Add category
3-story commercial building originally completed in 1847 as a rowhouse. The current facade was erected in 1912 by Schwartz & Gross in an early 20th-century commercial style. It has remained in commercial ever since, now occupied by McDonald's. The ground floor is green-painted wood and metal. The 2nd floor contains a large bay flanked by red brick piers containing three windows, including a large center pane, all framed in green-painted wood. Supported by a metal spandrel panel, the 3rd floor repeats this pattern. The facade is terminated by a bracketed metal cornice with Beaux-Arts swags in the frieze.
