Regarding Marcellino's Music Store. Excerpt from the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Bridge Street Historic District, which includes this building:
On the south side of the street the two-story stone building at 171 Bridge was occupied in 1883 by a piano dealer, and later housed a secondhand store, a dry goods dealer and a furniture shop. The facade is brick with three windows topped by carved label moldings under a carved and bracketed sheet metal cornice. The first floor display windows have been replaced but the stone quoins and string course are still in place.
