About the construction

Description
This two story Italianate commercial building is topped with a dentilated cornice. An oriel window and small window with relieving arch fenestrate the second story. A large store front window and recessed entry, typical of the period, make up the first story front facade. There is a modern awning above the store front. An arch was cut in the interior wall between 105 and 107 E. Michigan Avenue in 1954. The opening remains today.
Date Of Construction
ca.1897
Context
This late nineteenth century commercial building still retains much of its architectural detailing, although the upper story has been painted and the storefront altered. Over the years it was occupied by Nissley's Dry Goods, Schmid's Grocery, Ash & Tanner groceries, a bookstore, and Walker's 5&10 cent Store. In 1940 Mr. Tanner moved to a large building on N. Ann Arbor where he operated "on a warehouse plan, all merchandise being displayed in original cases...".
