Street
Common name: D and F Cafe
Date of
construction: c. 1912
Style: Vernacular, Western False Front
Significance:
Compatible
Description: Single-story frame building with
gable roof oriented longitudinally on lot 21 feet wide. Historic views
of ca. 1915-1920 show that siding and false front are shiplap and that
false front had the kind of wooden cornice which made this vernacular
type the simplest expression of the Italianate Style. The shop front had
traditional display windows and wood bulkheads. About 1956 the exterior
was comprehensively stuccoed and the cornice removed. A canopy was added
to shelter the remodeled storefront in which bulkheads of plate glass
windows are veneered with brick. While this property dates from the
secondary period of development, it is presently classified for tax
purposes as compatible owing to the effect of the 1956 alterations upon
the character of the building.
