No change. Green with brown courtyard infill. Two-story brick commercial building. Loarge two-story brick commercial building, one in a row of three such buildings that were constructed c. 1847 by builder Francis D. Gott.

The original ground floor openings of these Greek Revival buildings would have consisted of a side-hall entrance and two square-headed window openings.
