Builders raise an Italianate double-flat with two ground-floor shops
A four-story flat-and-store building stands by 1853 at 250-252 Ninth Street, a number changed to 345-347 East 9th Street in 1868. It is an early example of Italianate design, with red brick upper floors and two wooden storefronts on either side of a central entrance. The building holds four apartments per floor, and a pressed-metal cornice with embossed imitation blocks and scrolled brackets tops it.
