Cushman Block I, 1872

In the fall of 1872, William Cushman was erecting two fine brick buildings, one on either side of his bank building. The west building had its roof completed as workers laid the foundation for the other one, and it was undoubtedly leased for commercial use. Today stucco covers the original brick. Original features include the secondary wood cornice with brackets between the two floors, the trim, and the storefront openings, including the exceptionally tall doorway. A small brick top cornice is missing, and a doorway with a transom leads to the second floor.
