Historical doorway and windows. by Tim Kiser

Admire the symmetricality. The two windows nearest the doorway mirror one another in their respective proportions of brick and cinderblock fill-up.

According to the people of the Macon/Bibb County Board of Assessors the bldg is from circa 1900. I love to learn!

As of February 2017 the building had a pink-colored architectural slipcover. It is seen here undergoing a renovation as part of the "Crescent Corners" phase of the "Central City Commons" project. It is a gentrification.

Wow this 1951 commercial building I found downtown looks really awful! Its beige bricks have unsightly stains! It looks like trash! by Tim Kiser

However, I was astonished by the beauteousness of the ornamental ginkgo and the ornamental grass.

In downtown Jackson, Michigan, on August 12th, 2018, a building (erected 1951) on the south side of West Michigan Avenue, east of North Jackson Street.

A "Huron Camera" shop occupied the building from who-knows-when until 2005, then it was something called "Image Gallery" until 2008, then it was vacant.
