The Cohn Wonder Store had a very attractive Fourth of July window display. This popular display would cause several young children to stop and look at it.

This two-story building was altered in 1940. It has brick cladding, terra cotta tile coping caps, and recessed brick panels. Display windows flank the main entrance, with a fabric awning shading the first story. There are also fabric awnings on the lower half of the windows on the wrought iron balconettes. This building retains integrity and clearly communicates its historic commercial function.
