The diminutive Spanish Mediterranean–styled building is a stark contrast to the firm’s sweeping Chicago School Calisher Building of 1911 next door at the corner of E. Texas and N. Stanton Street (201–205 N. Stanton). Divided into two offset bays, the two-story stucco scheme appears to be a pair of village row houses. The taller entrance bay has a single, wide arch at ground level and a large window above with an iron balcony. Three small round windows dot the attic zone, and above is a hipped red tile roof. The narrower east bay is simpler with a pair of windows and a flat roof. The first floor was a showroom for sewing equipment, and the second floor was intended as a school for seamstresses. A Singer “S” near the top of the building still identifies the building’s original occupant.
