Elias Kauffeld Building, South Side

Elias Kauffeld Building
Fujifilm FinePix HS10.

A particularly splendid mid-Victorian building from 1881, as we can see by the beehive date stone in the middle of the façade.

The architect would probably have told you that the style was Renaissance, but mid-Victorian architects were much freer in their interpretation of historical styles than the next generation would be.
