112 S Wayne Ave

From the National Register nomination

This two-story, four-bay, mixed-use commercial building retains one of the least-altered upper-story facades among the downtown's Italianate structures. Like the adjoining building at 116 S. Wayne, the building's segmentally arched second-story openings are topped with brick arches that suggest hood moldings. One-over-one double-hung sash remain in the openings, which have cast-stone sills. The third window opening from the left originally was a doorway, which led out to a covered balcony suspended over the sidewalk 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 dent moldings, a frieze, and modillions. The ground-level storefront has been enclosed with a brick wall, with two unrecessed entries and a small modern window. A shed roof obscures the transom area of the storefront. The building housed Virginia Gas Distribution Corporation in 1935.
