Merchant Theo Bauer had this two-story limestone building with a brick front constructed in 1898. Between 1960 and  1976, owners covered the upper wall with a metal slipcover that has since been removed, revealing much of the original  façade. The first-floor storefront was remodeled about 1980. The second story features five original tall, narrow arched  bays with limestone sills now filled with double-hung metal windows. The original arched eyebrows above the  windows have been removed. Atop the wall is a decorative brick cornice containing the date “1898.” A rectangular  parapet contains the name “Theo Bauer.”
