Regarding Simonet's Furniture and Carpet Company Building. Excerpt from historic district registration form:
Simonet's Furniture and Carpet Company Building, 1904, altered post-1953 (#305): This is a two story wide brick structure with a flat roof, painted brown. It was originally in Classical Revival style with a molded cornice, brick panelled parapet and second story window groups of 3: 5: 3. Two window openings have been added to the second story marring original window groupings. There is new flat brick in the parapet and the comice is missing. The storefront has been altered.
