This corner commercial building was built in 1926 and has housed a variety of businesses, including restaurants, barbershops and clothes cleaners. It has a rectangular plan and red-tiled hipped roof. Each of the five storefronts is articulated by a gabled parapet with cast stone coping. The building is notable as an intact example of a 1920s commercial block, designed with a quaintness popular in that era. With further documentation to identify the building’s developer and its connection with the development of the area, it may be eligible for the National Register. The Newkirk-Wallerick Building was designated a Historic and Cultural Landmark in 1998. It was rehabilitated at that time by Daedalus Development, Ray Boothe, architect. The interior walls were removed but the look of the five storefronts was retained. It is eligible but has not been listed on the National Register. The lower photo was taken in 2006.
