    Historic Features: Building was originally 2 separate structures--a 1.5-story 19th-century gable front building at 620, and a two-story building at 622 built in 1952.

    Alterations: In 1981, the existing 19th-century structure at 620 was demolished and replaced with 2.5-story building. Although not indicated in permit file, it is likely that the existing facade of 622 was also substantially altered at that time to match the Neo-Tudor design of the new building at 620. Exterior was again remodeled in 2012, which reflects the current design of the building--2012 non-historic elements include false gable/stucco with brick detailing; replacement windows on facade of both buildings in altered openings; new, reconfigured storefronts on first floor; balcony and new openings along north elevation
