111 - 113 Church Street
The Abraham’s building at 111-113 Church Street was built
circa 1830.The building has a unique design, with “the flat roof (being)
pitched at the south end to a third story molded cornice with returns, and
capped along the east and west ends with parapets that create a Federal style
silhouette”[1]. The building
has undergone significant remodeling, including a 1933 facelift that added a
black glass and aluminum storefront that was removed in the 1960s.The current
Art Deco faŤade, the result of a 1946 remodeling, makes the building “ one of
the finest examples of the Moderne Style in the State”[1].Extensive
remodeling occurred again in 1950 when the recently acquired corner section was
resurfaced and the interior was completely redone. The building now houses a
camera store and restaurant.[1]
