the National Register nomination

Located on the southwest corner of Wayne Avenue and Spring Alley, this two-story mixed-use commercial building is one of a matched group of three brick buildings that occupy a portion of the block destroyed by fire in 1924. Like the two adjoining buildings (133-135 and 137 N. Wayne), this building exhibits characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style, including an angled parapet clad in Spanish roofing tiles and classical detailing consisting of jack arches and keystones over window openings, a dentil-pattern brick cornice, and a metal storefront cornice with dentils. Both of the second-story facade window openings have a pair of six-over-six double-hung sash. The building's two storefronts, sheltered beneath striped canvas awnings, were installed during the recent rehabilitation work. Conner's Cut-Rate Drug Store occupied number 129 from 1933 to 1955. In 1935 People's Market occupied number 131. Rehabilitated in 1999-2000 with assistance of local facade improvement grant funds, the building now serves as offices for the law firm of Franklin Denney Ward & Lawson.
