871 Onderdonk Avenue's corner storefront has given way to brick infill and a picture window
The corner building has a three-bay front on Onderdonk Avenue ending in a curved bay and a seven-bay side on Catalpa Avenue, where the main entry, two historic metal fire escapes and a one-story rear extension stand. By the 2010 survey its corner storefront had been removed and filled with brick and a picture window under an asphalt-shingled roof, the rear storefront was also infilled, and a roll-up garage door had been cut into the extension.
