Information

Historically known as the Michael Hazzard building. Idential upper story window treatment and parapet details as 100, 102 and 104. Superbly intact cast iron storefront with oversized storefront windows and transoms blanking the narrow single light double doors in the central recessed entrance; a two light transom is above. The cast iron columns frame the entrance and the cornice of brackets and details is intact above. The hoodmolds, keystones and labels are deeply incised with an organic pattern. A name block reads "M. HAZZARD, JUY 1888" in the parapet. A aised stretcher row is below the cornice of soldier sawtooth brick and the tile coping from 100, 102, and 104 ontinues here. Hazzard had a grocery store here, then later moved next door. His business closed in the early 1920's and Amos Bloomingdale opened his grocery store here. Other businesses were a meat market, Mackey Funeral Parlor, dentist Dr. Sturman, hardware stores and restaurants.
