History of
Building
422 Main,
This building
was recorded in the 1885 Sanborn insurance map as a
grocery. In 1896 and 1901, the building housed the
Post Office with offices on the second floor. The
building housed a jewelry store from about 1911 to
after 1939. The Sperling Jewelry Store was listed at
420 Main in 1932. Ida May Shreve was the property
owner in 1954 and George Shreve was the owner in 1965.
This is a
rectangular one-story brick commercial building wit a
flat roof and parapet in a row. The building has a
three-bay storefront with a central entrance flanked
by display windows. There are brick end piers with
corbelled brick ornament. Alterations include a
modern metal entrance door with a sidelight flanked by
display windows. There is mock stone sheathing on the
storefront bulkheads. The transoms have been
covered. There is board and batten sheathing with a
mock shed awning at the eave. According to appraisal
records, this store front was remodeled in 1956.
