When we passed by 107 North 5th Street recently we were amazed to see the building had undergone a brick and stucco facelift that obscures its wood frame origins but corrected its previously very noticeable severe sag in its rear third. We’re sad the owners chose to cover over the wood frame exterior rather than restoring it but happy they seem to have fixed a big structural problem. The lower portion of the building, presumably a store in a previous incarnation, has gained big windows. A sign in front advertised the retail space is now for rent.
