The Quarton Building

Fred V. Quarton erected this building in 1916 on the site of the family home of his wife, Emma Blakeslee. Over the years, the facade at street level changed several times, but the second floor kept its original appearance, including the metal cornice with its four distinctive metal spheres and the letters of the name Quarton just under it. The Levinson family purchased the building prior to the Great Depression and owned it for over 70 years.
