The building at 307-09, on the left was originally built as a foundry
in 1874, and was occupied by the Galvanized Iron Works. The adjacent
building once served as a factory with lodgings in the upper stories.
Both buildings were later owned and used by Witherill, a local
dry-goods company. In the early 1990's, a fifth story with a
galvanized metal cornice was added. By the 1870's galvanized sheet
metal replaced wood and stone for architectual elements. The adjacent
Renaissance Revival Building at 311-13, has cast-iron keystones in its
arched windows and a Neo-Classical metal pediment, probably an early
20th century addition.
