104-0213-0179 Primary Resource Information: Mixed: Commerce/Domestic, Stories 2.00, Style: Other, ca 1900 This 2-story, 3-bay, shed-roofed brick building was constructed at the turn-of-the century. Commercial use was on the first floor and living space on the second, as was common with many commercial buildings of this era in urban areas. The three-part wooden storefront topped by a denticulated and bracketed entablature is intact and is comprised of large, fixed, 4-light, wood windows over paneled reveals flanking a double-leaf, wood and glass door. The second floor facade is comprised of three, unevenly spaced, 1/1-sash windows with segmental arches. Two of the windows are centered above the storefront and the third is centered above the blank wall on the first floor, which may have at one time contained a door leading to a second-story stair. The building, now only used residentially, also features a corbelled brick cornice with overhanging wood entablature, a shed roof, a split-level brick foundation, two interior brick chimneys, and a modern rear deck.
