All have been extensively remodeled with false fronts of various types. This <br />property has been reclad with a shingled mansard and modern display window. <br />Significance <br />This building has no historic integrity, although it is possible that a good amount of <br />the original fagade survives behind the modernizations. The historic building under <br />the fagade alterations was built in 1911, after a fire that destroyed this section of the <br />block. The Elk River Post Office was among the tenants. The brick storefronts each <br />had a single entry with a display window surmounted by a glazed transom. The flat <br />roof of the block had a simple parapet with a corbelled cornice. <br />
