MODERN DOUBLE-LOT STORE BUILDING. A good example of small business structure built on two lots with apartments on the second floor. This building has an attractive brick facade with terra cotta trim and two store fronts of standard construction, allowing splendid show window space. The basement extends out under the front sidewalk and is lighted in part by sidewalk lights, details of which are shown on the opposite page. Each store contains 390 square feet of floor space and gets extra light from skylights located in the center of the building. On the upper floor are the apartments of five rooms each -- two bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen. The sidewalls are drawn in at the rear to provide extra light for the apartments. This building is 50 feet wide and 44 feet long. Modern double-lot store building
