The Greenberg Building

This historic office building was constructed about 1907.  It has a Roman brick

 front  façade and was built in the then popular style of a business arcade

building.  The building originally had a three story atrium and was open to

 Main  Street in the front  and to the rear lot with stores and offices facing

 each  other  along its center walkway.   It was the predecessor to our malls.

  In 1973 the  building was  extensively modernized  with a new front façade,

 air conditioning,  modern plumbing and electrical  systems.  In 1998 the

 building's front façade  was restored to its original 1907 design. The building

 is well maintained  and has a fire  alarm system.

Ample free parking is available behind the building on the well maintained

 public lot.  Dumpsters are provided for tenants behind the building.
