Building Description:
The structure is approximately 50 feet deep (North to South – perpendicular to street), 100′ wide (East to West – parallel to street) and approx. 45′ in height. The building footprint is approx. 5,000 gross square feet with a second and third level of same areas, respectively, producing approx. 15,000 gross square feet and three stories in total. There is evidence that the structure was constructed in several phases with a newer addition (Eastern section, post – 1910) and older original section(West section pre – 1910). In general, the same construction materials are present in the older and newer sections. Both interior and exterior architectural elements are sparing and unremarkable in their representation of the Victorian Commercial style that was typical of the period.
