    A Greek Revival building of 1830 gains a cast-iron shopfront later in the century

    Dating from 1830, 228-230 Front Street is a four-window-wide Greek Revival building that has lost most of its original detail. Its ground floor carries a cast-iron shopfront that was installed during the later 1800s: three massive paneled columns topped with stylized acanthus-leaf capitals. The four upper stories of Flemish bond brick still hold some of the early six-over-six double-hung windows.
