Abner Bell's

-A A +A
c. 1928. 5th St., between Erie and Cayuga streets

The presence of the building is asserted through a raised rooftop lantern with a double row of bracket supports and a tile roof. Other accents are the tile sheet roof over the street windows and the entrance arch with its tile-filled lunette and columns to the side. If pressed, one supposes, the building's designer might have said that its image is Mediterranean.
