330 N. College Ave., Indianapolis, c. 1970[Fredrick Simon Grocery, 330 North College Avenue 1860, east portion added 1870s Fredrick Simon built this Italianate commercial building as his grocery store and residence in two phases. In 1860 he built the original portion and in 1870s he added the Italianate front. Simon was a subscriber to the German-English Independent School, where his daughter Sophia was educated. The structure is distinctive as the major commercial building of the nineteenth century in Lockerbie Square. Italianate style features of this two-story brick structure include a truncated hipped roof, two-bay facade, and a full entablature with paired brackets, cornice and frieze windows. The two second-story front windows have ornamented hoods with finials, cornice and brackets. The first floor of the front facade is pierced by the double-leaf front entrance and display window, which have transoms. A stone lintel course stretches across the facade connecting the window and entrance, historic ally serving as the sign board. The 1887 Sanborn map shows that the building has a one-story porch which extended over the sidewalk, and remained at least until 1914 . The large two-story industrial brick addition on the rear was constructed sometime between 1914 and 1927. -Lockerbie Square Historic Area Preservation Plan, 1987] Yes |
