Regarding Doctor's Office. Excerpt from the South Union Street Courthouse and Commercial Historic District Nomination Form (pg. 12):

This diminutive building demonstrates that even the smallest of Concord's commercial buildings could boast a great deal of style during the early twentieth century. Sanborn Maps show that it was built between 1911 and 1921 (stylistically it appears to date closer to 1920), replacing an alley

2. Doctor's Office Marker to the bottom right of the entrance. Business is currently a show repair shop
between the two adjacent buildings. It was first used as a doctor's office, but by 1927 it had converted to use as a store. In recent years has been a shoe repair shop. The yellow brick facade is largely consumed by the shop front, whose off-center door and adjacent shop window are headed by a three-part, segmental-arched transom with arched brick lintel and concrete keystone. The facade is enframed by narrow, paneled brick pilasters which ascend to the decorative concrete of the building's parapet.
