National Cash Register Company Sales and Repair Building

1913

About

A two-story commercial building of buff brick trimmed in white terra cotta, a single bay wide and squeezed between taller neighbors. Terra-cotta cornices banded with egg-and-dart and bead-and-reel run at the first- and second-floor lines, each carried on scrolled brackets, and small diamond bosses punctuate the upper frieze. Four tall double-hung windows fill the second story in a single red-framed band. The ground floor keeps its marble-clad storefront base beneath a metal-canopied entrance.

History

The building was put up in 1913 for the National Cash Register Company as a downtown sales-and-repair branch, with a showroom on the first floor and a repair shop above. It was designed by Thomas Curtis Lee and built by Harvey & Burden. National Cash Register occupied it until about 1933. From 1935 it held Pat Bussone's Wine & Spirits and the L.A. Coney Island Restaurant, which lasted into the early 2010s; the building was acquired by Baileys' Restaurants in 2014. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
