It replaced two frame double residences, which appear on the 1927 Baist map. The building accommodated five shops on the first floor and twelve apartments on the second floor . The building is virtually unaltered with all of its features and details intact. Built as a stark utilitarian structure, all of the store fronts are identical, with the exception of the eastern shop. The shop fronts consist of two display windows, flanking an entrance, surmounted by a transom. The entrance to the apartments is highlighted by a frame of polychromatic bricks capped by simple limestone pediment. These same bricks are found in a band below the parapet. The parapet is unadorned except for battlements, which articulate the shop front bays. <br>Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, 1987 |
