Regarding Agnew-Gary Block. The 1884 two-story Masonry Vernacular Style building at 10 S Magnolia Avenue was historically identified as the Agnew-Gary Block, according to early Ocala City Directories. The original Commercial Vernacular Style, two-part facade was simple, with three recessed storefronts, storefront glass over ornamented wood kick panels, regularly spaced double-hung sash windows along the second-floor level, and a bracketed cornice. The northern bay was demolished as a result of the widening of Silver Springs Boulevard.
