The brown paint really flatters the red of the bricks this evening doesn't it. False front leaning back.

The Stark County Auditor website says the left half of the building is from 1919 and the right half is from 1927. Since the two halves are united by a single symmetrical false front, I HAVE CHOSEN TO BELIEVE that its current appearance is more 1927 than 1919.

 

Moreover I have decided that my belief shall become everybody's truth.

 

I advise my clients to do their best to try to hide their dumpsters from the direct view of potential customers.
