Its medieval character is largely intact. The character is expressed through the small scale, steep gables, decorative bargeboard and limestone framed openings. The transoms above display windows and doors have stained glass. This brick-faced concrete block building could accommodate six different shops. It occupies the site of a two-story saloon and residence. The 1887 Sanborn map indicates that a beer garden pavilion was located behind the structure. <br>Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, 1987 |
