Two virtually identical buildings comprise this complex: large, rectangular-plan 2½-story blocks set perpendicular to each other at the south and east edges of a large lot devoted otherwise to surface parking. The shingled Post-Modern buildings each have full-width wood-and-plate-glass storefronts on their first stories, three projecting cross-gable-roof large oriels with balconies at the second-story level on the larger of the three and balconies on the attic levelof each of the smaller two, shed dormers on the roof, and a delicate railing around roof-crest decks. This complex borrows none too subtly from Newport’s Shingle-Style buildings of the 1880s.
