Notes
  • Significance: This yellow brick and terra cotta six-story store and office building is a simple, well-proportioned example of the commercial development in this area about the time of the first World War. It faces east on Seventh Street with a frontage of 55 feet and extends 100 feet along D Street, five by eight bays. The east front has been modernized on the first floor but otherwise the exterior is in its original stage.

The facades are designed according to the orthodox scheme of that time, having a greater proportion of solid wall at the corners and more openings toward the centers, where a three-story arcaded treatment united the third, fourth and fifth floors (three bays on the east, four on the south). The lower two stories are expressed as a podium by recesses between brick courses at intervals , which simulate rustication. Moulded belt courses at the second, third and sixth floors mark the division of the walls into horizontal zones, and a refined cornice of sheet metal, with a course of modillions, terminates the composition. The roof is flat. Ornamental cast-iron balconies at the corner bays of the fourth story relieve the over-all simplicity.
