Joseph Hermann had this combination commercial-residential building constructed. The walls of uncoursed ashlar sandstone are complemented by a pressed metal cornice and window hoods. High-grade, purer red sandstone is used on the front, while the sides and rear are of a poorer grade. The 48\u2019 x 68\u2019 building had two stores on the first floor; the plate-glass windows have been replaced with brick infill. On the second floor, denoted by two pressed-metal oriels, were two flats, each of nine rooms. As the newspaper noted, \u201ceach flat will have entrances from the front and rear and will be supplied with all modern improvements including open fireplaces. The building will be lighted with gas.\u201d^{1<\/sup>\u00a0The building is currently very deteriorated; the roof has collapsed.<\/p>\n}
