Bo's Kitchen & Bar Room

 restaurant, American Craftsman (architecture)

3-story mercantile building originally completed in about 1860 as a 2-story stable. In 1879 owner Phillips Phoenix hired architects Kimball & Wisedell to add a third story to the building, which was to be used as offices and dressing rooms for the adjacent Madison Square Theater. The following year the architects designed a new facade in the Craftsman style.

In 1909 Mr. Phoenix again rebuilt the facade and altered the 3rd floor according to the designs of Maynicke & Franke; at that time the building was converted into the William H. Lubold restaurant and a 3rd-floor apartment. White-painted brick piers on granite bases with recessed panels and gabled pinnacles flank the facade. Each contains a lion's head boss, which was originally the point to which a canopy cable was attached. The black-painted storefront spans the width of the building at the ground floor. At each of the 2nd and 3rd floors there are three pairs of multi-paned wood casement windows, surmounted by dark-brown wood spandrels with recessed panels. A dark-brown hoodlike roof cornice, with exposed joist ends, resting on two large side brackets, surmounts the facade. The ground floor is currently occupied by Bo's restaurant.
