Area

 Armory Square
This commercial block was originally built in 1873 as Gray Brothers Shoe Factory.  Note the sign advertising Gray Shoes above the third story.  Brickwork around the windows and sandstone sills are the only ornamental features.  The brick cladding of the street-frame, added in the 1930's, harmonizes with the material used in the older building.  Steel-frame construction made large windows possible.  This, along with fire-proofing, made the 20th century factory safer and more efficent than its 19th century predecessors.
