From the National Register nomination
Drugstore, with apartments above. Neo-Georgian Commercial. Built 1927. Brick (stretcher bond); 2 stories; parapet roof; 3-bay front; former shopfronts along Minor Court Lane bricked up. Federal-style glazed arches over entry and flanking shopfront bays; heavy corbelled cornice above first and second stories; paired upper windows with segmental-arched heads. This handsome commercial building is marred by a modern metal facade-length sign that could be removed to expose the original fanlighted shop windows.
