434 King Street
Commercial District
Constructed as a frame, mixed use commercial/residential single house circa 1895, this King Street structure was built on the site of a shoe factory first operated by James Elder in the 1840s. In the mid twentieth century, the structure was altered and a stucco over brick veneer was applied to the front façade,
Current owner Ted Stoney’s goal was to rehabilitate the property in such a way so that the building’s former single house character would once again be an integral part of the city’s streetscape. The first floor storefront was modified with wood trim and doors, the modern brick painted, and a large canopy added to create a more substantial, unified ground floor.
Physical evidence in the interior motivated enlarging the second floor windows to approximate their original size. A large, leaded glass window acknowledges the presence of the original piazza and serves to frame views of the interior stair.
