Built: 1893
Demolished: 2021
Address: 717 North River Street
Stone pilasters flank the central opening which is a design technique to establish two separate store fronts and to emphasize the major entrance to the upstairs. Symmetrical in design, the building displays a Romanesque arched window on the second floor and a denticulated cornice. On the rear facade you will notice ornate brackets that once supported two balconies.
The original Save Our Sandstone group was created when the back wall collapsed. The original group acquired and rebuilt the wall. They then sold the building so restoration could and did continue. It was later sold to a nonprofit that did not continue restoration. Eventually the current Save Our Sandstone was created. We tried and failed to save it from demolition.
