[2] The district contains a number of two- and three-story buildings, each in a unique style.

Although the buildings are very different, common features include distinctive parapets at the roofline, often with the name of the business inlaid in brick or metal.

The storefronts include large display windows with a main entrance flanked by cast iron or wooden columns.

The upper levels of the buildings often include windows topped with ornate hoods.
