July 2009: The Pireus Store is rectangular in form with the narrower, gable-end fronting on East Market Street. Actually two stories in height, only one story shows on Market Street because of the sharp ground rise. The façade is two bays in width (door and a window, side hall and one room) and the store is two rooms deep. Construction is brick laid in Flemish bond on the façade (but only partially into the gable) and laid in five course American bond elsewhere. A single story porch covers the Market Street façade. The roof has been recovered in slate shingles. A substantial two-and-a-half-story addition, meanwhile, has been added to the east elevation. Built of brick laid in Common bond, the addition has a side-gabled roof set a few feet higher than the original block. The addition has a prominent cross-gable that approximates the pitch and width of the original block's front gable.
