1. Warren Opera House Block and Hetherington Block.
They are both 2˝-story brick structures. The Opera House block, originally owned by E.E. Warren, is located on the corner and features a corner turret. It housed Warren's dry goods store and a theatre. The adjacent commercial block was originally owned by John J. Heatherington and is similar in style to the Opera House block. The Opera House's parapet has a triangular pediment with "Opera House" on a rectangular base, and the Hetherington Block has a similar feature in a simplified form.(Submitted on March 21, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
