    Built in 1880-81 for owner Amos R. Eno, this five-story brick store and loft building was designed by D. & J. Jardine and extends through the block to Thompson Street. It has seven bays on each street, with paneled cast-iron columns at street level. The building's beveled lintels and corbelled cornice with a central pediment are typical of neo-Grec industrial design.
