150 W College St 

The owners originally constructed this building between 1885 and 1896 as two separate buildings of native cut limestone  that shared what appeared to be a common pressed tin cornice. During Stephenville’s improvement boom of the 1920s,  the two buildings became one building. Sometime after 1920 this building’s Victorian influenced  cornice was removed and the limestone front was covered with tan brick. The lower half of the building is  one large bay or enframed window wall with fixed metal plate glass windows and two concave entries with double  doors and transoms. A wide continuous border frames the windows and doors below. The rear wall is limestone and the  building has a flat roof that drains to the rear. The window-wall appearance of the façade indicates modernization  during the late 1920s through the 1940s, possibly when the two buildings were incorporated. In 1940, this large  building was home to Perry Brothers Variety Store.
