Street. The front gable has a pediment, with a louvered vent. Siding is shiplap. Windows are double-hung<br />
wooden sash. Date of construction 1906 per plumbing records, and the building appears on a 1915 Sanborn<br />

this block of H Street. The driveway has two outlets to the street, surrounding a Canary Island date palm<br />
tree, and leads to a <strong>park</strong>ing area adjacent to the building. While the presence of the concrete <strong>park</strong>ing lot<br />
detracts somewhat from the overall integrity of the building, the building and site does retain integrity and<br />
reflects the <strong>historic</strong> use of the site per 1915 Sanborn map, and thus this property is a contributor to the<br />
district.<br />
