Ralph S. Townsend designs the building for owner Harry Chaffee
Architect Ralph S. Townsend designs this six-story Classical Revival store building for owner Harry Chaffee in 1896, as the area turns more commercial. It is a steel-and-brick structure trimmed with limestone and terra cotta. The facade keeps its historic cast-iron columns at the first story and a bracketed pressed-metal cornice at the roof decorated with rosettes and masks.
