History (associated events, people, dates)
T.C. Hoag’s Subdivision/Original Town plat. This building first appears on the 1931, appearing to replace an earlier 2
story rectangular shaped building which was setback from the Village sidewalk. The building was labeled as a auto repair
shop on both the 1931 and 1944 Sanborn maps, first as 531, then as 608. Historically, an auto repair shop also occupied
the building adjacent to the west, with a machine shop two buildings to the west. The Village Hall was adjacent to the
east.
Description
Foundation not visible; brick (replacement) facade with synthetically sided side elevations (narrow gauge beige); steep
shed composition roof. Tall 1 story, rectangular shape, 4 facade bays, 4 east elevation piles. Two small 1/1 double-hung
sash set low in left bays of facade. Entrance with large light door at-grade with another small 1/1 on right/west. Steep
canvas awning nearly full-facade serves more as a sign than as an entrance cover. Central concrete parapet inset with
varied soldier course cornice over central two bays only. Concrete cornice with dentils. East elevation with blind front. 4
1/1 double-hung sash toward rear. Blind to west where 610 is set close, about 18", from the elevation.
Integrity/Major Physical changes from original construction
Facade and side elevations appears to have undergone a modern rehabilitation. Facade without a storefront aspect, with
modern windows more residential in nature.
Subsidiary Building(s)/Site
Asphalt parking lot to west, where the former Village Hall once stood. No setback.
