Resource Description: |
This two-story modem commercial building incorporates International Style influences into its design. Symmetrical in composition, the building is capped with a parapeted flat roof and contains two glass storefronts. The second floor is clad in large travertine panels that extend below the floor-level, making the first floor appear low and streamlined. Both store entrances are recessed under the second floor extension. The storefront on the south end has several independent glass "floating" display boxes mounted on posts along its southern wall. Large, double glazed doors provide entry into the store. The storefront on the north end of the building also has large, glazed double doors that lead directly into the building from the street. This storefront has one display window that projects out from the northern wall.
