-A A +A
1888. 28–30 N. 5th St.

A fairly straight-forward two-story brick and stone-trimmed building displays an energetic pediment with two fanlike devices over the main entrance. The street corner of the building is treated as a two-story rectangular bay which was originally designed to have a major entrance at its base.
