Regarding The Arnett Building. The nomination form for the Middletown Historic District describes this building this way:
"Just east of the Model Garage is the 1915 Fink store and Residence (now the Arnett Building), a combined store and residence with a clear-cut separation between the commercial and residential sections, similar to small neighborhood stores being erected during the first quarter of the 20th century in urban areas."
