    In 1889 William Rankin erected a five-story brick apartment house at 46 Bank Street, designed by architect James W. Cole in a Classical style. Its stone front is rusticated at street level, and classical pediments on corbels crown the windows of the second and fourth floors. The entrance sits off-center, and a fire escape runs down one side of the facade.

    “This narrow five-story brick building, faced with stone, was erected in 1889 for William Rankin in the Classic style and was designed by James W. Cole, architect.”
