This two-story commercial building originally extended a number of bays south, but these have been removed and their site is now vacant. The front of this structure is of frame construction and is now covered with vinyl siding. Tall double-hung windows on the second floor are trimmed with projecting wood lintels supported on small brackets. It is one of few remaining wood frame Victorian commercial structures which were once typical of this neighborhood.(Submitted on June 26, 2023, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
