This beautiful old mixed use commercial/residential building was built in 1922 and it has some wonderfully charming features. There are still many intact porcelain subway tiles along the perimeter of the walls of the downstairs retail space and some original hardwood flooring near the storefront. The remainder of the walls are a beautiful cream city brick. The building hosts two large solid glass single pane display windows and there are antique Frank Lloyd Wright windowpanes featured in the West facing transom above the storefront windows that refract the light all the way to the back of the room on a sunny day. The display windows are large and perfect for displaying wares or drawing prospective customers!
