Reilly Brothers & Raub Building
44 North Queen Street

This building has one of the most intact original storefronts along this stretch of North Queen. Built in 1911 as a hardware store, it was designed by C. Emlen Urban in a French Renaissance style (a variant of the Beaux Arts). While the city's other commercial buildings typically used brick, tile and terra cotta, this refined façade employs granite, Indiana limestone and copper. The original metal signage appears just above the storefront opening, while the tall paired windows on the upper floors are separated by copper friezes.
