Original Description (transcribed from book)

This is an unusual commercial building of the turn-of-the-century, distinguished by the projecting bay windows on the second floor. The triangular site at the corner of Clay and Brook is emphasized by a corner turret. This is among the finest commercial structures of Jackson Ward.

Original Note (transcribed from book)

The 300 Block of West Clay Street - This block is one of the best preserved in the district containing good examples of Greek Revival and Italianate houses. The street trees of this block contribute greatly to its charm.
