I strongly suspected that this building, a bank, received its arcaded front some time in the 1960’s. The brick wall just looked older, or not quite right.
Ah ha, looking at the wall facing the alley, you can see a dentilated cornice, that reveals that this bank was once constructed in a different style.
That building might have a time capsule from the 1970s. I guess that is the reason why it has a modernist look.
Well I have to correct myself. The time capsule is buried across Lockwood at the US Bank. It was buried in 1973 and set to open in 2053.
