Abstract

This building exemplifies the Greek revival architectural style. The building is made of brick. The restaurant has many bas relief ornamentations. There are several fixed, Chicago windows throughout the façade of the building. There is a cornice around the exterior of the building. There is an acroterion over the front door. There are several hood molds across the side of the building. There is drip molding around the roof.
