225 W Main
1906
Neo-Classical style
While contemporaneous with adjacent 221 West Main, this facade uses a simple single plane wall massing. Only
the three rectangular brick panels set into the parapet front differ from this dominant wall plane. Three windows are
evenly spaced on the second floor. Each is defined by a thicker stone lintel and a thinner stone sill, the ends of both
elements project beyond the sides of the window openings. A tin cornice with supportive brackets, paired at each
end, forming three uneven bays in the center, completes the plan. The sidewall rowlock courses are laid with darkly
burned brick which results in a candy-striped appearance to the sidewalls due to the pattern of darker horizontal
lines.
The storefront is completely hidden beneath a metal slipcover but the second floor is unobstructed.
A billiard parlor was the first building tenant and the same use continued as late as 1947.
