| Appearance |
| The Lewis Building is a two-story commercial structure consisting of four storefronts. Embedded square columns divide the storefronts and the upper story windows, which are rows of double-hung windows in combinations of four and six. The cornice is extremely simple, with the embedded square columns that extend slightly beyond the parapet. A rounded pediment is formed by two of the embedded columns that rise up at either side of the stairwell entrance to the second story. The building remains predominantly intact. |
