Original Description (transcribed from book)

The projecting bay with the shop window is an unusual solution for the problem of storefronts. This building possesses a fine cornice and interesting brickwork.

Original Note (transcribed from book)

The 400 Block of North First Street retains little of its original residential character, and those remaining buildings have been badly damaged.
